Born out of boredom and a weird urgent need to convert documents after getting a new machine, DocuFlare is a not-so-powerful and not-so-versatile document converter that transforms a variety of file formats, including `.docx`, `.pptx`, `.xlsx`, `.txt`, `.md`, and images, into PDF documents. It’s meant to be an offline, FREE!!! tool designed for simplicity, speed, and ease of use, featuring a clean user interface and batch processing capabilities...but there are many issues that remain to be resolved.

• Multi-format support: Convert Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Markdown, plain text files, and images (.jpg, .png) to PDF.
• Batch processing: Convert multiple files at once, or even entire ZIP files.
• Custom output file names: Choose your desired file names and output directory.
• Progress bar: Visual feedback on conversion progress.
• Cross-platform: Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Standalone & Offline: No need for third-party software like LibreOffice or Microsoft Word.
