What makes a good text-to-PDF conversion?

Printing a .txt file from a text editor gives you cramped margins, no page numbers and lines that get cut off at the right edge. It works, but it does not look like a document.

This converter typesets the text properly: comfortable A4 margins, wrapped lines that never run off the page, numbered pages, and — importantly — real selectable text rather than an image, so the PDF stays searchable and copyable.

How to convert

  1. Choose a text file.txt, .md, .log or .csv — any UTF-8 plain text file.
  2. Typeset the textLines are wrapped to the page width and flowed across pages.
  3. PreviewCheck the first page of the result before saving.
  4. Download the PDFA paginated A4 PDF with selectable text.

Use cases

Submitting a plain text documentSome systems only accept PDF, even when your content is just text.
Sharing logs and outputA paginated PDF of a log file is far easier to annotate and reference than a raw dump.
Printing notes cleanlyProper margins and page numbers make printed notes usable.

Supported files

UTF-8 plain text files including .txt, .md, .log and .csv. Markdown is rendered as literal text here on purpose — if you want the Markdown formatted, convert it to HTML first and use the HTML to PDF tool.

Privacy

The file is read locally with the File API and the PDF is assembled in memory, so drafts, notes and logs never leave the browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the text in the PDF selectable?

Yes. Text is drawn as real text, not as a picture, so the PDF is searchable and you can copy from it.

Does it render Markdown formatting?

No — Markdown is written out literally. That is intentional so log files and code keep their exact characters.

What paper size is used?

A4 portrait with balanced margins. Letter-size printers handle A4 content without clipping the text.

How large a file can I convert?

Files with tens of thousands of lines work fine. Very large files simply take a few extra seconds.

Are non-Latin characters supported?

Latin, accented and most Western characters render directly. CJK text may fall back to a substitute glyph because embedding a full CJK font would make the PDF far larger.
