Convert MD to PDF
What is MD?
MD
Markdown is a lightweight markup language using plain text with simple syntax for formatting. Created by John Gruber in 2004. Uses characters like # (headers), ** (bold), * (lists) for structure. Human-readable in plain text form. Converts easily to HTML, PDF, or DOCX. Multiple flavors exist (CommonMark, GitHub Flavored, MultiMarkdown). Extremely portable and version-control friendly. Maximum size limited by text editor.
- MD stores editable documents with text, formatting, and embedded content
- Editable content converts to fixed PDF layout, preventing further editing
What is PDF?
PDF (Portable Document Format) preserves exact document layout independently of software or hardware. Based on PostScript, it stores text with embedded fonts (Type 1, TrueType, OpenType), vector graphics, and raster images. Supports encryption, digital signatures, form fields, and annotations. Standardized as ISO 32000. Maximum practical size exceeds 10GB with millions of pages possible.
- PDF stores fixed-layout documents with text, formatting, and embedded content
- Fixed layout extracts to editable MD format (OCR may be required)
- Read-only format—text extraction required for editing
