About Markdown to PDF
PDFs are the most common Markdown export target for shareable documents. Three quirks shape the conversion: page-break handling — Markdown has no native page break, so long tables and code blocks can span pages awkwardly without intentional `<div style="page-break-before: always">` markers; embedded fonts — PDFs that render code in monospace require the font to be subset and embedded, otherwise viewers substitute and code blocks shift; and vector vs raster output — Mermaid diagrams render best as SVG-derived vectors so they stay sharp at any zoom. For technical docs, themed PDF output preserves heading hierarchy, fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, and GFM tables with column alignment.
PDF-specific workflow
- Draft your Markdown with intentional section breaks at major headings.
- Pick a theme that matches the document purpose — Academic for papers, Resume for CVs, GitHub for developer docs.
- Preview pagination before export; insert manual page breaks before wide tables or full-page diagrams.
- Download and verify code-block fonts render correctly in your viewer (Acrobat, Preview, Chrome).
PDF workflow scenarios
- Share PDF output with teams that do not edit Markdown directly.
- Archive finalized documents as PDF for handoff and record keeping.
- Reuse the same Markdown source for iterative editing and PDF distribution.
