Summary
Markdown out to a PDF, and PDFs back to something you can edit.
Both directions sit in one server, with the layout question reduced to picking small, medium or large — enough to hand someone a readable document without opening a word processor.
What it is
A two-way converter between Markdown and PDF, run locally through pandoc. Conversion goes both directions and nothing leaves the machine.
What you get
- Markdown to PDF from content passed inline, or from a file already on disk
- Density presets instead of a stylesheet — pick how tight the type and margins should be on the conversion call
- A choice of PDF engine on the conversion call
- PDF back to Markdown, so a document you were sent becomes editable text
- Text lifted from the specific pages you name, and the PDF's own metadata read off the file
Requirements
Uv and Python, plus pandoc and weasyprint installed locally — the conversion runs through them. No account, no key and no upload: files are read and written on the machine running the server.
Setup effort
Build from source — clone the repository and build it, then point your client at the binary
