Notes

• Accepted input format: .pdf.
• Works best with text-based PDFs. Scanned or image-only pages will produce empty or minimal output; use PDF OCR to add a text layer first.
• Conversion is handled by LibreOffice running headless on the server.
• Complex layouts (multi-column, overlapping elements) may not convert perfectly.
