Notes on this conversion
A PDF has no concept of a heading. It records glyphs at coordinates, so the only signal that a line is a heading is that its type is larger than the body around it — and that is what the converter measures. Ruled tables are read cell by cell rather than flattened into prose, and embedded images are extracted and linked into an assets folder next to the Markdown. Page boundaries are marked, because a PDF page break often carries meaning the text alone does not. What cannot survive is appearance: fonts, colour and page geometry have no Markdown equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did a section title come out at the wrong level?
Heading levels are inferred by comparing type size against the body text. A document that uses size inconsistently, or that styles a caption larger than a subheading, will produce levels that need adjusting by hand.
Where do the images go?
Each embedded image is written into an assets folder beside the Markdown and referenced by a relative link. The Markdown file on its own will show broken images; keep the folder with it.
Can a scanned PDF be converted?
No. A scanned page is an image with no text layer, so there is nothing to read. A PDF that carries a text layer is required.
