📊 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)

Conversion Examples

DOCX	PDF

PPTX	XLSX

HWPx

Supported Formats

Format	Extension	Fidelity
Word	`.docx`	★★★★ — headings, bold/italic, tables, images, embedded charts → markdown table. `.doc` not supported.
PowerPoint	`.pptx`	★★★☆ — slide titles, bullets, speaker notes, images. Animations and transitions not preserved.
PDF	`.pdf`	★★★☆ — text layer + heading detection. Charts extracted as images. Scanned PDFs rendered as page images. Tables as plain text only.
Excel	`.xlsx` / `.xls`	★★☆☆ — each sheet as GFM table. Chart extraction not supported.
HWP	`.hwp`	★★☆☆ ⚠ beta — binary format, best-effort. Merged cells and complex formatting may be lost.
HWPx	`.hwpx`	★★★☆ ⚠ beta — ZIP+XML, better fidelity than HWP. Inline image placement depends on XML structure.
Plain text / CSV	`.txt` / `.csv`	★★★★ — verbatim or auto-formatted as GFM table.

Usage

Import entry points

Method	How
Command palette	`Doc Weaver: Import file…` → system file picker (multi-select supported)
Drag & drop	Drop supported files anywhere onto the Obsidian window — editor, file explorer, anywhere. Document Weaver intercepts the drop and converts automatically. Unsupported files (images, `.md`, etc.) pass through to Obsidian as normal.
Watch folder	Configure inbox folders in settings; new files are converted automatically

Output

Converted notes are saved to the configured destination folder (default: Imported/):

---
source_file: "report.docx"
source_format: "docx"
imported_at: "2026-05-23T10:00:00+09:00"
---

# Report Title
...

Embedded images are extracted to Imported/_assets/<note-name>/image-001.png and linked with ![[image-001.png]] (or a markdown link, per setting).

Completion notices

Single file: ✅ report.docx → Imported/report.md (12 headings, 3 images)
Bulk: ✅ 5 files imported (1 warning) → Imported/
Errors are appended to Imported/_import_errors.md

PowerPoint modes

Mode	Output
Single note (default)	One `.md` file with `## Slide N` sections separated by `---`
Per-slide	One `.md` per slide + an index note with `[[wikilinks]]`

Settings

Output

Setting	Default	Description
Destination folder	`Imported`	Vault folder for converted notes
Asset subfolder	`_assets`	Sub-path for extracted images
Filename collision	`number`	`skip` / `overwrite` / add number suffix
PowerPoint output	`single`	Single note or per-slide notes
Use wikilinks	ON	`![[...]]` vs `![](...)` for images
Open after import	ON	Open the note after conversion (skipped for bulk)

Watch Folder

Setting	Default	Description
Watch folders	(none)	OS paths to monitor (add multiple)
Watch interval (min)	`5`	Set to 0 to disable
Watch subfolders	OFF	Recursively watch inbox subfolders

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)
