How to Change Text to a PDF With Adobe Reader 8
Adobe offers a free download of its Adobe Reader software. The program allows users to view and convert a number of document file types, including text to PDF format--as long as your text is not copyright protected. A standard Adobe text document is in the .txt file format, so before you begin, you will want to make sure your text is in a text format (e.g. RTF or TXT).
