Brings a PDF into the connected asksteps account and stores it as a form template, so the answers people give can later be written back into that exact document. Requires "pdf:write". Unlike asksteps_analyze_pdf this one KEEPS the file, counts against the account's PDF-form quota, and also handles scanned documents through text recognition. It does NOT create the form: which fields become questions is the user's decision. You get a link that resumes the import in the asksteps studio with this template — no second upload. Pass exactly one of pdf_url or pdf_base64.
