Which PDF files can ReadMD convert?
ReadMD accepts PDF sources in its converter. Text-based documents usually map more directly to Markdown; scanned pages should follow the qualified local OCR workflow on supported platforms.
Turn PDFs into editable Markdown.
Text-based reports, papers, manuals, and scanned pages can move into Markdown locally. ReadMD keeps the source on your device while preserving the structures you can reuse.
Local PDF conversion workflow
Keep the PDF local
Put the source PDF on your device and decide whether it is text-based or scanned.
Import the file
Add the PDF to ReadMD. Batch import is available when several documents need the same review pass.
Convert to Markdown
Run the converter and open the result beside the original PDF.
Review before saving
Check headings, lists, tables, reading order, formulas, captions, and image references before editing or publishing.
PDF conversion questions
Does PDF conversion upload my document?
No. Local PDF conversion is designed to run without a cloud account or a browser upload form.
What Markdown structure is preserved?
The converter aims to preserve headings, lists, tables, quotations, math, and image references where the PDF provides recoverable structure.
Will every scanned PDF convert perfectly?
No. OCR quality depends on scan clarity, language, fonts, and layout complexity. Review names, numbers, tables, captions, and reading order before saving.
