Export Markdown as Paginated PDF

A PDF export that belongs in a document workflow

Markdown is easy to maintain in a repository or notes folder, but many final documents need to be shared as PDFs. MDTranscode converts supported Markdown structure into paginated PDF output locally on Windows. PDF export was introduced in v1.0.7.0, which is already published in the Microsoft Store.

Page layout choices

• Use US Letter or A4 paper.
• Choose portrait or landscape pages for reports and wider tables.
• Configure page margins and optional headers or footers.
• Add page numbers and document bookmarks when appropriate.

Preview your Markdown before exporting. Check page breaks, long code blocks and wide tables in the finished PDF before distribution; pagination can differ from a DOCX opened in Microsoft Word.

Convert a Markdown report to PDF

1. Save the source as a .md or .markdown file.
2. Open it in the Windows desktop app and review the preview.
3. Choose PDF export, select the desired page settings and save a new PDF.
4. Inspect headings, hyperlinks, tables and page numbering in your PDF reader.

Does PDF export need Word or Pandoc?

No. Normal MDTranscode PDF conversion does not require Microsoft Word, Pandoc or an online conversion service.
