How can I convert markdown to pdf on Windows 11?
md-to-pdf, a Node.js-based command-line MD to PDF Converter tool that converts Markdown files into polished PDF documents by rendering them through headless Chrome (via Puppeteer), which means your output gets accurate CSS styling, proper font rendering, and support for things like syntax-highlighted code blocks and tables without needing a full browser or complex build setup.
Open your terminal and run:
npm install -g md-to-pdfThis makes the md-to-pdf command available anywhere on your system.
Navigate to the folder with your Markdown file and run:
md-to-pdf file.mdThis convert .md file to .pdf in the same directory by default.
You can create a config file (e.g. md-to-pdf.config.js) or add a YAML front-matter block at the top of your Markdown file to set custom CSS, page size, margins, or PDF options like headers and footers.
