About Text to PDF
Text to PDF writes pasted plain text as native Helvetica text on A4 or Letter pages. Choose a font size from 8 to 24 points and line spacing of 1.0, 1.2 or 1.5. Long lines wrap to the fixed page width and new pages start automatically. The input is a text area only; there is no file upload, font-family chooser, orientation control or custom margin.

Frequently asked questions about Text to PDF
Which characters are supported?
The writer uses PDF Standard Helvetica, whose WinAnsi encoding covers a limited Latin character set. It does not fall back to a Unicode font; unsupported scripts, many symbols and emoji can make generation fail.
Are tabs and exact spacing preserved?
Paragraphs are split on line breaks, then words are wrapped from whitespace. Repeated spaces and tabs are not a fixed-layout guarantee. Use Code to PDF for a visual monospaced rendering.
Can I add a header or page number here?
No. Generate the text PDF first, then use Add header & footer or Add page numbers.
Why in-browser processing matters
Every PDFChamp tool runs inside this page: the file you choose is read by JavaScript in your own browser and is never sent to a server, so nothing is uploaded, queued, or stored anywhere. That removes the upload wait, the processing queue, and the question of what happens to your file afterwards — the PDFChamp overview compares this architecture with server-side PDF tools.
