Tips for converting TXT to PDF

What this converter expects from a text file.
  • 01

    Use a plain text file

    The file should be words in a .txt file. A Word document or a PDF is a different format.

  • 02

    Notepad files work

    A file saved from Notepad is a .txt file. Drop it here.

  • 03

    Latin script

    Accented Latin letters are kept. A file in another script needs a different PDF font.

Good uses for a TXT to PDF converter

When a PDF is easier to share than a text file.
  1. Share notes: Turn a .txt file into a PDF that opens without a text editor.

  2. Print a text file: A4 or US Letter pages are ready to print.

  3. Keep the wording: The words and line breaks from the text file stay in the PDF.
