Description
This app is a helpful tool, and the automation is working, but it's a pity one cannot use it for manual use (integrated into files app). ATM it is not possible to trigger a file conversion to pdf from files app web UI manually.
Expected behaviour
It would be a great enhancement, if it could be integrated into the 3-dot menu as "convert to pdf...".
Additional thoughts
- The original file name could be used by default and only the file extension would be changed.
- It could ask for a new filename with the original filename displayed as default
- There could also be a checkbox "delete original file after conversion"

Research direction
Start with the Nextcloud Files app web UI and its 3-dot menu integration point. Review how the existing workflow-based PDF conversion is exposed, then determine the interaction for choosing an output filename and optionally deleting the original. Done means a user can manually trigger conversion from the menu and receive the expected PDF.
