Add PDF conversion utilities and update build scripts for Linux packaging

Introduce a new pdfUtils.js file for on-demand PDF conversion using pdf-to-img and sharp. Update package.json to include new build scripts for Linux packaging, enhancing the build process with public package handling. Add .npmrc for public hoisting patterns and create build-linux-packages.sh for streamlined package creation.
