NOTE: Converting files (especially complex data files like XSLX/CSV) is not always a perfect science. This package is consuming 3rd party open-source libraries in order to perform the provided conversions. Please make sure that your files are well tested before heavily relying on this package for production conversions. If you run into issues with a particular file not converting as expected, you're encouraged to take a look at the GitHub repo for this project in order to self-support/debug your issue or head to the A-People forums. There is no support for this package outside of Community Support available on our A-People forums.
