What Markdown to PDF does

Convert Markdown files to polished PDFs while preserving all images, tables, code blocks, and table-of-contents links. Ideal for turning GitHub-flavored Markdown documents (READMEs, reports, notes) into PDF deliverables.

Markdown to PDF is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Markdown to PDF comes from a repository tagged applied-microeconomics, claude-code, claude-skills, codex and codex-skills.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Markdown → PDF (pandoc + headless Chrome)

Problem

Converting Markdown to PDF through pandoc's default LaTeX route breaks on real-world GitHub-flavored documents: Unicode box-drawing characters in code blocks (├──) crash pdflatex, wide GFM tables overflow the page, remote images need manual download, and the output looks nothing like the rendered Markdown the author reviewed. Naive HTML routes drop images or paste them at native resolution so they spill off the page.

Context / Trigger Conditions

User asks to save/convert/export a .md file as PDF.
The document carries images (hosted PNGs, local figures), GFM tables, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, or #-anchor TOC links.
Requirements like "all images must be preserved" or "scaled appropriately".

Solution
