  1. Get PDF
  2. Convert into word document using this website and put into the obsidian valut folder
  3. Install Pandoc
  4. Got to terminal and change directory to obsidian vault
  5. Run this command

    pandoc --extract-media= “word doc file name”.docx -o “converted markdown file name”.md

  6. (Optional): The output requires a little formatting; so you can use the regex find and replace plugin to easily clean it up

If you have any doubts, feel free to ask

I am new scripts, coding, command prompts, etc. I’m Googling and trying to learn so I apologize if these are silly questions but I can’t find the answer. Once I change my directory to my obsidian vault, how to I know it worked? Step 5 says run this command I copy and pasted it into pandoc and updated the file names but how do I save it and execute it?

Sorry for taking this long.

I am writing a python script for this, so that you can do this process in bulk. Got some other work to do, I will finish writing within a day. I will update this thread when I finish.
