Notes & knowledge

Notion or Obsidian Markdown to PDF or Word

Get knowledge-base entities: headings, paragraphs, backlinks text, callouts, lists, tables, code blocks, images, Mermaid text, and KaTeX source.

Before you start

What to expect

Uploads are not used to train models, and retained files are deleted after 24 hours unless your account policy says otherwise.
This is Markdown document conversion, not a Notion API or Obsidian vault graph resolver.
Wikilinks, callouts, toggles, Mermaid, and KaTeX may need preprocessing for polished PDF or Word output.

A typeset PDF from exported Markdown; switch to DOCX when the goal is Word editing instead of distribution.
Headings, lists, tables, code blocks, links, and standard Markdown images handled through the document engine document path.
Obsidian wikilinks and Notion callouts are rendered as text unless you preprocess them into standard Markdown.
Embedded images work only when the export package or relative image paths are available to the converter.

Input: 18 Markdown notes combined into one file, 52 headings, six callouts, nine wikilinks, three local PNGs, and two Mermaid code fences.
Output: PDF with table of contents, headings, images, and code blocks; wikilinks remained as bracketed text and Mermaid diagrams stayed as fenced code.

Broken [[wikilinks]] or backlinks: Wikilinks are not resolved against a vault graph. Convert them to normal Markdown links or keep them as readable text.
Notion callouts, toggles, and databases: Exported Markdown is rendered, but interactive Notion blocks flatten. Convert databases to CSV/XLSX separately when tables matter.
Images missing from an export: The Markdown must reference uploaded image files. A lone .md file cannot fetch private Notion or vault assets.
Mermaid and KaTeX expectations: Source blocks are preserved as code/text unless your pipeline renders diagrams or math before conversion.

Command line

pandoc --reference-doc

bash

pandoc notes.md -o notes.docx --reference-doc=brand-template.docx

Great for Word output after you normalize wikilinks, callouts, and image paths.

pandoc

bash

pandoc notes.md -o notes.pdf --toc --pdf-engine=typst

Does not magically resolve private Notion assets or render vault-specific plugins.

Can it convert a whole Obsidian vault?

Not as a graph-aware vault export. Combine or batch Markdown files deliberately and make sure linked images are included.

Will Notion databases become Word tables?

Only if they are exported as real Markdown/CSV tables. Rich database views should be exported separately.

Can I get DOCX instead of PDF?

Yes. Use the Markdown-to-Word path when editing in Word matters more than a fixed PDF.

What happens to Obsidian callouts?

They usually become blockquote-like text. Custom icons, fold states, and plugin behavior are not preserved.
