Essential terms and definitions related to Text to PDF Converter.
The vertical distance between lines of text, expressed as a multiplier of the font size. A line height of 1.5 means each line occupies 1.5 times the font size in vertical space. Higher values improve readability; 1.5 is the standard for body text.
Three built-in fonts: Helvetica (clean sans-serif, default), Times New Roman (traditional serif), and Courier (monospace, ideal for code or logs). These are standard PDF fonts that render consistently across all PDF viewers.
Yes. The tool automatically breaks text across multiple pages when the content exceeds a single page. Page numbers can be optionally added at the bottom of each page.
Yes. Use the optional "Document Header" field to add a title that appears at the top of the first page in bold, slightly larger text.
A4, Letter, and Legal page sizes in portrait or landscape orientation. Margins can be set from 10mm to 25mm, and line height from 1.2 to 2.0.
Common errors developers encounter and how to resolve them.
Text cut off at page edges Increase page margins (try 20–25mm) or reduce the font size. Extremely long lines without spaces (e.g., long URLs or tokens) cannot be wrapped automatically — insert zero-width spaces or line breaks manually.
Unicode characters (CJK, Arabic, emoji) render as boxes The built-in PDF base fonts only cover Latin-1. Non-Latin scripts and emoji display as □. For international text, use the HTML-to-PDF tool with a web font that supports your script, or pre-transliterate content to Latin characters.
Line breaks not preserved in the output Ensure the input contains actual newline characters (\n), not soft wraps. Rich-text editors (Word, Google Docs) sometimes strip explicit breaks when copied. Paste via a plain-text editor or paste as "Unformatted Text" to keep newlines intact.
Page numbers missing or appearing twice Enable the "Add page numbers" option to generate them automatically. If they appear twice, check whether your document header field also contains a manual page counter — remove one of the two sources.
