How do I convert Markdown to PDF for sharing and printing?
+
Upload the Markdown file and the converter renders it onto PDF pages with sensible defaults: A4 / letter size, 1-inch margins, embedded fonts. Multi-page sources (DOCX, EPUB, XLSX) preserve page breaks; single-asset sources (images) get one page each.
Will the Markdown to PDF conversion keep my fonts and formatting?
+
Yes for text-bearing Markdown (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT) — fonts are embedded into the PDF so the output looks identical on every viewer. Image-only Markdown (JPG, PNG) is centered on the page; text-layout is N/A there.
Can I merge multiple Markdown files into one PDF?
+
Yes — drop multiple Markdown files into the upload zone and choose the "merge into one PDF" option. They appear as sequential pages in the PDF in upload order; drag-to-reorder is supported before conversion runs.
What page size and orientation will the PDF use?
+
Defaults: A4 portrait (international) or letter portrait (US). The advanced options expose page-size (A3, A4, A5, letter, legal, tabloid, custom) and orientation (portrait / landscape). For image Markdown, "auto-fit" picks orientation to match the source aspect ratio.
Will hyperlinks in my Markdown survive the PDF conversion?
+
Yes for Markdown formats that carry real hyperlink metadata (DOCX, ODT, HTML, EPUB). Image Markdown (JPG, PNG, TIFF) has no link metadata to preserve. The PDF uses standard PDF anchor syntax so links work in every modern PDF reader.
Is the resulting PDF searchable with real selectable text?
+
Yes when the Markdown contains real text (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT, EPUB). Image-based Markdown produces an image-only PDF; run /pdf-ocr/ afterward to make it text-searchable via optical character recognition.
Can I password-protect the PDF after conversion?
+
Not in this tool directly — convert Markdown to PDF first, then use the /pdf-* tools to add a password, watermark, or restrict editing / printing permissions on the output.
How big will the PDF file be?
+
Depends on the Markdown content. A 10-page DOCX with embedded fonts produces a 200-400 KB PDF. A 10-image JPG batch at full resolution produces a 5-20 MB PDF. The advanced "compress images in PDF" toggle recompresses embedded images at JPG quality-85.
Is my Markdown file private during PDF conversion?
+
Yes — same privacy model as every conversion: isolated workers, automatic deletion within minutes, no human review of content, no training corpus.
Will the PDF pass print-shop preflight (300 DPI, CMYK)?
+
Defaults are RGB / 72 DPI (screen-optimized). For commercial print, switch the advanced options to CMYK / 300 DPI and the converter re-renders text at print resolution and converts embedded images to CMYK colorspace.
Does the converter handle scanned Markdown images?
+
Yes — a scanned-page Markdown (JPG, PNG, TIFF) converts straight to PDF. To make the resulting PDF text-searchable, follow up with /pdf-ocr/ to run OCR over the scanned pages and embed the recognized text layer.
Can I convert Markdown to PDF and email it directly?
+
Not from the converter UI itself. After download, attach the PDF to your usual email client. The PDF is portable and works with every modern PDF reader (Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, Edge, mobile readers).
