Frequently Asked Questions About Converting PDFs to Markdown
How does PDF to Markdown work?
The text layer of every page is extracted with @libpdf/core and formatted as Markdown. You can enable "## Page N" headings and "---" separators so the structure of the original document is preserved.
What can I do with the output?
Copy the result to your clipboard, download it as a .md file, or paste it straight into a CMS, notes app, or repository README. Formatting like bold, italics, and lists from the PDF is approximated where possible.
Is formatting preserved?
Basic structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, and line breaks — survives. Complex rich formatting such as tables, precise fonts, and colors cannot be represented in plain Markdown and are simplified.
Are there limits on file size or page count?
No hard limits — the only constraint is your device memory. Most documents convert instantly in the browser.
