PDF to Markdown: uses and text-layer limits
Markdown organizes content as editable text for knowledge bases, content migration and later translation. This tool reads the PDF text layer and exports image resources.
No OCR is performed; scanned PDFs may not yield usable text.
Capabilities explained
Editable structure versus original layout
Headings, paragraphs and reading order are inferred from parsing. Complex columns, tables and unusual layouts may need manual cleanup; the output is not an exact layout replica.
Archive Markdown together with its images
A ZIP can bundle Markdown with image resources. Preserve the image directory and relative paths during migration to avoid broken references.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will tables be preserved accurately?
No. The current version focuses on editable text output; tables will be processed with degraded row-by-row handling.
Why does the ZIP file include an images folder besides the Markdown?
The tool packages extracted images together with document.md, making it convenient for you to continue using these references locally.
Why is a readable PDF converted with almost no text?
Pages may consist mainly of scanned images or have an unreadable text layer. This tool does not perform OCR; first use an appropriate OCR tool to create an extractable text layer.
