# Text to PDF Converter — Plain Text, Logs and Notes

> Turn plain text, notes or log output into a paginated PDF with page numbers.

To convert text to PDF, paste it in and download the paginated document. Blank lines become paragraph breaks and the text is wrapped to the page width and typeset. Switch on "preserve line breaks" for logs or code, where every line break and the alignment between them carries meaning.

## FAQ

### Why does my log file lose its column alignment?

By default the text is reflowed to the page width, which is right for prose and wrong for anything aligned. Switch on "preserve line breaks" and it renders in a monospace font with each line kept intact, so columns stay lined up.
