pdf2md-skill
Turns PDFs into clean Markdown using LLM vision.
About
A single installable Claude skill that converts PDF documents into Markdown by routing pages through a vision-capable language model, preserving structure better than plain text extraction. Small but real: 6 stars on GitHub under an MIT license, with a one-command install into the Claude Code skills folder. Honest limits: output quality depends on the model doing the seeing, and scanned or heavily formatted PDFs may need manual cleanup.
