Fountain+ 
- Recovers scene slugs, characters, dialogue, and parentheticals from PDF glyph positions and indentation columns
- Outputs a .fadein project ready for Fade In Pro — keep editing and run Fade In's reports against it
- Our servers never receive your PDF — the conversion happens inside your browser. The only thing the page downloads is an open-source PDF parser that runs locally on your machine.
- Bold, italic, and underline survive when the source PDF encodes them as real font runs, not baked-in image styling
What to expect from our converter
A PDF carries layout, not structure, so quality depends on what produced the PDF.
But we give our best effort to support most of the native features fount in Fade in. Character, Dual Dialogue, Parantheticals, bold and italic.
The exporter takes what a professional screenwriting software give you near-perfect recovery.
Fountain+ is currently being used actively by its creator Pistol Taeja in Google Docs, he freuqnetly has to go between PDF, FadeIn and other formats so rest assured you can expect things to match up.
How it works
Your file never leaves your browser — conversion runs entirely client-side. The PDF is parsed into positioned glyph runs, layout heuristics infer the screenplay element each block represents, and the resulting Screenplay is packaged into a .fadein zip ready to drop into Fade In Pro.
What the PDF looks like
Krypto is joyous his friend is home, but I'll say here
from the beginning, he is a terrible dog, untrained and
with no awareness or respect for boundaries.
SUPERMAN (CONT'D)
Krypto... home.
Krypto lies down, curls up, perhaps tuckered from all the
unrequited playing.
Superman grabs his own cape and holds it in front of
Krypto's mouth. Krypto licks it.
SUPERMAN (CONT'D)
No... Grab... Krypto... HOME.
Krypto bites the end of the cape, and darts off, pulling
Superman behind him like a sled.
EXT. FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE - DAY
The Fortress stops rising as they arrive.
A scene from Superman by James Gunn, rendered as a screenplay PDF would display it — action flush-left, character cues centred with (CONT'D) markers, bold scene heading marking the location change.
