# Text to PDF
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Convert plain text into a formatted PDF. You can upload `.txt` files or type directly into the built-in text editor. The tool supports multiple fonts, custom text colors, and a wide range of page sizes -- from A0 down to A10, plus US Letter, Legal, and Tabloid.
|

|

## Supported Formats

| :---------------- | :---------------------------- |
|
||
|
|
| Plain text files | `.txt` |
|
||
|
|
| Direct text input | Type or paste into the editor |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How It Works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Choose your input mode using the toggle at the top: **Upload Files** or **Type Text**.
|
||
|
|
2. If uploading, drag and drop or click to select one or more `.txt` files. If typing, enter your text directly in the textarea.
|
||
|
|
3. Configure the formatting options: font family, font size, text color, and page size.
|
||
|
|
4. Click **Create PDF**. The output downloads as `text_to_pdf.pdf`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When uploading multiple files, their contents are concatenated with blank lines between them.

## Options
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
| Option | Values | Default |
|
||
|
|
| :-------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------- | :-------------- |
|
||
|
|
| **Font Family** | Helvetica (sans-serif), Tiro (serif), Courier (monospace), Times (serif) | Helvetica |
|
||
|
|
| **Font Size** | 6 -- 72 pt | 12 |
|
||
|
|
| **Text Color** | Any color via color picker | Black (#000000) |
|
||
|
|
| **Page Size** | ISO A0--A10, B0--B10, C0--C10, US Letter, Legal, Tabloid, Ledger, 11x17 | A4 |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu) are automatically detected. When RTL text is found, the text direction and alignment switch accordingly.
|
||
|

|
## Use Cases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Converting code snippets or log files into a printable PDF with Courier font
|
||
|
|
- Creating a quick PDF from meeting notes typed on the spot
|
||
|
|
- Formatting a plain text manuscript with a specific font and page size for submission
|
||
|
|
- Producing a PDF version of a README or changelog for offline distribution
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Use the **Type Text** mode when you want to quickly convert clipboard content without saving it as a file first.
|
||
|
|
- Courier (monospace) is the best font choice for code, logs, or any content where column alignment matters.
|
||
|
|
- The page margins are fixed at 72 points (1 inch) on all sides.
