To get content into systems built around plain text — documentation sites, wikis, static site generators, or a git repository where you want readable diffs. Markdown strips presentational baggage and leaves structure, which is exactly what you need when migrating old PDFs into a modern docs workflow.
Reasonably, since headings are inferred from font size and weight. Documents with a consistent visual hierarchy convert cleanly. Where styling is inconsistent — a report where some headings are merely bold body text — the detection is less reliable and you will want to fix levels by hand afterwards.
Complex tables often flatten awkwardly, since Markdown tables are far simpler than PDF ones. Multi-column layouts can interleave, images are not embedded in the text file, and precise positioning disappears entirely. Straightforward prose with headings and lists is where this works best.
