Text to PDF removes the friction from turning plain text files, code logs, manuscripts, and unformatted documents into polished, distributable PDFs. Built natively for macOS, it supports a wide range of text formats — from .txt and .log to .docx, .rtf, .odt, and .html — and gives you complete control over typography, page layout, security, and metadata. Everything runs locally on your Mac with no internet connection required.

Key Features
High-Volume Batch Conversion
Process entire directories of text files simultaneously — drag and drop hundreds of documents into the conversion window, or add files recursively from subfolders. Export each file as its own PDF or merge them all into a single document.
Wide Format Support
Converts TXT, LOG, DOC, DOCX, RTF, RTFD, ODT, HTML, and all macOS-supported plain text formats — including source code files and console report logs — into clean PDF output.
Custom Typography & Styling
Choose any installed system font, set font size and colour, define background colour, and adjust line spacing and paragraph alignment. Override text attributes even on Rich Text formatted documents for full visual consistency.
Precise Page Setup
Choose from predefined page presets (A4, Letter, Legal) or define fully custom page dimensions. Set margins, orientation (Portrait or Landscape), and save your configuration as a reusable preset.
Batch PDF Security
Set open passwords to restrict document access and apply permission controls to prevent unauthorised printing or content copying — applied across all generated PDFs simultaneously.
Metadata Description
Set PDF document Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords during export — keeping your digital document library consistently organised and searchable.
Standalone & Fully Private
Runs entirely offline on macOS with no internet connection, office suite, or third-party plugin required. Your source code, logs, and manuscripts never leave your Mac.
