Why Markdown is the right target
Markdown is future-proof plain text that every notes app, wiki and dev tool understands. Converting a PDF report or paper into MD makes it quotable, versionable in git, and editable anywhere — no proprietary format lock-in.
What the conversion preserves
Headings become #-prefixed levels, bullet and numbered lists convert to list syntax, and paragraph structure is kept. Complex tables and multi-column layouts simplify — Markdown is deliberately minimal.
For scans, OCR first
Scanned pages have no text layer to convert. Run free OCR, then convert the recognized text to Markdown. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically — there is no general cloud storage.
