PDF to Markdown

Turn PDF copy into editable Markdown

Documentation teams often inherit PDFs when a product manual or report needs to move into GitHub, a static site, or a wiki. This converter reads the embedded text layer with pdf.js, groups lines in reading order, and applies lightweight Markdown rules: larger type becomes headings, bold and italic font names are wrapped, and bullet characters are normalized into list items.

What to expect

The export is best-effort. Multi-column layouts, tables, footnotes, and images are not reconstructed automatically. You get clean starting Markdown you can refine in any editor. A live preview shows how the syntax renders before you copy or download the .md file.

For a geometry-heavy dump (coordinates per text span), try PDF to JSON. For a simple plain-text pull without formatting, use PDF to Text.
