Usage

Common scenarios for exporting documents to Markdown.

Export PDF to Markdown

Convert a PDF into clean Markdown in just a few lines of code. By default, images are embedded in the output file.

import com.groupdocs.markdown.MarkdownConverter;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Set the license (optional)
        License.setLicense("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic");
        // Instantiate the converte
        MarkdownConverter converter = new MarkdownConverter("sample.docx");
        // Convert and save output to file
        converter.convertToFile("result.md");
    }
}

Save images to a folder

This example shows how to convert a DOCX file to Markdown while saving images to a separate folder.

import com.groupdocs.markdown.MarkdownConverter;


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

        // Set image export strategy and output folder
        DocumentConverterOptions convertOptions = new DocumentConverterOptions();
        convertOptions.setImageExportStrategy(new ExportImagesToFileSystemStrategy("./images"));
        // Convert and save output to file
        converter.convert("annual-report.md", convertOptions);
