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.
