Common scenarios for exporting documents to Markdown.

Export PDF to Markdown

Convert a PDF into clean Markdown in just a few lines of code. By default, images are embedded in the output file.

// Import the namespace using GroupDocs.Markdown; // Set the license (optional) License.Set("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic"); // Instantiate the converter var converter = new MarkdownConverter("business-plan.pdf"); // Convert and save output to file converter.Convert("business-plan.md");

Save images to a folder

This example shows how to convert a DOCX file to Markdown while saving images to a separate folder.

// Import the namespace using GroupDocs.Markdown; // Set the license (optional) License.Set("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic"); // Instantiate the converter var converter = new MarkdownConverter("annual-report.docx"); // Set image export strategy and output folder var convertOptions = new DocumentConverterOptions(); convertOptions.ImageExportStrategy = new ExportImagesToFileSystemStrategy("./images"); // Convert and save output to file converter.Convert("annual-report.md", convertOptions);
