Troubleshooting
Common PDF to Markdown Problems
Why did the formatting change?
Source formats and destination formats represent fonts, spacing, tables and page geometry differently. Complex layouts can require manual review.
Why are fonts different?
If an embedded or source font is unavailable, the destination application may substitute another font and change line breaks.
Can scanned files be converted?
Image-only pages often need OCR before their text can become searchable or editable. Review recognized names, numbers and tables.
Why does the output look different?
Conversion reconstructs content rather than preserving every source instruction. Check page size, images, links and structure in the destination application.
