Common Questions Answered

Quick help
Q1 How does the tool distinguish headings from regular paragraphs?
The converter analyzes relative font sizes, line weights, and spacing properties to convert layout titles to markdown headers.
Q2 Are PDF tables preserved in the Markdown output?
Yes, relational table grids are translated into formatted markdown table rows with dashed columns and alignment brackets.
Q3 Are image layers in the PDF extracted?
Since Markdown is a text-only representation, image objects are skipped or noted with standard markdown image links.
Q4 Can I copy the Markdown output to my clipboard directly?
Yes! The editor includes a quick-copy button next to the live preview panel for pasting markup instantly.
Q5 Does this conversion tool send my documents to remote servers?
No. All extraction logic and compilation layouts run offline inside your browser sandbox. Your data remains on your machine.
