Installation

To install the package, check the System Requirements and Installation documentation topics for platform-specific instructions.

Use cases

Here are some typical use cases:

Convert document to Markdown

This example shows how to convert a DOCX file to Markdown format.

import com.groupdocs.markdown.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Set the license (optional)
        License.setLicense("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic");

        // Instantiate the converter
        MarkdownConverter converter = new MarkdownConverter("sample.docx");
        
        // Convert and save output to file with embedded images
        converter.convertToFile("result.md");
    }
}

The output result.md file contains the converted Markdown content with images embedded by default.

Convert with custom image handling

import com.groupdocs.markdown.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Set the license (optional)
        License.setLicense("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic");
        
        // Instantiate converter
        MarkdownConverter converter = new MarkdownConverter("sample.docx");

        // Set the image export strategy
        DocumentConverterOptions converterOptions = new DocumentConverterOptions();
        converterOptions.setImageExportStrategy(new ExportImagesToFileSystemStrategy("images"));

        // Convert and save output to file with images saved to `images` folder
        converter.convertToFile("reslt.md", converterOptions);
    }
}

This code example converts a DOCX file to Markdown and exports images separately instead of embedding them.

Convert multiple documents

This code example shows how to convert multiple documents to Markdown format.

import com.groupdocs.markdown.*;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Set the license (optional)
        License.setLicense("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic");
        
        // List of documents to convert
        String[] documents = {"sample.pdf", "sample.docx", "sample.xlsx"};
        
        for (String document : documents) {
            try (MarkdownConverter converter = new MarkdownConverter(document)) {
                DocumentConverterResult result = converter.convert();
                
                if (result.isSuccess()) {
                    // Save the converted Markdown content to file
                    String outputFile = document + ".md";
                    Files.write(Paths.get(outputFile), result.getContent().getBytes());
                    System.out.println("Converted: " + document + " -> " + outputFile);
                } else {
                    // Handle the conversion error
                    System.err.println("Conversion failed for " + document + ": " + result.getErrorMessage());
                    if (result.getException() != null) {
                        result.getException().printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This example converts multiple documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX) to Markdown format, creating separate output files for each.
