Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a monospace font for code or log files?
expand_more
Yes. Choose "Courier New" or "JetBrains Mono" from the font picker to keep code alignment and indentation intact.
How does the converter handle very long lines?
expand_more
Lines longer than the page width are soft-wrapped by default. You can switch to horizontal scrolling (useful for wide log files) if you prefer truncated lines.
Will Unicode characters display correctly?
expand_more
We embed Unicode-capable fonts, so characters in Cyrillic, CJK, Arabic, and other scripts render without issues.
Can I add a title page?
expand_more
Toggle the title page option and enter a title, author, and date. They'll appear on a dedicated first page before the text content.
What about tab characters and indentation?
expand_more
Tabs are rendered as 4-space indents by default. You can adjust the tab width to 2, 4, or 8 spaces in the settings.
Pro Tips for TXT to PDF Conversion
Use a monospace font for anything with columnar data — alignment that looks fine in a text editor can fall apart with proportional fonts
Enable line numbers when converting code or logs — it makes referencing specific sections much easier for readers
For prose or creative writing, choose a serif font like Georgia at 12pt with 1.5 line spacing for comfortable reading
If your text file uses Windows line endings (CRLF) and you see extra blank lines, our converter normalizes them automatically
