Convert a PDF to Markdown

Markdown is plain text with light formatting, so it's easy to edit, version and paste into other tools.

1. Convert

Choose a PDF that contains real text. Headings, lists and simple tables are kept as Markdown.

2. Review

Complex layouts and multi-column pages may need small fixes.

3. Just need the words?

PDF to text gives plain text in reading order, with no formatting.
