Good to know
- Version history, with a free account. Keep a version whenever you like, compare any two and bring an old one back. The history is private to your account. Download with history saves it as one .mdh file, up to 32 MB; a .md file or a PDF carries only the current text.
- Without an account, a note stays in this tab until you close it, so download it to keep it.
- Latin letters only. The PDF’s fonts cover Latin alphabets; other letters, such as Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic or Chinese, show as �, and you’re told how many.
- Already have a .md file? Markdown to PDF makes it a PDF in one step, and there are 48 single-purpose tools at pdfeditor.page/tools.
- The other way round, PDF to Markdown turns a PDF’s text into a .md file.
- StackEdit and Dillinger are trademarks of their owners; pdfeditor.page is not affiliated with either.
