# Convert PDF to Markdown

Convert PDF files to markdown using the AI26 backoffice conversion service.

## When asking for filename

If the user hasn't specified a PDF file:
- Suggest any PDF files mentioned in the conversation
- Otherwise use "doc.pdf" as the example with description "Path to your PDF document"

## Usage

Run the conversion script:

```bash
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/pdf-to-markdown.sh <filename.pdf>
```

## Response Format

The script returns JSON with `content` (markdown) and `mimetype` fields. Extract and display the `content` field to the user.
