About TXT to PDF

TXT to PDF turns notes, logs, meeting minutes, code or a plain-text agreement into a document you can print or submit. Paste the text straight into the page, or switch to Upload a file and pick .txt or .log files. The encoding is detected, so text saved as UTF-8, as GBK by older Windows software, or as Big5, Shift-JIS or Windows-1251 comes out readable, and Text encoding under More options lets you choose it yourself.

Each line of your text stays a line, indents and runs of spaces are kept, and blank lines become small gaps. Chinese breaks between characters but never puts a comma or a full stop at the start of a line, and English words are never split. Choose A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape, a font size, and Monospaced font for code; Chinese, Japanese and Korean in a monospaced line are set in a font that has them, so nothing goes blank. Line numbers puts a number before every line, handy for code and logs, and File name at the top prints the file's name above its text. Upload several files and they become one PDF with a bookmark for each. A PDF for each file is a VIP choice. Pages are numbered at the bottom.

FAQ

TXT to PDF: questions and answers

Can TXT to PDF handle Chinese text?
Yes. Chinese is set in a font that has every character and breaks between characters, never before punctuation that must not start a line. GBK and Big5 files are detected and read correctly, and with Monospaced font on, Chinese, Japanese and Korean still show within the line.
Why does my code look misaligned in the PDF?
Proportional fonts give letters different widths. Tick Monospaced font (for code and tables) and every character takes the same width, so columns line up, and Line numbers switches to it by itself. If the text is really a table, such as a CSV export, CSV to PDF prints it with borders and the header on every page.
Can I convert TXT to PDF without uploading a file?
Yes. Paste the text into the Paste text box and click TXT to PDF. The Upload a file tab is there for text that's already saved. Notes written in Markdown can go through Markdown to PDF instead, which formats the headings and lists.
Is this text to PDF converter free, and how many files can I add?
Yes. You can run 2 tasks in total without signing up and 2 a day with a free account, with files up to 50 MB and 20 files per task. VIP removes the limit, accepts files up to 1 GB and 50 per task, and can make a PDF for each file.
