Plain text, properly paged
Text files from Notepad, code editors, WhatsApp chat exports, server logs and many apps are handy, but they are awkward to print or share: long lines run off the page, phones may show them with a tiny font, and some apps refuse to open them. FixDoks lays the text out on A4 pages with sensible margins and a readable font, wraps long lines, and produces a PDF that looks tidy everywhere.
Any language, any script
The converter detects UTF-8 text automatically, which covers Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Bengali, Urdu, Arabic, Chinese, emoji and every other script, and falls back to the older Windows-1252 encoding for legacy English files. The server has Noto fonts for Indian scripts, so Devanagari and other letters render correctly instead of showing empty boxes.
Good uses
- WhatsApp chat exports: WhatsApp exports chats as .txt. Convert to PDF to keep a readable record or to attach as evidence.
- Notes and drafts written in Notepad or a phone notes app.
- Logs and reports from software that only outputs text.
- Code listings you need to print or submit.
Formatting
A text file has no fonts, headings or bold, so the PDF uses a clean default style. Blank lines and indentation are kept. If you need headings, tables or pictures, paste the text into a word processor, format it, and use Word to PDF. For tabular data such as CSV exports, CSV to PDF lays values out in columns.
Batch conversion
Select as many text files as you like. They are converted one after another, and you can download each PDF or grab them all as a ZIP.
Why not just print to PDF?
On a computer you can open a text file and print it to PDF, but Notepad and phone apps often produce tiny fonts, cut-off lines or no Indian script support. FixDoks uses proper fonts for every script, wraps long lines within the margins and works the same on any device, including phones where printing to PDF is awkward. It is also quicker when you have many files: select them all and download a single ZIP.
Code and log files keep their line breaks and indentation, so the structure stays readable. Very long lines, such as minified code, are wrapped rather than cut off.
Encoding problems
If accented or Indian characters look wrong in the PDF, the text file was probably saved in an unusual encoding. Open it in Notepad, choose Save As, select UTF-8 encoding, and convert again.
Your text files are deleted from our server immediately after conversion.
