TL;DR: Send an image to your OpenClaw Telegram bot, tell it "convert to PDF and password-protect with XYZ," and get your secured document back in seconds. No manual tools, no desktop apps — just natural language.
Why This Matters
You're on your phone. You need to quickly:
- Convert a photo of a receipt to PDF for expense reports
- Password-protect a document before sharing
- Merge multiple images into a single PDF
- Compress a large file for email
Traditional approach: Download an app, figure out the UI, maybe hit a paywall. With OpenClaw connected to Telegram, you just... ask.
Real Example: Image → Password-Protected PDF
That's it. No apps. No accounts. No learning curve. Just natural language.

Why Telegram + OpenClaw?

Mobile-first: Take a photo, send it, get the result back. Perfect for on-the-go document tasks.
Privacy: Your files go through your own OpenClaw instance (or OpenClaw Cloud), not some random "free PDF converter" website with questionable data practices.
