Tips & Best Practices
Review Complex Layouts
For PDFs with very complex layouts, like multi-column magazines, the linear nature of Markdown may require some manual cleanup after conversion for optimal formatting.
Use OCR for Scanned PDFs
If your PDF is a scan and the text is not selectable, use our "OCR" tool first. This will make the text recognizable and ensure a successful conversion to Markdown.
