Convert TXT to PDF

Plain text has no pages, margins or typography — it is just characters. This tool lays it out properly: readable font, sensible margins, real page breaks, and a document you can print or attach. You choose the font, text size, page size and margin; the words and their indentation are left exactly as they were.
