Why convert

Why convert PDF to Markdown?

Markdown is plain text that keeps its structure: readable as-is, diffable in version control, and accepted by nearly every note-taking and documentation tool there is. It is the most useful shape for content you intend to keep working with.

  • A reference PDF needs to live in your notes app or wiki.
  • You are moving documentation out of PDFs and into a repository.
  • You want text you can version-control and diff meaningfully.
  • Content has to be reformatted for publishing without retyping it.
