Convert PDFs and office documents to clean Markdown, with structured bundles for scientific papers. Use when extracting article structure, preparing a manuscript for analysis, or creating CSAG input.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# pdf-to-md Turn a PDF into Markdown. The right path depends on the document type and whether external document submission has been approved: - **Scientific paper** → produce the canonical `paper-to-md` bundle (Markdown + `section_audit.json` + `article.json`) so it can feed `csag-extraction`. Use **LiteParse v2** locally unless the user explicitly approves the remote OCR API. - **Any other PDF** (reports, slides, letters, forms) → just convert to Markdown with **LiteParse v2** for a fast, local, no-key result. Stop there. **LiteParse must be v2** ([run-llama/liteparse](https://github.com/run-llama/liteparse), the Rust rewrite with the `LiteParse` Python API and `lit` CLI). LiteParse v1 is a different, unsupported API. `liteparse_to_md.py` pins `liteparse>=2,<3` and refuses to run on anything else, so `uv run` always provisions the right per-platform v2 binary inside the wheel — nothing to vendor or compile, and no API key. OCR is on by default (bundled Tesseract). **LiteParse output is a draft, not the deliverable.** LiteParse is a *mechanical* parser: it has no native Markdown, infers headings from font size/weight, and …

How to install
mdr add fmschulz/omics-skills/pdf-to-md@sha256:8abddc830f812977The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
