PDF to Markdown
AI tools, static-site generators, knowledge bases and developer documentation all want clean Markdown. PDFs don't fit — they're a print format, and copy-paste mangles structure.
Why this works
Our converter walks the PDF's logical structure and outputs clean Markdown: headings as `#`/`##`, lists as `-`/`1.`, code blocks fenced, tables as GFM tables, links preserved as `[text](url)`.

FAQ
Common questions
Are tables converted to GFM?
Yes — simple tables become GitHub-flavoured Markdown tables. Complex nested tables fall back to HTML.
Will images come through?
Images are extracted and referenced via relative paths in a sibling folder.
