Decode the Text

The converter first reads the text file and decodes characters. UTF-8 handles most modern text, including accents and many symbols.

If the wrong encoding is assumed, special characters can become garbled.

Wrap and Style Lines

Plain text does not include page layout. The converter chooses a font, size, margins, and line spacing, then wraps long lines to fit the page width.

Monospace fonts are useful for logs and code; proportional fonts are often better for prose.

Paginate and Export

After layout is resolved, Text to PDF writes the text into fixed PDF pages. For the full workflow, return to the Text to PDF guide.
