Text to PDF

Notes that look like a document.

Turn plain text or Markdown into a clean, paginated PDF document. Choose the paper size, the font and whether pages are numbered.

Loading…

Type or paste text and get a properly set page: margins, a readable line length, page breaks in sensible places. It is the quickest way to make a PDF when you have words but no document.

With Markdown switched on, a line starting with # becomes a heading, hyphens make a list, and tables, bold, italics, quotes and code blocks are laid out accordingly. Paper size, font, text size and margins are yours to set.

How to use the Text to PDF tool

  1. Type, paste or open a text file.
  2. Choose paper, font and text size; tick Markdown if you used it.
  3. Press Make the PDF.
  • Notes, letters and meeting minutes
  • README and documentation files as printable handouts
  • Saving an email or a chat export as a document

Tips for the best result

  • Leave a blank line between paragraphs.
  • Three hyphens on their own line draw a rule across the page.
