Using Pandoc, we can convert a markdown file into pdf, Docx, HTML, and many other formats. More details https://pandoc.org/index.html

Here, we will just convert a markdown file to pdf and even see how we can merge two markdown files together.

Convert markdown to PDF with Pandoc

To convert a markdown file (post.md) to a PDF document, we will use the following command

pandoc -s -o document.pdf post.md

So, this command will generate a PDF document named document.pdf as an output.

Merge two markdown files into one PDF document using Pandoc

We can also use Pandoc to merge files too. Suppose we have two markdown files: article1.md and article2.md.

So to convert it into one PDF document, we will use the command:

pandoc -s -o document.pdf article1.md article2.md

Pandoc will merge and generate the document.pdf as the output in your directory.

So this is a straightforward way to convert a markdown document to pdf offline using the command line in your Windows, macOS, and Linux operating system.
