"""
The PDFConverter class is a utility for converting PDF files into various formats for subsequent processing.
It employs libraries like pdfminer and pdfplumber to facilitate these conversions.
The class offers functionality to convert PDFs to text using pdfminer, to HTML format, and to extract tables from PDFs with pdfplumber.
While it currently utilizes specific libraries for these tasks, it's structured to potentially integrate other libraries like Camelot for table extraction, as indicated by the commented-out methods.
This converter acts as a critical pre-processing component in various data processing workflows, preparing PDF content for more detailed analysis or content management systems.
