📄 Pandoc Document Converter

Convert documents between multiple formats using the powerful Pandoc document conversion engine. Supports HTML, Markdown, DOCX, EPUB, PDF, LaTeX, RST, ODT, PPTX, and more.

✨ Features

• 20+ format support — Convert between HTML, Markdown, GFM, CommonMark, LaTeX, RST, DOCX, EPUB, ODT, PPTX, PDF, plain text, AsciiDoc, MediaWiki, Org-mode, and more
• URL input — Fetch content directly from a URL and convert it
• Raw text input — Paste HTML, Markdown, or any supported format directly
• Binary output — DOCX, EPUB, ODT, PPTX, and PDF files are saved to the key-value store for easy download
• PDF generation — Powered by WeasyPrint (no heavy LaTeX installation needed)
• Standalone mode — Produce complete documents with proper headers and footers

🔧 How It Works

1. You provide content (raw text or a URL to fetch from)
2. You specify the input format and desired output format
3. The Actor runs Pandoc CLI to perform the conversion
4. Text output (HTML, Markdown, etc.) is returned in the dataset
5. Binary output (DOCX, EPUB, PDF, etc.) is saved to the key-value store and base64-encoded in the dataset

🚀 How to Use

1. Set input — Either paste content in the "Content" field or enter a URL in "Source URL"
2. Choose formats — Set "Input Format" (e.g., html) and "Output Format" (e.g., markdown)
3. Run the Actor
4. Get results — Check the dataset for text output, or download binary files from the key-value store
