When to use pandoc

  • Converting between common document formats like Markdown to PDF, DOCX to EPUB, or LaTeX to HTML for publishing or sharing
  • Generating standardized academic papers or reports using citation processing and templates (e.g., .csl files and reference managers)
  • Batch converting multiple files in a directory from one format to another with consistent styling and metadata

When not to use pandoc

  • When pixel-perfect layout or complex page designs (like multi-column newsletters with embedded graphics) are required, as pandoc may not preserve exact formatting
  • For real-time collaborative editing or live preview of document conversions, since pandoc is a batch command-line processor
