PDF documents lose structure and reading order when fed into LLM pipelines
Developers building RAG pipelines and AI agents struggle to convert PDFs into clean, structured markdown that preserves tables, formulas, and reading order. Generic PDF extractors produce garbled output that degrades retrieval quality. The gap is a reliable, production-grade conversion layer that treats PDF structure as a first-class concern rather than an afterthought.

Markdown Editors Lack Native PDF Export with Diagram Support
Developers and students writing technical documentation in Markdown need to export polished PDFs with rendered diagrams without switching to separate tools. Most Markdown editors either lack PDF export or require external conversion pipelines, breaking the writing flow. A unified editor with built-in Mermaid support and instant PDF export addresses this friction.
