How to convert selectable PDF text to Markdown privately

A practical example
A research report can be converted to Markdown before pasting selected sections into an LLM. This gives you cleaner text than repeatedly copying individual PDF pages.
Common questions
Why use Markdown instead of plain text?
Markdown keeps lightweight structure such as headings and paragraphs, which can make extracted content easier to read and reuse.
Can I use the output with ChatGPT or other LLMs?
Yes. Review the extracted content first, then use the sections you need with the AI service of your choice.
Is the PDF uploaded for conversion?
The PDF-to-Markdown extraction workflow runs locally in your browser.
Will every PDF convert perfectly?
No. Complex layouts, scans, columns and unusual fonts can require manual review. OCR may help when the PDF contains scanned images instead of selectable text.
