PDF to Markdown FAQ

Can it convert scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs need OCR first. Image-only PDFs may return little or no text.

Will PDF tables be preserved?

Simple tables may convert, but complex table and multi-column layouts should be checked manually.

Is it suitable for academic PDFs?

It can help if the text is selectable; formulas, footnotes, and references need extra review.
