Frequently Asked Questions

Does the tool work with scanned PDFs?

If the PDF contains images only, optical character recognition may be required to extract the text before converting it into Markdown.

Will the original formatting be preserved completely?

Markdown cannot represent every PDF design element. The tool preserves supported text structure where possible, but the result may require review.

Can tables and links be converted?

Elements that the tool can detect and support may be converted. Results vary depending on the document structure and complexity.

Will the original PDF be modified?

No. The tool reads the document and creates new Markdown output without changing the original PDF.
