Structured PDF to Markdown
Paragraph reflow for hyphenated breaks, suppressed arXiv/DOI false headings, optional page breaks for research PDFs, and an RAG/embedding-safe mode—all in-browser. Prefer the simpler PDF to Markdown for quick exports.
How It Works
Step 1: Choose a Typography Profile
Developer (clean prose), Academic (preserve `---` between pages like audit logs), or RAG/Embeddings (collapse short PDF lines).
Step 2: Run Local Typography Pass
Join hyphen-split words, flatten bogus arXiv/DOI headings, dedupe repetitive page banners, bold figure/table captions where detected.
Step 3: Export Markdown + API parity
Copy to Obsidian/Git or point automated jobs at POST /api/v1/pdf-structured-markdown — same presets as this page.
Why Use This Tool
- Feeds LLM chunkers tighter paragraphs with fewer dangling hyphen shards
- Safer archival for research decks & legal PDF bundles that repeat running headers page-to-page
- Matches Bing/Google intent for structured PDF Markdown + API tooling keywords
- Pairs cleanly with OCR PDF flows when the selectable text layer fails
Common Use Cases
Ship Markdown release notes sourced from OEM PDF bundles, hydrate internal RAG with conference papers offline, hydrate developer portals from vendor PDF snapshots, normalize legal exhibits before hashing them across environments.
