Hm. Another blue one. This one apparently has the interesting
capability of allowing a default login after a timeout, and shows it.
I'm less than thrilled with the Bulk Document Converter

demo walkthrough. Ideally, though, options such as recursion,
recursive depth, and document type would be included here.
"Select input as PDF document only"? That could be reworded.

Linux. Because it's not the desktop that's
important, it's the ability to DO something
with it.
