Why Convert Text to PDF?
Plain .txt files have no consistent rendering — they display differently in every text editor. A PDF is a fixed-layout document: every reader sees identical typography, line breaks, and pagination. For sharing logs, notes, or configuration files, PDF is more reliable than attaching a .txt.
Font and Readability
For code and logs, a monospace font (Courier, Roboto Mono) preserves alignment and makes formatted text readable. For prose (notes, letters), a proportional serif or sans-serif font (Times New Roman, Helvetica) is more comfortable to read.
Page Size and Margins
Standard choices:
- A4 (210 × 297 mm) — international standard
- Letter (8.5 × 11 in) — US standard
- Legal (8.5 × 14 in) — US legal and contract documents
With a 12pt monospace font on A4 with 25mm margins, you get roughly 60–65 characters per line and 45–50 lines per page — comfortable for reading without horizontal scrolling.
Line Length and Wrapping
Long lines in .txt files (common in logs and CSV exports) may overflow the page or wrap mid-word. A good txt-to-PDF tool respects word boundaries when wrapping. For code files where line breaks are meaningful, choose a smaller font size to fit longer lines.
