Developers rely on TXT files for generating notes, reports, and logs. Text documents are lightweight, easy to open, and compatible with almost every device. Still, plain text files do not always look structured; formatting may shift, fonts may differ, and long text documents can appear unorganized. To counter this, users can transform TXT files to PDFs before sending or archiving their content. This is exactly what we will explore in the following sections: how to programmatically convert TXT to PDF in Python using a cloud-powered REST API. With the step-by-step process below, you can turn simple text files into professional PDF documents.
Steps to Convert TXT to PDF Using Python
- Import and set up GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud SDK for Python
- Obtain the API credentials and initialize ConvertApi with them
- Create a ConvertSettings object and configure the input/output files
- Define the PDF conversion options using PdfConvertOptions
- Send a conversion request using the ConvertDocumentRequest object
- Execute the TXT to PDF conversion using convert_document
When you convert text to PDF using the outlined steps, you create a file that looks the same on different devices and operating systems. The output document maintains a consistent layout and is easier to print. The Python REST API handles formatting and document rendering in the background. Furthermore, TXT to PDF conversion simplifies automation as you don’t require advanced tools or complicated installations. Your document conversion applications can replace manual workflow, enabling you to generate PDF files from text documents in a structured and repeatable way.
