PDF to Markdown: how it works
PDF Care reads the existing PDF text layer with PDF.js, reconstructs reading-order lines from text coordinates, then infers headings, paragraphs, lists and page boundaries. It does not upload the PDF or claim OCR for image-only scans.

Questions about PDF to Markdown
Are files uploaded when I use PDF to Markdown?
No. PDF Care processes this tool locally in your browser, so the document contents are not uploaded to a PDF Care application server.
Does PDF to Markdown use OCR?
No. It converts an existing selectable PDF text layer. Image-only scanned PDFs need OCR before Markdown conversion.
What PDF formatting is preserved?
PDF Care infers common headings, paragraphs, bullet or numbered lists and page boundaries from text positions and font sizes. Complex multi-column layouts and tables may need manual cleanup.
Can I convert only selected PDF pages?
Yes. Enter page numbers or ranges, or leave the page field empty to convert the whole PDF.
