Description
Converting large PDFs (e.g. 75MB) takes a significant amount of time with no output to stdout during the conversion. For smaller files this isn't noticeable, but for large documents it's unclear whether the tool is still working or has hung.
Suggestion
It would be helpful to print progress updates to stdout during conversion, e.g.:
Processing page 1/120...
Processing page 2/120...
Or a periodic update like:
Processed 10/120 pages...
Processed 20/120 pages...
This would give users confidence that the tool is still working, especially for large files.
Context
- A 75MB PDF took noticeably long to convert while all other files (100KB–4MB) completed quickly
- There was no output during the conversion, making it look like the process had stalled
