Frequently asked questions
Why should I use this over Pandoc or browser print-to-PDF?
HonestPDF requires zero installation, no dependencies, and no command-line knowledge. While Pandoc is powerful, it requires setting up LaTeX and debugging formatting issues. HonestPDF instantly converts your markdown syntax into a professionally styled PDF directly in your browser: perfect for unpublished drafts and confidential notes without the setup hassle.
How does it handle code blocks and syntax highlighting?
Our tool automatically parses markdown tables, blockquotes, and code snippets, applying clean syntax highlighting and proper padding. When you use your browser's native 'Print to PDF' function on a markdown file, the layout is often broken and chaotic. HonestPDF guarantees a developer-friendly, highly readable output.
Will my custom CSS or frontmatter be included?
Custom CSS isn't supported: every PDF uses the same clean, GitHub-style theme, with GitHub's colors for text, borders and code backgrounds, a shaded header row on tables and a clear heading scale. Frontmatter at the top of the file is left off the page, and its title becomes the PDF's document title.
Are there conversion limits or file uploads?
None. You don't have to upload your proprietary source code to a remote server. HonestPDF uses a local parser to transform your markdown instantly, and there is no limit on how many documents you convert.
