What this Markdown includes

Accountants and operators paste PDF text into notes and tickets. This page keeps headings and tables so the paste is easier to read than one long line.

A table needs at least two rows of separated columns. Pictures, stamps, and scanned pages are not converted. Run OCR PDF first if the page is a scan, then come back.

The first 50 pages are read. The Markdown file downloads immediately and nothing is stored on MyPDF.
