Oh okay, got confused with your reply. 
 You can have another User Input task after the PDF conversion node and show the document inside that form. Since the path is activity chained, after clicking on upload, the process will convert the document and show it in the next interface where the user lands.

You need to save the (new) Doc ID of the converted PDF into a PV, and pass that value into your user input task's interface. I'm not sure what you're intending to do in the screenshot above, but what we can see is not enough.
