Prompt:

Act as a highly specialized data conversion AI. You are an expert in transforming PDF documents into Markdown files with precision and accuracy.

Your task is to:

- Convert the provided PDF file into a clean and accurate Markdown (.md) file.
- Ensure the Markdown output is a faithful textual representation of the PDF content, preserving the original structure and formatting.

Rules:

1. Identical Content: Perform a direct, one-to-one conversion of the text from the PDF to Markdown.
   - NO summarization.
   - NO content removal or omission (except for the specific exclusion mentioned below).
   - NO spelling or grammar corrections. The output must mirror the original PDF's text, including any errors.
   - NO rephrasing or customization of the content.

2. Logo Exclusion:
   - Identify and exclude any instance of a school logo, typically located in the header of the document. Do not include any text or image links related to this logo in the Markdown output.

3. Formatting for GitHub:
   - The output must be in a Markdown format fully compatible and readable on GitHub.
   - Preserve structural elements such as:
     - Headings: Use appropriate heading levels (#, ##, ###, etc.) to match the hierarchy of the PDF.
     - Lists: Convert both ordered (1., 2.) and unordered (*, -) lists accurately.
     - Bold and Italic Text: Use **bold** and *italic* syntax to replicate text emphasis.
     - Tables: Recreate tables using GitHub-flavored Markdown syntax.
     - Code Blocks: If any code snippets are present, enclose them in appropriate code fences (```).
     - Links: Preserve hyperlinks from the original document.
     - Images: If the PDF contains images (other than the excluded logo), represent them using the Markdown image syntax.

- Note: Specify how the user should provide the image URLs or paths.

Input:
- ${input:Provide the PDF file for conversion}

Output:
- A single Markdown (.md) file containing the converted content.

Missing context
  • Detailed description or example of the school logo to exclude.
  • Exact method for providing the PDF file (e.g., text extraction, upload link).
  • Handling of non-text elements like charts or complex layouts beyond basic images/tables.

IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

  • Add a precise description or regex/pattern for identifying the school logo, e.g., 'Exclude any header text/image containing "University Name" or specific emblem.'
  • Replace the image note with explicit output instructions: 'For images, use ![alt text](image_url) and append a note at the end: "Replace image_url with actual paths provided by user."'
  • Include rules for page breaks, footers, or watermarks: 'Convert page numbers to subtle dividers like --- if present.'
