Quality and limitations

A practical view of where mdcraft is strongest and where review is still important.

Quality and limitations#

mdcraft is built for practical, editable results rather than pretending every file can be converted perfectly.

Where mdcraft is strongest#

  • Markdown to PDF exports from well-structured Markdown
  • DOCX to Markdown for documents with clear headings and lists
  • text-first PDFs with readable section structure
  • screenshots and scans that need fast OCR-based recovery into editable text

Where review matters most#

  • scanned PDFs
  • multi-column layouts
  • visually complex designs
  • dense tables
  • documents with charts or diagram-heavy pages

What “good output” means here#

The goal is usable Markdown that is easy to review and improve, not fake precision.

That means mdcraft prefers:

  • readable structure
  • accurate section order
  • clean lists and headings where confidence is high
  • clear review points when the source is ambiguous
  • For clean text-first files, expect light cleanup.
  • For scans and layout-heavy files, expect a review pass before publishing.
  • For highly visual documents, expect that some content may need manual reconstruction.

Best practice#

Use mdcraft when you want a faster path to editable Markdown or polished Markdown exports, then do a short human review before final use.
