What is it for?
Converting text to PDF is handy for saving notes, sending a letter or a note with fixed formatting, attaching text to an application or printing without depending on the program it was written in.
The text is converted on your device, so what you write isn't uploaded to any server. With common (Latin) letters, the text in the PDF can be selected and copied.
Limits to keep in mind
- It's plain text: no bold, images or tables.
- With alphabets such as Cyrillic, Japanese or Hindi, or with letters like the Turkish ğ, the pages are saved as images.
- The maximum text length is 2 million characters.
