Description
It might be interesting to offer an option to use Dangerzone to do the conversion, rather than directly doing it via Libreoffice.
The benefits would be as follow:
- OCR the documents, making them searchable
- Avoid exposing the host
- Create a "secure" version of the documents
- Supporting other formats, such as images
Would you be interested in a pull request that would go in this direction?

Research direction
Review the existing LibreOffice conversion path and Dangerzone's documented conversion interface first. Define the scope of an optional Dangerzone-based workflow, including OCR, host isolation, secure output, and support for additional formats; the work is done when that scope is implemented and verified.
