convert_pdf_to_markdown

Convert PDF files to markdown format while extracting and saving images. Handles large files by saving markdown to a specified path. Ideal for LLM processing and structured document conversion.

Instructions

Converts a PDF file to markdown format via pymupdf4llm. See pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pymupdf4llm for more. The file_path, image_path, and save_path parameters should be the absolute path to the PDF file, not a relative path. This tool will also convert the PDF to images and save them in the image_path directory. For larger PDF files, use save_path to save the markdown file then read it partially.
