Description

I built this because I often need clean Markdown from PDFs for writing, documentation, and LLM workflows.Most existing tools either flatten everything into text or rely purely on OCR. I wanted something that preserves structure and is actually usable in Markdown.Feedback welcome.

Could you build this?

Yes High-accuracy PDF-to-Markdown conversion that handles tables and images can be built by orchestrating off-the-shelf vision LLMs (like GPT-4o) or open-source document layout engines (Marker, Nougat, MinerU).
