How to Convert PDF to Markdown for Notion
Notion can import Markdown and turn it into native blocks — headings become heading blocks, bullet lists become toggle-friendly list blocks. Converting your PDF to Markdown first gives you a far cleaner import than pasting raw PDF text.

Review blocks
Notion converts headings and lists into native blocks automatically.
Cleaner imports, less manual fixing
Because the converter detects headings from font size and reconstructs lists and tables, the imported page already has structure — so you spend less time re-formatting inside Notion.

▸Does Notion import Markdown tables?
Notion imports Markdown and converts most structure to blocks. Simple tables generally come through; very complex tables may need light cleanup.
