PDF

Turn text-based PDFs into editable Markdown. The converter reads the text content page by page and outputs a clean .md file. Perfect for extracting documentation, reports, or articles.

What you get

A multi-page PDF report with headings, paragraphs, and formatted lists.

Plain Markdown text extracted from the PDF. Basic structure is preserved, but layout-heavy PDFs may need manual formatting.

Limitations

  • ⚠ Scanned PDFs (images of pages) will not work — OCR them first.
  • ⚠ Complex layouts like multi-column pages may export as jumbled text.
  • ⚠ Images and charts are not extracted.
  • ⚠ PDF forms and interactive elements are ignored.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will scanned PDFs work?

No. Scanned PDFs are just images. Run them through OCR software first to create a text-based PDF, then convert.

What about PDFs with images?

Images are not extracted. Only the text content is turned into Markdown.

Can I convert password-protected PDFs?

No. Remove the password first using a PDF editor.

Why is the output messy for some PDFs?

PDFs with complex layouts (multiple columns, text boxes) may not convert cleanly. Simpler, document-style PDFs work best.

How large can the PDF be?

Up to 10 MB.
