How to Convert Text to PDF
If you work with source code or raw textual data, you might often need to get that content into a format that is more reliable than a simple text file that can be easily modified and manipulated by anyone. One of the best solutions for this is to use the PDF format.
Because PDF technology offers an ideal format for securing and presenting textual data, professional individuals present their final
text in PDF files when they are ready to be published, circulated, or viewed by others.
Whether you are using NotePad, WordPad or any other text editing software, if you have Acrobat 9 Pro installed you can convert from text to PDF. No other text to PDF file converter is needed.
To convert Text files to PDF:
- (Using Notepad as an example)
Open the plain text document that you wish to convert.
Click on Print from the File menu or Ctrl + P.
Select Adobe PDF as your printing device. If you need to adjust some settings to prepare for your new file, choose the Preferences tab on the right.
In the Printing Preferences dialogue box, choose the Adobe PDF Settings tab to adjust your settings.
Once you click OK, you will be directed back to the print dialogue box. Click on Apply and then click on Print.
The Save As PDF File dialogue box will appear. Save your new document under a specific name and location and click on OK. You will then be able to view your text in a PDF file in its new location and under its new name.
