A practical guide

PDF Text to Markdown: a worked example

Choose a PDF with embedded selectable text.
Export to Markdown; PDF text is kept in code blocks grouped by page.
Convert or inspect, review the result and save it if needed.

Try this example

Export selectable report text to .md. Page headings are generated; the PDF text stays literal inside code blocks rather than becoming executable HTML or inferred tables. Review reading order before reuse.

After

Page heading + literal text block

Input and expected output for this operation. Illustrative example.

What you get

Limits and important details

Maximum 10 MiB input, 200 pages and 4 MiB text output. Scanned documents without a text layer report an error instead of a fake successful extraction. Reading order, columns and fonts may not match visual layout. This is not OCR or PDF-to-Word.
