This is an amazing tool -- I do have one FR though. #65

I love pdf2markdown so much, and very much appreciate that it's an online tool (I haven't figured out how to make the code run in linux, so for now I am content with the website).

I was wondering though -- was there any plans to integrate PDF to Markdown in a PKM (personal knowledge management) tool like Obsidian? I have to convert a boatload of PDFs to markdown to put them in Obsidian and from a purely self-serving perspective, it would vastly improve my efficiency if such a conversion tool existed within the app.

I'm sure you have enough on your plate, but I thought I'd at least ask. Also, is there any way to provide a little financial support for all your work? I relied on pdf2markdown a great deal for a recent project, and will continue to sing its praises and use it in the future. I even wrote a little article on what I was working on and how helpful pdf2markdown was to achieving my goals. https://careylening.substack.com/p/the-power-of-links-and-second-brains-d1d

Hey @clening , thanks for the flowers! As for the money I added a Paypal link to the project, let me know if that works for you. As for including the the tool in obsidian... right now backend/frontend are tightly coupled. Tried to decouple some years ago but my effort died off. Picking it up right now again so will let you know if something comes to fruition!
