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?
We apply a clean, standardized GitHub-flavored stylesheet that renders tables and typography perfectly. While advanced CSS customization isn't currently supported, our default theme ensures your documentation looks professional out of the box without manual tweaking.
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. Enjoy limitless, offline-capable conversions forever.
