What Works in PDF

Markdown2ANY preserves all your formatting in PDF output:

• Headings - All levels (H1-H6) with proper hierarchy

Tips for Best Results

Structure Your Document

Use a clear heading hierarchy. Start with one H1 for the title, then use H2 for main sections and H3 for subsections. This creates a professional, scannable document.

Preview First

Check your content with Markdown Preview before converting. Catching formatting issues early saves time.

Mind Your Code Blocks

Specify the language for syntax highlighting:

```python
def hello():
    print("Hello, World!")
```
