Lemon/PDF & documents
Convert Markdown to PDF on Mac
A README or notes file in Markdown, and someone who wants a PDF. Lemon renders the headings, lists, tables and code blocks into a PDF straight from Finder, with no editor and no command line.

Two ways to do it on a Mac.
With Lemon
One click in Finder.
- 1Hold Option and click the .md file in Finder.
- 2Flick it onto PDF on the lemon that appears.
- 3The PDF lands right beside the original.
Select several files first and they are all converted together. Nothing is uploaded: Lemon works with Wi-Fi off.
Built into macOS
There isn't one.
macOS has no built-in way to do this conversion. Preview, Finder and QuickTime Player don't offer it, so it takes an app like Lemon.
Questions.
No. TextEdit opens a Markdown file as plain text, with the # and * symbols showing, so printing it to PDF doesn't format anything.
Every file, one flick.
Lemon converts images, video, audio, PDFs and documents from Finder. $4.99 once, no subscription.
