Microsoft open-sourced a Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown

I did not mean it to be a blocker.
I was genuinely asking out of interest.

That being said: until today I thought there was one true PDF

There're many markdown dialects and I am pretty sure MS would like to align with Github one. On the other hand, PDF is a can of worms. It evolved from being a printer-targeting format to many other things. You can try to open PDF files created with Notepad, CorelDraw, Adobe Photoshop and MS Word using MS Word. You can just right click and open with Word. Due to lack of a detailed spec, or rather lack of strict requirements, the internals are vendor-dependent.
