Release notes, SDK guides, and internal runbooks belong in version control. PDF to Markdown exports headings and bullet lists so you can commit docs next to source and review changes in pull requests.
Scanned manuals need OCR path
Photo-scanned datasheets lack a text layer. Enable Advanced OCR in options or run OCR PDF first, then convert. Digital PDFs with selectable text export fastest.
Clean up tables and code blocks
Complex tables may need a quick pass in your editor — merge cells rarely survive automatic conversion. Split oversized exports with Split PDF when the manual is 200+ pages.
Publish and archive
Commit the .md file, link from README, and archive the original PDF with Protect PDF if it contains licensed material. Guide: how to convert PDF to Markdown.
