A practical guide

Move instruction text into a page-aware draft.

  1. Choose a PDF with selectable text.
  2. Export Markdown and inspect each page heading and literal text block.
  3. Copy the sections you need and compare them with the PDF before editing.

Try this example

Export a searchable two-page setup guide to Markdown. Confirm both page headings appear and that the command examples stay literal inside code blocks.

Before

  • PDF: Hello

After

  • Page heading + literal text block
Input and expected output for this task. Illustrative example.

Example .md file

## Page 1

    Hello from the PDF.

Selectable source text: Hello from the PDF.

Before you start: Markdown is not inferred from the visual layout: headings, tables and scanned words are not reconstructed.

Continue with the source PDF
What you get

Export embedded text as literal Markdown code blocks grouped by page. No reconstruction of headings, tables, images or original layout. Empty-text pages are labelled; no OCR. Limits: 10 MB input, 200 pages, 4 MB output.

Limits and important details

Local limits: Max single file: 10 MB / Max pages: 200

Maximum 10 MB input, 200 pages and 4 MB text output. Scanned documents without a text layer report an error instead of a fake successful extraction. Reading order, columns and fonts may not match visual layout. This is not OCR or PDF-to-Word.

Example

Export selectable report text to .md. Page headings are generated; the PDF text stays literal inside code blocks rather than becoming executable HTML or inferred tables. Review reading order before reuse.
