PDF to MD Conversion FAQ
What about a password-protected PDF?
+
Use the Unlock PDF tool first (you need to know the password). Once unlocked, the MD conversion runs normally.
Is the PDF to MD 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 MD 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 MD layout slightly different from the original PDF?
+
MD is a flowing-text format; PDF is a fixed-page format. Some absolute positioning becomes paragraph flow during conversion, which is normal and editable.
