Options after selecting a fileFrequently asked questions
The details, when you need them.
Are PDF tables converted to Markdown tables?
No. For tabular data, try PDF to CSV or PDF to Excel.
Are images included?
No. Use Extract PDF images to recover supported embedded pictures separately.
Start a reusable text draft
The converter adds a heading for each source page and retains extracted lines. It does not infer every heading, list or table from the original design. Markdown punctuation in extracted text is escaped to reduce unintended formatting. You can then organize the draft into meaningful sections in your editor.
Review text from scans and columns
Scans require OCR before this tool can find text. Multi-column documents may need their paragraphs reordered after extraction. Images and mathematical layout are not recreated. Keep the original PDF nearby when checking figures, footnotes and page-specific references.
Structure requires manual editing
Automatic extraction does not infer a complete hierarchy of headings, lists or tables. Scanned pages need OCR first.
Tables appear as disconnected lines
The converter extracts text and does not reconstruct semantic Markdown tables. Rebuild tables manually and compare each cell against the PDF.
