Render PDF to MARKDOWN within C++ applications without requiring any third party application
Aspose.Total for C++ file format automation libraries allows C++ developer to convert PDF to MARKDOWN in two simple steps. Firstly, you can use Aspose.PDF for C++ API to convert PDF file format to DOC. Secondly, by using advanced Word Document Processing API Aspose.Words for C++ , you can export DOC to MARKDOWN.
C++ API to Render PDF to MARKDOWN
Get Started with C++ File Automation APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load PDF file with an instance of Document class reference
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"sourceFile.pdf");
// save PDF as a DOC
doc->Save(u"DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat::Doc);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> wordDoc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"DocOutput.doc");
// save document as Markdown
wordDoc->Save(u"output.Markdown");
Change Password of PDF Document via C++
In the process of rendering PDF to MARKDOWN, you can open a password protected PDF and also change its password. In order to change the password of a PDF file, you must know the owner password of that document. You can load password protected PDF document with Aspose.PDF for C++ by specifying its owner password and use ChangePasswords method to change the password.
// load an existing PDF Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.pdf", L"owner");
// change password of PDF Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Restrict MARKDOWN File Editing via C++
You can also restrict MARKDOWN file editing using using Aspose.Words for C++ API. Sometimes you may need to limit the ability to edit a document and only allow certain actions with it. API enables you to control the way you restrict the content using the ProtectionType enumeration parameter. The following code example demonstrates how to restrict editing in a document so only editing in form fields is possible.
// load Doc with an instance of Document
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>("input.doc");
// document protection only works when document protection is turned and only editing in form fields is allowed.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::AllowOnlyFormFields, u"password");
// save the protected document.
doc->Save(u"Protected.Markdown");

What is PDF File Format?
PDF, or Portable Document Format, is a file format designed for presenting documents in a manner that remains consistent across various software applications, hardware devices, and operating systems. Each PDF file contains a comprehensive description of a fixed-layout document, encompassing text, fonts, graphics, and other necessary information for accurate display. Initially developed by Adobe Systems in the early 1990s, PDF served as a means to share computer documents while preserving text formatting and inline images.
PDF files are typically generated using software like Adobe Acrobat or similar PDF creation tools. Presently, PDF has become an open standard governed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standardization ensures compatibility and interoperability across different platforms and systems. To view PDF files, users can utilize free software such as Adobe Reader or other PDF viewers available.
One of the significant advantages of PDF is its platform independence, allowing seamless viewing and printing on a wide range of devices and operating systems. Regardless of the hardware or software used, the document’s layout and content will remain intact. This universal accessibility has contributed to the popularity of PDF as a preferred format for sharing and distributing documents across diverse platforms and systems.
PDF’s capability to encapsulate a complete document, including text, fonts, graphics, and formatting, makes it a reliable choice for various applications. Whether it’s sharing important reports, publishing e-books, distributing forms, or delivering professional presentations, PDF ensures consistent document rendering and reliable preservation of content across different environments.
What is MARKDOWN File Format?
Markdown, a lightweight markup language widely utilized for creating formatted documents and web content, offers a user-friendly and efficient solution. With its straightforward syntax, Markdown allows users to quickly learn and apply it for various purposes. Its versatility is a key advantage, as it accommodates the creation of simple notes, to-do lists, as well as complex technical documentation and web pages. Moreover, Markdown provides flexibility by enabling easy conversion to other formats, including HTML, PDF, and DOCX, enhancing its portability.
Simplicity is another valuable aspect of Markdown. By employing a minimal syntax, it allows users to focus on the content of their documents rather than grappling with intricate formatting rules. This simplicity facilitates swift and efficient content creation, eliminating the need to dwell on formatting minutiae. Markdown also boasts compatibility with numerous tools and platforms, making it highly accessible. Notion, Obsidian, and Bear are just a few examples of popular writing and note-taking applications that support Markdown. Furthermore, Markdown files can be effortlessly shared and collaborated on through version control systems like Git, streamlining collaborative workflows.
