MD to PDF Conversion FAQ

How do I convert a MD document to PDF?

Drop your MD into the upload box. PDF.to renders the document, preserves layout and fonts as accurately as possible, and gives you a PDF download. MD is Markdown, John Gruber’s 2004 plain-text syntax for writing structured documents that stay readable as source.

Will fonts and formatting in my MD survive the PDF conversion?

Yes for standard fonts. Where your MD uses an exotic or licensed font, we substitute the closest visually matching system font. Layout, line breaks, headers, and tables are preserved.

Are tables, headers, and footers in my MD preserved in the PDF?

Yes — page numbers, running headers, footers, footnotes, table-of-contents, and embedded tables all carry over.

Does the PDF I get embed images from the MD at full resolution?

Yes. Embedded images are kept at their original resolution. Vector elements (charts, shapes) remain vector inside the PDF.

Will my PDF be searchable and have selectable text?

Yes. The text layer from your MD is carried through, so the resulting PDF is fully searchable and you can copy text from it directly.

Can I include comments and tracked changes from my MD in the PDF?

Comments and tracked changes are flattened into visible annotations by default. To omit them, accept all changes in your MD before converting, or use the 'strip comments' option.

Does the PDF converter support multi-section MD files?

Yes — different sections, page sizes, and orientations from your MD are preserved as separate sections in the resulting PDF.

Can I convert MD to PDF on my phone?

Yes. The interface is mobile-responsive and PDF generation runs server-side, so even a low-end phone can produce a high-quality PDF from a MD.

Is the MD to PDF converter free?

Yes, within the free size limit. PRO accounts unlock larger files and batch jobs.

Will hyperlinks in my MD stay clickable in the PDF?

Yes. Both internal cross-references and external URLs are preserved as live links in the resulting PDF.

How accurate is the MD to PDF layout compared to the original?

Very accurate — we use a high-fidelity rendering engine, not a screenshot. Page breaks, spacing, and even subtle font hinting match the original MD closely.

Does PDF.to read my MD content?

No. Conversion runs on a worker that has no human-readable logging of file contents. Both MD and PDF are deleted within an hour.

MD

MD is the usual extension for Markdown, plain text marked up with simple punctuation instead of tags.

PDF

PDF files preserve formatting across all devices and operating systems, making them ideal for sharing documents that need to look the same everywhere.
