Start at the beginning by doing the upload. Then write a function that takes the path to the file you wish to convert a path for the newly converted file to be saved.
Just because the first example has the file name hardcoded, doesn't mean you can't just replace it with a variable. Don't combine the process of upload with the process of converting, do two bits of code and then use them together.
