Convert Markdown into a branded PDF with a table of contents using PDFMint
Receives Markdown over a webhook, numbers the headings, builds a table of contents from those same numbers, skips headings inside fenced code blocks, and returns a branded PDF with a running header, page numbers and an optional watermark. Checks the remaining render quota before spending it and answers a bad request with 422 instead of an empty PDF. Requires the verified n8n-nodes-pdfmint community node and a PDFMint API key; no AI model.

The problem
Invoices, contracts, CVs and forms arrive as PDFs, and someone has to read each one and type the details in.
How this automation solves it
Receives Markdown over a webhook, numbers the headings, builds a table of contents from those same numbers, skips headings inside fenced code blocks, and returns a branded PDF with a running header, page numbers and an optional watermark. Checks the remaining render quota before spending it and answers a bad request with 422 instead of an empty PDF. Requires the verified n8n-nodes-pdfmint community node and a PDFMint API key; no AI model. It runs on a webhook call, so the work happens without anyone doing it by hand.
What changes in your business
- Key details pulled out of documents automatically
- Data saved straight to a sheet or database
- Fewer typing mistakes and faster processing
Use these to read invoices, contracts, CVs and forms, pull out the key details, and save them to a spreadsheet or database without manual typing. It's most useful for operations/documentation teams.

- 1
Get the file
Click "Add to cart", check out free with your details, and download the workflow file.

Import it into n8n
Open n8n (n8n Cloud or your own server), create a new workflow, then choose "Import from File" from the menu and select the file. You can also paste the file contents straight onto the canvas.

Connect your accounts
This workflow does not need any app accounts beyond n8n itself.
- 4
Set up the trigger
Open the Webhook node, copy its production URL, and paste it into the app, website form or tool that should send data to the workflow.

Replace the placeholders
Look for placeholder values such as you@example.com, sheet names, folder IDs and URLs, and replace them with your own.

Test, then switch it on
Run the workflow once with test data and check every node turns green. Then turn on the Active toggle so it runs by itself.
