Convert a Markdown document into a formatted PDF with proper headings, code blocks, lists, links, and tables. Useful for sharing notes and documentation.
A line-oriented Markdown subset is mapped onto ReportLab styles: # / ## / ### become headings, **bold** and *italic* become <b>/<i>, fenced or indented lines become Courier on a gray background, and --- becomes a rule. It is enough for a README or release notes. It is not a full CommonMark or GFM engine.
Basic Markdown — headings, bold, italic, code blocks, lists — renders correctly. GitHub-style pipe tables currently flatten to plain text. For table-heavy docs, use a local Markdown-to-PDF tool or Office → PDF.
A line starting with ``` or four spaces is drawn in Courier on gray. This is enough for short snippets. Nested fences and language tags are not highlighted.
Image references are not fetched. Add pictures afterwards with Images → PDF + Merge, or convert the Markdown locally if figures are load-bearing.
The server splits the file on newlines and classifies each line: # / ## / ###, ---, - or *, ``` / indent, or body. Body lines run a few regexes for **bold**, *italic*, and `code`. ReportLab then builds the PDF with 20 mm margins. There is no AST and no plugin pipeline.
No GFM tables, no footnotes, no task lists, no definition lists, no raw HTML pass-through. Those lines still appear, but as ordinary paragraphs. If you need a faithful README with a comparison table, this is the wrong engine.
Both tools write A4 with ReportLab. Markdown adds heading and code styles; Text → PDF does not. Neither fetches the network, and neither sends the file to xAI.
Headings (H1-H3), bold, italic, inline code, lines starting with ``` or four spaces, bullet lists (- or *), and --- rules.
No. Pipe tables are not parsed into a grid — they flatten to ordinary paragraphs. For table-heavy docs, convert locally or paste the table into Excel and use Office → PDF.
Yes — any standard .md or .markdown file. Headings, lists, and code fences are the parts that survive best.
No.  is not fetched and is not drawn. Image lines are skipped or printed as leftover text.
Yes — Markdown to PDF is completely free with no signup required.
