## Why developers convert Markdown to PDF

A developer converts a Markdown spec to a clean PDF for a stakeholder, extracts text from a vendor PDF to parse it, and archives the release notes as PDF/A.

**Built for technical docs.** Whether it's technical docs, specs, README files, Arthize's markdown to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Internal specs and unreleased docs are confidential; a private workspace keeps them off public converters.
