Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between PDF to Text and PDF to Markdown?
- PDF to Text extracts plain text without formatting. PDF to Markdown preserves document structure — headings, tables, lists, and code blocks — in clean Markdown format that renders beautifully on any platform.
- Does it preserve tables from my PDF?
- Yes — Formatted OCR mode detects and preserves tables as Markdown table syntax, keeping rows and columns intact.
- Can I use this for documentation?
- Absolutely. Developers and technical writers use PDF to Markdown to convert legacy documentation into Markdown for static site generators like Hugo, Next.js, or Docusaurus.
- How many credits does it cost?
- Formatted OCR costs 10 credits per page. This gives you fully structured Markdown with tables, headings, and formatting preserved.
