Frequently asked questions

Does it keep headings and lists?

Yes. Headings are detected from font size and weight, and bullet and numbered lists become Markdown lists.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs are images without a text layer, so they need OCR first.

Why convert PDF to Markdown for AI?

Markdown is compact and keeps document structure, so chatbots and RAG pipelines understand it better than raw PDF text.
