Preview-first approval
The preview is the working surface, so the PDF export starts from a layout someone already approved.
Draft2Doc Markdown to PDF
Convert Markdown to a clean PDF without losing the layout.
Draft2Doc is built for the moment a markdown document has to become a presentable PDF. Open the file, approve the preview, choose the export settings, and download the version you can actually send.

Real export controls
Margins, spacing presets, headers, footers, and page numbers affect the exported PDF, not just the UI chrome.
Stress-tested documents
Wide tables, long code blocks, quotes, and nested lists are part of the ugly-doc regression pack.
Workflow
The workflow stays short on purpose.
The point is not to create another complex markdown app. The point is to get from raw markdown to a trustworthy document with as little friction as possible.
Upload or drag in Markdown
Open a `.md` file quickly or start with one of the built-in trust samples.
Approve the visual rhythm
Tune spacing, margins, and style until the preview feels ready for delivery.
Export the PDF
Download a cleaner PDF path that is optimized for readability, printing, and final share-out.
Supported cases
Built around the documents that usually break export trust.
Wide tables
Long rows and dense columns are part of the core regression pack so PDF, Word, Pages, and Google Docs stay part of the test story.
Long code blocks
Dark code surfaces, grouped spacing, and export-aware wrapping are treated as first-class output, not as a decorative preview trick.
Mermaid diagrams
Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and Gantt charts render to clean SVG inside the preview and carry through into PDF export automatically.
LaTeX math equations
Inline $...$ and block $$...$$ equations render with KaTeX so research notes, engineering specs, and data science docs display correctly.
FAQ
What matters most for this workflow.
Is this just a print stylesheet wrapped in a button?
No. The PDF path uses export settings, paper size controls, preview-aware styling, and a dedicated render pass so the result feels closer to the approved document.
What kinds of markdown docs is this best for?
Briefs, specs, reviews, summaries, and handoff documents where typography, headings, code blocks, and tables need to stay readable.
Can I choose paper size and page details?
Yes. A4, Letter, Legal, A5, and Executive are supported, along with margin presets, spacing presets, optional headers, footers, and page numbers.
