Text to PDF Converter
Transform plain text into professional PDF documents. Type or paste content directly, upload text files, and convert to beautifully formatted PDFs with control over page size, font selection, margins, and layout. Perfect for converting notes, code snippets, logs, or any text content into a polished, portable format.
What does this tool do?
The Text to PDF converter creates properly formatted PDF documents from plain text input. It handles word wrapping, pagination, and page layout automatically. You control the output appearance: select from standard page sizes (A4, Letter, Legal, A5), choose fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier), adjust font sizes and line spacing, and set margins. The tool intelligently paginates your content, adding page breaks where needed for clean presentation.
How it works
Using MuPDF's text layout and PDF generation capabilities, the tool creates a new PDF document from scratch. It processes your text input line by line, applying word wrapping at the specified page width (accounting for margins). Text flows from page to page automatically, with new pages created as needed. The selected font is embedded or referenced, and text is rendered using standard PDF text operators. The result is a standards-compliant PDF that opens in any viewer.

Tips & best practices
- Courier font at 10pt is ideal for code and technical content — it preserves alignment with monospace characters
- Use 1.5 or double line spacing for documents intended for annotation or markup
- The tool preserves intentional line breaks but wraps long lines — add blank lines between paragraphs for clear separation
- For very long documents (100+ pages), consider splitting into multiple conversions for easier handling
