How it works
This tool converts plain text data into structured PDF syntax client-side.
When text is entered, the engine splits it into paragraphs and applies a word-wrapping algorithm based on the character metrics of standard Helvetica font. If a paragraph exceeds the remaining height on a page, it automatically inserts a page break.
Using pdf-lib, standard Helvetica is embedded, text coordinates are measured relative to margins, and text lines are drawn onto successive pages. The final PDF is compiled as a local Blob download.
Formatting Note: Special styling (bold, colors, fonts) is not supported in plain text mode. The document uses standard Helvetica for clean readability.
