Convert to Markdown

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi everyone,

I need some help with converting DOC, DOCX, and PDF documents to markdown files. Currently, information such as titles is being extracted as plain text. Is it possible to retain the heading layout during conversion? I checked the MarkdownSaveOptions (MarkdownSaveOptions class | Aspose.Words for Python) but couldn’t find a relevant option. Below is the code I am using for extraction. Please let me know if there are any improvements I can apply to preserve the heading layout.

pdf_path = "./data/test.pdf"

def aspose_filter(file_path: str) -> str:
    with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as temp_dir:
        pdf = aw.Document(file_path)
        save_path = os.path.join(temp_dir, "pdf.md")
        pdf.save(save_path)
        
        with open(save_path, "r") as f:
            text = f.read()
            
    return text

Among the attached documents, my case involves ko_1.pdf and ko_2.pdf, but I have also attached en_1.pdf since handling Korean documents might be inconvenient. The issue of not retaining heading information is the same for all three documents. Thank you for your help.
