PDF to Markdown Conversion FAQ
What about a password-protected PDF?
+
Use the Unlock PDF tool first (you need to know the password). Once unlocked, the Markdown conversion runs normally.
Is the PDF to Markdown converter free?
+
Yes. One conversion an hour is free, with no account needed, for a file within the free size limit. A paid plan removes the hourly limit and the size limit, and lets you add several files to one job.
Does PDF.to keep a copy of my PDF?
+
Only for a short time. Your uploaded PDF and the resulting Markdown are deleted from our servers automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. Nobody reads the contents, and nothing is shared.
Why is my Markdown layout slightly different from the original PDF?
+
Markdown is a flowing-text format; PDF is a fixed-page format. Some absolute positioning becomes paragraph flow during conversion, which is normal and editable.
