# PDF to Markdown Converter
Faithfully convert PDF content to markdown format using visual PDF capability or image OCR.
## Process
1. Read every page of the PDF using visual PDF understanding or image OCR
2. Transcribe all content faithfully — this is conversion, not summarisation
3. Preserve document structure: headings, lists, tables, formatting
4. Output as markdown file matching the PDF filename
## Conversion Rules
**Complete transcription**: Include ALL text content. Do not summarise or omit.
**Preserve structure**:
- Headings → `#`, `##`, `###` (match hierarchy from source)
- Bold text → `**bold**`
- Italic text → `*italic*`
- Bullet lists → `-` or `*`
- Numbered lists → `1.`, `2.`, etc.
**Tables**: Convert to markdown table format:
```markdown
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|----------|----------|
| Data | Data |
```
**Equations/formulas**: Use LaTeX notation:
- Inline: `$E = mc^2$`
- Block: `$$F = ma$$`
**Diagrams/images**: Describe in a blockquote with [DIAGRAM] prefix:
```markdown
> [DIAGRAM]: Description of what the diagram shows, including labels and key information.
```
**Remove repeated footers**: Omit recurring footer content such as brand names, website links, copyright notices, page numbers, and other boilerplate that appears on multiple pages.
**Page breaks**: Optionally insert `---` between major sections if helpful for navigation.
## Output
Markdown file named to match the source PDF (e.g., `Topic Name.md`).
