What changes when you convert Markdown to PDF?
PDF is designed to hold a stable page layout. Content from Markdown is arranged for viewing and printing, but the result is not meant to behave like the editable source.
- The source and target formats are fixed by this page, and one file is processed at a time.
- Open the finished PDF file and check fine details, layout and compatibility in the app where you plan to use it.

Markdown opens in any text editor, and renders formatted in editors like VS Code, Obsidian or on GitHub.
