Upload or paste the report
Choose an MD, Markdown or TXT source, or paste your report into the workspace. Write meaningful headings, complete pipe-table rows and fenced code examples so the PDF begins with a clear, reviewable document structure.

How to use Markdown to PDF
Review the print-ready document
Inspect the live Markdown editor, GFM table preview and LLM token count, then choose a visual theme. Check long identifiers and narrow numeric columns before printing, because a readable editor view still needs a sensible page layout.
Choose local print or server export
Use Save / Print Vector PDF for the browser’s print dialog, turning off Headers and footers and using 100% scale. Alternatively, download a PDF through the temporary server, whose conversion files are deleted after the job.
Formatting fidelity, explained
Vector printing keeps text searchable and selectable instead of turning each page into a screenshot. This makes a report more useful for readers who need to copy a quote, search for an identifier or inspect figures at a higher zoom level.
GitHub Clean, Modern Business and Academic Serif offer different reading styles for the same source. Theme selection changes typography and spacing while leaving the underlying Markdown wording available for review, so you can choose a presentation that suits the audience without rewriting content.
Print styling encourages headings to remain with the material they introduce and discourages unnecessary splits inside manageable table rows. These are layout preferences rather than a promise that an oversized block can fit on a page without wrapping or continuation.
Wide tables and long filenames need particular attention in a paginated document. The preview helps expose awkward wrapping early, while source edits such as shorter labels or an explanatory note can produce a clearer result than shrinking the entire report to unreadable text.
A reliable PDF workflow separates content review from page review. First verify that the Markdown says what you intend, including units, qualifications and references. Then inspect the generated pages for a stranded heading, an overlong table or a caption separated from its subject. Retain the editable source for future corrections: changing a PDF directly is less convenient than fixing the Markdown and producing a fresh, consistently styled version of the report.
Local printing is convenient when you want the browser to handle the final file, while the server option provides a direct download without going through your device’s print dialog. Both begin with the reviewed text, but fonts and print settings can change the number of pages. For an important handoff, check the actual file you will distribute rather than assuming two separately produced PDFs must have identical page breaks or line lengths.
Frequently asked questions
How do print rules keep a heading with its paragraph?
Print styles use break-after: avoid on headings to discourage a page break immediately after a section title. A break-inside: avoid rule asks the browser to keep suitable blocks, such as an ordinary table row, together when space permits. The print engine must still split or move content that cannot fit, so inspect page boundaries rather than treating those CSS preferences as absolute guarantees.
Which export theme is suitable for a business report?
Choose GitHub Clean for concise technical notes and familiar documentation spacing, Modern Business for a polished executive report, or Academic Serif for longer prose where a serif reading style feels appropriate. All three start from the same Markdown content. Compare the preview with your intended audience, then inspect a few final pages; the best-looking theme is the one that keeps your actual tables and paragraphs comfortable to read.
Can an oversized table row always stay on one page?
An oversized row cannot always remain on a single page. Its text needs to wrap, and a print engine may continue the row when the content is taller than the available area despite rules that prefer keeping rows together. Reduce an excessively long cell, divide the information into separate records or move detailed commentary below the table, then check that the continuation remains understandable.
Why might browser and server PDF pagination differ?
Browser printing uses your local browser, available fonts, paper selection, margins and scale settings; the temporary server uses its own controlled export environment. Those differences can alter wrapping and page breaks even when the wording and chosen theme match. For local output, turn off Headers and footers and use 100% scale, then review the finished PDF rather than comparing page counts alone.
