Frequently asked questions
Does the PDF to Markdown converter handle scanned PDFs?
No. tinyMD extracts text from native (text-based) PDFs only. Scanned PDFs that contain images of text require OCR processing, which is not included.
Can the converter extract tables from PDFs into Markdown table syntax?
Simple tables with clear column alignment are extracted as GFM pipe tables. Complex tables with merged cells or irregular layouts may need manual cleanup.
What types of PDFs work best with this converter?
Text-heavy PDFs work best: academic papers, articles, reports, and meeting notes. PDFs with complex multi-column layouts or heavy image content produce less reliable output.
