## Markdown vs PDF

| Type | Document | Document |

**Markdown:** Markdown is a lightweight plain-text syntax for headings, lists and links that's used across GitHub, docs sites and note apps.

**PDF:** PDF preserves a document's exact layout, fonts and images so it looks identical on every device. It's the standard for sharing and printing documents.
