July 2025 Endpoint of the Month: Markdown String to PDF

In today's business world, maintaining a consistent and professional appearance is crucial. This applies to various forms of communication, including blogs, reports, and presentations. Fortunately, we have a tool that can help maintain consistency and professionalism, and even automate the creation of such documents: the "Markdown String to PDF" endpoint.

What is a Markdown String?

Markdown is a system for adding annotations (tags or codes) to a document to define its structure, formatting, and/or the relationship between its parts. This is also called a lightweight markup language, similar to HTML or rich text.

A Markdown string is essentially a piece of text that uses the Markdown syntax mentioned earlier. Furthermore, in the context of APIs, a Markdown string serves as a variable or data format holding Markdown content that can be processed or transformed into other formats, such as HTML or PDF.

How to Set Up the "Markdown String to PDF"

This endpoint can be used in one of two ways: via an API call or in Make, Zapier, or n8n.

First, enter the text that you would like to convert into a PDF with Markdown formatting into the Markdown String field.

Then, in the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) field, we provide additional instructions on how the document should appear. One example is the color of the headers.

How Does This Feature Benefit You?

• Markdown provides a straightforward way to maintain consistent formatting across PDFs.
• The conversion process is typically quick and can be automated.
• The "Markdown String to PDF" allows customization, such as adding CSS styles to change the document's appearance.
