Frequently Asked Questions
What types of text files can I upload?
The tool accepts .txt (plain text) files. Rich text files (.rtf), Word documents (.docx), and other formatted text files are not supported — use the Word to PDF tool for those. For other file types, open them and copy-paste the text content using the "Paste text" input mode.
Can I convert text with special characters or non-English content?
The tool works best with plain ASCII and English text. Non-ASCII characters (accented letters, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, etc.) may not render correctly since the conversion uses a basic monospace font. For non-English text, the Word to PDF tool with a properly formatted document will produce better results.
How many words can I convert in one PDF?
There is no hard word limit. The tool paginates text automatically, creating a new page every 50 lines. Very long text files will produce multi-page PDFs, which is handled automatically.
