Common Questions About PDF to Markdown Conversion
What kind of formatting is converted to Markdown?
This tool tries to identify common structural elements like headings (H1-H6 based on font size), bulleted and numbered lists, and basic text emphasis (bold and italic). The accuracy of conversion depends on how well-structured the original PDF is.
Can it handle image-based or scanned PDFs?
No, this tool requires the PDF to have actual text data. For scanned or image-based PDFs, you must first use an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool to convert the images to selectable text before using this converter.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
Absolutely not. The entire PDF to Markdown conversion process happens locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your computer, ensuring 100% privacy and security.
