🚀 How It Works (The Logic)

1. Scanning: The app identifies all .pdf files in the selected folder.
2. Conversion: Each PDF page is rendered into a high-resolution image.
3. Extraction: The OCR engine scans for the keyword "TID" followed by numerical patterns.
4. Logging: Results are stored in memory and then written to an Excel sheet using ClosedXML.
5. Status Reporting: If a TID is unreadable, it is marked as Not Found for manual review.
