Text to PDF Guide

Write plain text out as a PDF, with wrapping, page size, margins and page numbers.

A short receipt may fit on one page until a larger font or margin pushes it onto two. Text to PDF recalculates the page layout as those settings change. The text is wrapped to the page width and carried onto a new page when the space runs out, with a choice of page size, font, size, margin and line spacing.

Turn a note into a PDF

The Text box opens with a short receipt, and the Result panel reports Pages, Lines and File size as you type; with the sample text that is one page. Change Page size, Font, Font size (pt) (12), Margin (mm) (20) and Line spacing (1.4) and watch the layout follow, then switch Page numbers off and on to see the footer appear or vanish. Choose Download PDF to save text.pdf.

Words are measured with the chosen font, so a long line breaks at the margin rather than at a guess. The three standard fonts cover Latin-1, which is enough for English and Indonesian; characters outside that range, such as emoji or Cyrillic, cannot be drawn and the status reports how many were left out. There is no option to embed your own font in this version, and the input is capped at 200,000 characters.

Questions you might have

Which characters can be drawn?
The standard PDF fonts cover Latin-1, which is enough for English and Indonesian and most Western European text. Characters outside that range, such as emoji or Cyrillic, cannot be drawn and are left out, and the count is reported.
How does the wrapping work?
Each word is measured with the chosen font and size, and a line breaks when the next word would cross the margin. That keeps the layout correct even in a proportionally spaced font like Helvetica or Times.
Can I use my own font?
Not in this version. Embedding a font means shipping the font file, which would add weight to the page. The three standard fonts are always available and need nothing extra.
