MDF files are typically in a database format, not Markdown. Please export your data to Markdown or text format first, then use our tool to convert it to PDF.
3: Does PDF support Markdown?
PDF itself does not support Markdown syntax. When using this tool to convert a Markdown document, it will be rendered as a well-formatted PDF document, preserving formatting like headings, lists, tables, and code blocks. However, the PDF will display the formatted content, not the original Markdown syntax.

Yes, tools like Pandoc or Markdown-pdf can be used from the command line. However, our online tool requires no installation or configuration, making it ideal for quick use.
6: Can I display images in PDFs?
Currently, Markdown images are not supported for security reasons, avoiding the need to load external resources. Text content is converted intact.

No. All modern browsers are supported and can be used on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.
