Cause

When converting a PDF to Markdown using Aspose.Words, messy content can occur due to the inherent differences in how PDFs and Markdown handle formatting and layout. PDFs are designed for fixed layouts, while Markdown is more flexible and text-based, which can lead to discrepancies during conversion.

Solution

To improve the quality of the conversion, consider the following steps:

  1. Check PDF Quality: Ensure that the PDF is not overly complex or poorly formatted. Simplifying the PDF content can help.
  2. Update Aspose.Words: Make sure you are using the latest version of Aspose.Words, as updates often include improvements and bug fixes related to file conversions.
  3. Adjust Conversion Settings: You can customize the conversion process by using SaveOptions to fine-tune how the content is handled.

Code

Here’s an example of how to implement custom save options during the conversion:

import com.aspose.words.*;

public class PdfToMarkdown {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String filePath = "path/to/your/file.pdf";
        Document document = new Document(filePath);
        
        MarkdownSaveOptions saveOptions = new MarkdownSaveOptions();
        saveOptions.setExportHeadersFootersMode(ExportHeadersFootersMode.FIRST_SECTION_HEADER);
        saveOptions.setExportListLabels(ExportListLabels.BY_HTML_TAGS);
        
        document.save("output/test.md", saveOptions);
    }
}

Next Steps

  1. Test the conversion with the updated code and settings.
  2. If the output is still messy, manually edit the Markdown file to clean up any issues.
  3. If problems persist, please share specific examples of the messy content for further assistance.

I am confident that following these steps will help improve your conversion results. If you have any further questions or need additional support, feel free to reach out!
