Grepping through the source code reveals that the following chrome.management APIs are used: - chrome.management.getAll - chrome.management.launchApp - chrome.management.uninstall - chrome.management.onInstalled - chrome.management.onUninstalled - chrome.management.setEnabled - chrome.management.getSelf - chrome.management.uninstallSelf

This also looks like malware, many unhappy users here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fromdoctopdf/mallpejgeafdahhflmliiahjdpgbegpk/reviews there's no legitimate reason for a pdf converter to use those chrome.management.* apis
Yeah, you're right, the reviews show strong evidence that it is Malware.
