Why convert TXT to PDF?
- Turning a long log file or terminal session capture into a PDF for sharing with support.
- Converting a code snippet or source file into PDF for a code review or printed reference.
- Producing a clean PDF of meeting notes or transcripts from a plain-text capture.
- Generating a PDF from an exported Markdown or RST source for archival.
- Wrapping a stack trace or error log as a PDF attachment for a bug report.
- Making a printable copy of a TXT-only ebook (Project Gutenberg classic) for offline reading.
How our converter works
Your TXT is loaded as UTF-8, word-wrapped to A4 page width using pdf-lib's Courier font (a monospaced standard font that doesn't need embedding), and rendered with automatic page breaks. Each line in the source is preserved — no markdown, syntax, or layout interpretation. The output is a clean, paginated PDF. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Will Unicode / smart quotes work?
Standard ASCII and Latin-1 characters work. Smart quotes ("" '') and em dashes (—) are converted to plain quotes and double-hyphens because Courier (a built-in font) only covers WinAnsi encoding. For full Unicode (CJK, Cyrillic, emoji), you'd need a desktop tool with a Unicode font.
What page size does the output use?
A4 (595 × 842 pt), 50pt margins, 11pt Courier — the standard sweet spot for code listings and document text. We don't currently expose page-size or font options.
Will tabs and indentation be preserved?
Yes. Courier is monospaced, so columns line up the way they do in your source file. Each space and tab takes the same horizontal width.
Are my files uploaded?
No. pdf-lib runs as JavaScript in your browser. Source code, logs, and notes stay on your device.
About the TXT format
TXT (plain text) is the universal lowest-common-denominator format — every editor, every OS, every tool reads it. It's what you get from terminal output, log files, exported notes, and stripped-down ebooks. PDF is the universal document format. Converting TXT → PDF is the standard step when plain text needs to live in a document workflow: a stack trace attached to a bug report, a log file shared with support, a code snippet printed for a review, a notes capture filed alongside other PDFs. The conversion preserves the text exactly, monospaced, with automatic pagination.
