history
Project history and usage
md2pdf is a Go command-line utility that renders Markdown as PDF, with syntax highlighting, light and dark themes, custom themes, tables, generated tables of contents, pagination controls, footers, and non-Latin font support.
Project history
The public repository began in January 2018. Its tagged release line reached v1.3 in 2023, v2 in the following development period, and v2.2.18 in 2025; the v2.2.18 change also adjusted references after the project moved under the solworktech GitHub organization.
Adoption history
The official README supports three distribution paths: downloadable release binaries, installation with Go's module-aware go install command, and Homebrew. The supplied metadata additionally records a Nix package.
How it is used
Users pass a Markdown file, a directory of Markdown files, an HTTP(S) URL, or standard input and select an output PDF. Options control page size and orientation, themes, fonts, syntax highlighting, generated contents, page breaks, and footer metadata.
Why package nerds care
md2pdf provides a single Go binary for document conversion and builds PDFs through gomarkdown and fpdf instead of requiring a browser-based rendering stack. That makes it attractive for shell scripts, CI jobs, and reproducible document toolchains.
Timeline

- 2023: The v1.3 release line is tagged.
- 2025: The v2.2 release line reaches v2.2.18 under the solworktech organization.
