Will long lines be cut off?

No — lines wrap within the page margins rather than running off the edge, which is the usual failure when printing a .txt directly.

Does it handle non-English characters?

Yes. UTF-8 files are read correctly, including accented Latin, Cyrillic and CJK text.

Can I convert a whole folder of logs?

Yes, in one run, with no cap on how many files and nothing uploaded.

TXT to PDF Converter

A .txt file has no pages, no margins and no typography — which is fine until you have to send, print or archive it. BizTray lays plain text out as a proper paginated PDF locally, one file or a folder at a time.

Why convert

Why convert TXT to PDF?

Plain text is the most portable format there is and the least presentable. Converting to PDF gives it margins, page breaks and a fixed layout, so a log, a transcript or a set of notes can be read and filed like any other document.

You need to submit or archive notes, logs or a transcript as a formal document.
Printing the .txt directly produces cramped, marginless output you would rather not hand over.
You want a fixed, page-numbered record of a file that will keep changing.
A folder of exported text files has to become a folder of readable documents.

How it works

Convert TXT to PDF in a few clicks

1
Open Office to PDF
Choose it from the tray menu. Text conversion goes through the same document engine as the other Office formats.
2
Add the text files
Drag in one or a whole folder. Very large files are fine — there is no size ceiling.
3
Convert
Pick the output folder and run it. Text is laid out with sensible margins and paginated automatically.
4
Open the PDF
It is ready straight away, and the original .txt is unchanged.
