When is it useful? Convert a plain text file into a neat PDF when you need to print notes, share code or logs, or submit a text document in PDF format.
Good to know: the text is laid out on A4 pages and saved as page images, so its layout stays fixed, but it cannot be selected or searched in the PDF. Long lines wrap automatically.

Plain .txt files are perfect for notes, logs, code and lists, but they look different in every app, and many portals and printers ask for PDF. A PDF gives your text a fixed, tidy page layout that prints and shares the same way almost everywhere.
The text is placed on A4 pages in a clear monospaced layout that keeps your spaces and line breaks exactly as typed, and long lines wrap automatically. Each finished page is saved into the PDF as a picture, so the PDF looks the same almost everywhere, but its text cannot be selected or searched.
Notes, lists, poems, simple letters, code and log files work well. Save the file as UTF-8 so letters in Indian and other languages appear correctly. Very long files are limited to 300 pages per conversion.
Strange characters appear: the text file was saved in an old encoding — open it in Notepad and save it again as UTF-8. You need selectable text in the PDF: run it through OCR PDF. You want headings and bold text: put the text into Word with TXT to Word, format it, then convert with Word to PDF.
Remove extra spaces with Trim Text Lines first, add blank lines between sections for readability, and keep the original .txt for later edits.
