Conversion Method: Local: The extension runs the official "pdfunite" executable from the alpine Linux repository inside an iframe using blink's x86-64-Linux emulator. This method works offline. There is no server interaction whatsoever. Remote: The extension sends all your files to www.online-convert.com, and conversion happens on the server. You can convert any file type to PDF using this method.

Notes:

  1. This extension uses www.online-convert.com APIs to do the conversion, so there is no need to install a native program to convert each file.

I've used this for years and it must not be supported anymore, failed multiple times. Guess I'm looking for something new. :(

Works great with the “Remote (online-convert.com)” option, which creates the output file in less than two minutes, but the “Local (no server interaction)” does not seem functional: it indicates that the conversion is ongoing, but never creates an output file (even after a two-hour wait). Also, the suggestion to “add your free API key to the options page” links to https://www.online-convert.com/subscription-details, which does not seem to exist anymore... so, an update would be welcome.
