TXT to PDF: sharing notes with consistent typography

Plain text files open differently on every device. Converting TXT to PDF locks fonts, line breaks, and page size so meeting notes, RFC snippets, or config dumps look the same for every reader.

Choose readable margins and monospace when sharing code; use proportional fonts for prose when the tool allows.

Practical tips

Confirm UTF-8 vs UTF-16 encoding before converting non-ASCII characters.
Keep TXT sources for future edits; PDF is for distribution.
Combine with PDF Merge when bundling multiple text exports.
Redact sensitive lines in TXT before PDF conversion.
