Document Weaver

한국어 README

Stop copy-pasting. Drop files, get notes.

Document Weaver converts Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, and HWP files into clean Markdown — instantly. Drag files onto the window, point a watch folder at your Downloads, or pick files from the command palette. Images are extracted automatically. Front matter is injected. Done.

  • 📄 DOCX — headings, bold, italic, tables and images, all preserved
  • 📑 PDF — text layer extracted with automatic heading detection
  • 📊 PPTX — single long-form note or one note per slide, with speaker notes
  • 📈 XLSX / XLS — every sheet becomes a clean GitHub-flavored table
  • 🇰🇷 HWP / HWPx — Korean office format (beta)
  • 📝 TXT / CSV — verbatim or auto-formatted as table

No API keys. No cloud. Fully offline.
The local-file companion to Confluence Weaver.

Supported Formats

Format Extension Fidelity
Word .docx ★★★★ — headings, bold/italic, tables, images
PowerPoint .pptx ★★★☆ — slide titles, bullets, notes, images
PDF .pdf ★★★☆ — text layer only; scanned PDFs generate a stub note
Excel .xlsx / .xls ★★★☆ — each sheet becomes a GFM table
HWP .hwp ★★☆☆ ⚠ beta — binary format, best-effort
HWPx .hwpx ★★★☆ ⚠ beta — ZIP+XML, better than HWP5 binary
Plain text .txt / .csv ★★★★ — verbatim / GFM table

v1.0 Non-Goals

  • No reverse export — Markdown → Word/PDF not supported
  • No OCR — scanned PDFs produce a stub note only
  • No cloud sync — local files only (use Confluence Weaver for remote)
  • HWP/HWPx — beta quality; complex formatting and merged table cells may be lost
  • PDF tables — rendered as plain text in v1 (heuristic reconstruction planned for v2)
