Frequently Asked Questions

How does line wrapping work?

Each line of your input text is measured against the page's usable width at your chosen font size. If a line is too wide, it's broken at word boundaries into multiple lines, similar to how a word processor wraps text.

What happens with very long text?

The tool automatically adds new pages as needed - once the current page fills up, remaining text continues on a fresh page with the same margins.

Can I use a custom font?

This tool uses the standard Helvetica font built into every PDF reader, which keeps the output small and universally compatible. Custom font embedding isn't currently supported.

Is my text uploaded to a server?

No. The entire PDF is generated locally in your browser using the pdf-lib library. Your text never leaves your device.

Are blank lines and paragraph breaks preserved?

Yes. Each line in your input, including empty lines, is preserved as its own line in the output PDF.
