Markdown Integrity Check

Drop the original PDF and the edited Markdown: you get a line-by-line verdict of what survived, what was reworded and what disappeared — including numbers and figure references. No reading the whole document again.

LAST REVIEWED 15 OCT 2026 · EVERY TOOL RUNS LOCALLY IN YOUR BROWSER

1 · BASELINE — ORIGINAL PDF

pdf, page by page

2 · EDITED FILE

md or txt

Skip the PDF? You can also use an earlier .md as the baseline: choose it in the second box, then swap the roles in the first one — or use the buttons below.

Everything runs in your browser — neither file leaves your device.

The problem this tool solves

Converting a PDF to Markdown and then asking an editor, a template or an AI assistant to “just reorganise the layout” is the fastest way to publish study material. It is also the fastest way to lose a paragraph, a percentage or a figure nobody notices until a student asks about it. Proofreading page by page does not scale, and a plain text diff is useless once headings become bold lines and lists become tables.

This checker compares the content, not the formatting: it ignores case, accents, quotes, dashes, list markers, table pipes and section order, and reports what a reader would actually miss.

What is verified

  • Text units: every sentence, list item and heading of the original is looked up in the edited file, word by word. Units where wording changed are reported separately with the missing words, so you can judge whether it was a rewrite or a deletion.
  • Numbers: values are compared as numbers, not as text —1.240, 1240 and 336,0 versus 336 are the same figure written differently, while 96,4% turning into 96% is a real change and gets flagged.
  • Headings: a section that was renamed or dropped appears in its own list, even if its text moved elsewhere.
  • Figures: embedded raster images are counted per page in the original PDF and compared with the image references (![…](…) and <img>) in the Markdown.
  • Additions: extra words in the edited file are counted but never penalised — layout wrappers, captions and navigation are normal.

The workflow it was built for

  1. Convert the PDF with our PDF to Markdown tool and keep that file as the baseline.
  2. Let the layout be reworked — another editor, another template, another tool.
  3. Run this check: original PDF against the reworked Markdown. Fix what appears in red, and repeat until the verdict is INTACT.
  4. Stash the downloaded report next to the project so the next revision starts from a known-good state.

Honest limits

  • Images cannot be compared, only counted. No text comparison can tell whether a chart was replaced by a different chart. For illustrated material, keep the original PDF open (or export its pages with PDF to Images) and do a visual pass on the pages that contain figures.
  • Charts drawn as vector graphics are not counted. They are indistinguishable from table borders in the file format; the tool says when a document has no raster figures so you know the count is not the whole story.
  • Rewording is not loss. A sentence that was rewritten appears under “Reworded” with the words that disappeared — the decision to accept it is yours, which is why it is not scored as missing.
  • Scanned PDFs have nothing to compare. If the original has no text layer, OCR it first.
  • Very long documents: the comparison is instant, but review the lists from the top — the first missing item is usually the one that matters.

Your privacy

Both files are read and compared inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or logged — which matters when the material is unpublished course content, a contract or an internal report. The tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if my Markdown lost any content?+

Choose the original PDF as the baseline and the edited .md as the candidate, then click Check Integrity. You get a verdict, a recovery percentage and explicit lists of missing text, reworded sentences, changed numbers, renamed headings and unreferenced figures.

Does it compare the formatting too?+

No — and that is on purpose. Reformatting is exactly what a layout rework changes: headings become bold paragraphs, lists become tables, lines get rewrapped. The checker normalises case, accents, quotes, dashes, list markers, pipes and section order, then verifies that the content itself survived.

Can it confirm that my images and charts are intact?+

It counts the embedded raster figures in the PDF and compares that with the image references in the Markdown, so you know if any figure was left behind. What no automatic check can do is tell whether a chart was replaced by a different chart — for that, compare the pages visually. The tool tells you which pages contain figures so the manual pass takes seconds.

It says a sentence is 'reworded'. Is that a problem?+

Not necessarily. A rewrite that keeps the meaning is fine; the report shows which words of the original are gone so you can decide. Deletions appear separately as missing text, because nothing replaced them.

Can I compare two Markdown files instead of a PDF?+

Yes. Use the baseline button to load an earlier .md or .txt as the reference — the ideal baseline is the file produced by the PDF to Markdown converter, before the layout was reworked. Everything else works the same way.

Is my document uploaded anywhere?+

No. The PDF is parsed with the pdf.js engine inside your browser and the edited file is read locally, so unpublished course material, contracts and internal reports stay on your device.
