How do I convert MD to PDF for sharing / printing?
+
Upload the MD file and the converter renders it onto PDF pages with sensible defaults: A4 / letter size, 1-inch margins, embedded fonts. Multi-page sources (DOCX, EPUB, XLSX) preserve page breaks; single-asset sources (images) get one page each.
Will the MD to PDF conversion keep my fonts / formatting?
+
Yes for text-bearing MD (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT) — fonts are embedded into the PDF so the output looks identical on every viewer. Image-only MD (JPG, PNG) just centers the image on the page; layout is N/A.
Can I merge multiple MD files into one PDF?
+
Yes — drop multiple MD files into the upload zone and choose the "merge into one PDF" option. They appear as sequential pages in the PDF in upload order; drag-to-reorder is supported before conversion.
What page size and orientation will the PDF use?
+
Defaults: A4 portrait (international) or letter portrait (US). The advanced options expose page-size (A3, A4, A5, letter, legal, tabloid, custom) and orientation (portrait / landscape). For image MD, "auto-fit" picks orientation to match the source aspect ratio.
Will hyperlinks in my MD survive the PDF conversion?
+
Yes for MD formats that have real hyperlink metadata (DOCX, ODT, HTML, EPUB). Image-based MD (JPG, PNG, TIFF, etc.) have no hyperlinks to preserve. The PDF file uses the same `<a>`-style anchor model so links work in every PDF reader.
Is the PDF searchable (selectable text)?
+
Yes when the MD contains real text (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT, EPUB). Image-based MD produces an image-only PDF — to make it searchable, use /pdf-ocr/ after conversion to run optical character recognition.
Can I password-protect the PDF after conversion?
+
Not in this tool — convert MD to PDF first, then use the /pdf-* tools to add a password, watermark, or restrict editing.
How big will the PDF file be?
+
Depends on the MD. A 10-page DOCX with embedded fonts produces a 200-400 KB PDF. A 10-image JPG batch at full resolution produces a 5-20 MB PDF. The advanced options expose a "compress images in PDF" toggle that recompresses embedded images at JPG quality-85.
Is my MD file private during PDF conversion?
+
Yes — same model: isolated workers, automatic deletion within minutes, no human review.
Will the PDF pass print-shop preflight (300 DPI, CMYK)?
+
Defaults are RGB / 72 DPI (screen-optimized). For commercial print, switch the advanced options to CMYK / 300 DPI and the converter re-renders text at print resolution and converts embedded images to CMYK colorspace.
Does the converter work with scanned MD images?
+
Yes — a scanned-page MD (JPG, PNG, TIFF) converts straight to PDF. If you need the PDF to be text-searchable, follow up with /pdf-ocr/ to run OCR over the scanned pages.
Can I convert MD to PDF and email it directly?
+
Not from the converter UI itself. After download, attach the PDF to your usual email client. The PDF file is portable and works with every modern PDF reader (Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, Edge).
