PDF to Markdown — Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the PDF to Markdown conversion?
Our converter uses advanced text extraction to preserve document structure including headers, paragraphs, lists, and basic formatting. Complex layouts, tables, and images may require manual adjustment in the resulting Markdown.
What happens to images in the PDF?
Currently, the converter focuses on text extraction. Images are noted in the output but not embedded. For PDFs with many images, you may need to manually add image references to your Markdown file.
Can it handle scanned PDFs?
This tool works best with text-based PDFs. Scanned PDFs (which are essentially images) require OCR (Optical Character Recognition) first. For scanned documents, consider using an OCR tool before converting to Markdown.
What PDF features are preserved?
The converter preserves headers (detected by font size), paragraphs, bullet lists, numbered lists, and basic text formatting. Tables are converted to simple text representation. Complex formatting like columns may need manual adjustment.
