A PDF converter using Ruby on Rails web application without conversion and storage history. This app was designed for a sole purpose of maintaining confidentiality of the documents uploaded for conversion. The app upon conversion automatically clears out the uploaded doc immediately and the converted doc after a specified interval. Currently as of now it supports singular uploads and multiple at a time batch processing is unavailable as of this initial build. Supports only for .doc and .docx to PDF and other formats are not currently under consideration
Note: This is a complete Web application and not a plugin or a gem.
PDFer version: 1.0.0
