# PDF to Bullet Points

Turn any PDF into a clean bullet list — one idea per bullet, most important first, with page references — ready to paste into notes, slides, an email or a ticket.

## Key facts

- Output is a Markdown bullet list: one idea per bullet, most important first.
- Choose the depth: Short (3-5 bullets) to Comprehensive (with headings).
- Bullets keep figures, dates and names — not vague generalities.
- Copy straight into Notion, Obsidian, Google Docs, Slack, PowerPoint.
- Combine with any document type: contract, paper, report, book, manual.

## How to convert a PDF into bullet points

1. **Upload your PDF.** — Bullet-point format is preselected on this page.
2. **Pick the length** — Detailed gives around 15 bullets; Comprehensive adds section headings.
3. **Pick the document type** — e.g. Research paper to get method/results bullets.
4. **Copy or download** — The Markdown keeps its structure when pasted into most note apps.

## Bullet points vs paragraphs vs key points

| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| Bullet points | Notes, slides, quick scanning of the whole document |
| Paragraph | Reports and emails where the reasoning matters |
| Mixed | A short overview followed by bullets — the best default |
| Key points | The 5-10 things to remember, ranked |
