How to use Markdown to PDF

  1. Paste the supported Markdown and check its block structure.
  2. Choose paper size and text size, then create the PDF.
  3. Reopen the file and review headings, code wrapping and table content before printing.

Example: Markdown to PDF

Print a small notes document.

You add
Markdown: # Notes A short paragraph. - First item - Second item. Page size: A4; text size: 11 pt.
You get
The PDF includes Notes as a heading, A short paragraph. as body text and both list items in order.

Options

Markdown source
Use the supported headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, fenced code and simple pipe tables. Raw HTML is printed as text; image references become placeholders without loading their URLs.
PDF page size and text size
A4 and US Letter change page dimensions. Text size is 8–18 points and affects wrapping and pagination; compare a printed page before creating a large packet.

Supported inputs and limits

A documented Markdown subset, up to 100,000 characters and 2,000 blocks. Raw HTML stays text and external images are not fetched. PDF font character support is limited and unsupported characters are refused. This is not full CommonMark or webpage rendering.

A typeset subset rather than a webpage printout

The PDF is composed from supported Markdown blocks. It does not run HTML, styles or scripts. Link labels remain readable without active PDF link actions, and remote images are not included. If source layout depends on a browser, compare that requirement with this deliberately simpler output.

Characters and long lines can stop export

Standard PDF fonts support Latin text and selected punctuation. Unsupported characters are refused instead of silently disappearing. Long code lines, tables and paragraphs can wrap differently from the source editor, so open the actual PDF and check breaks and column content.

Questions about Markdown to PDF

Will a remote Markdown image be fetched?

No. External images remain unfetched.

Does this render HTML embedded in Markdown?

Raw HTML is treated as text rather than executable markup.

Why can some characters be refused?

The PDF fonts support a defined character set. Refusal prevents a silent missing-glyph export.
