## About

## What it does
Excel to PDF Converter turns spreadsheet files into PDF output jobs you can track, inspect, and download. Send one or more `.xlsx`, `.xlsm`, or `.xls` files in the `files` array, then use the returned job records to follow conversion progress.

Each conversion request returns a `jobs` array. Every job includes a `job_id`, `filename`, `status`, and `progress`, so you can queue multiple workbooks and keep your UI or backend in sync without guessing when files are ready.

Use `GET /status/:job_id` when you need the current state of a single conversion. The response gives you the `job_id`, `status`, `progress`, and an optional `error` field. Status values cover `queued`, `processing`, `done`, and `failed`, which makes it straightforward to retry, alert, or move the file into the next step of your workflow.

When a job finishes, `GET /download/:job_id` returns the converted PDF as binary data. If you are handling batches, `GET /overall-status` accepts `job_ids` and returns aggregate `status`, `progress`, `total_files`, `completed_files`, and a `details` array with per-job status and progress.
