Most online text converters default to US Letter, which is a problem if you are anywhere the standard paper is A4, because a Letter PDF prints with the wrong margins and can clip content on A4 paper.

US Letter and A4 are close in size but not the same. Letter is wider and shorter, while A4 is narrower and taller. When a PDF built for Letter is printed on A4, the printer either scales it, shifting all the margins, or prints at the original size and risks cutting content near the edges. For a text document that was carefully wrapped to a Letter width, that mismatch shows up as uneven margins or clipped lines.
Setting A4 from the start avoids the whole problem. FixTools wraps the text to the A4 width and paginates for the A4 height, so the PDF is correct for the paper it will actually be printed on. If your recipients are in Europe, Asia, Africa, or most of the world outside North America, A4 is what their printers and forms expect, and delivering an A4 PDF means it prints cleanly without anyone needing to rescale it.
Upload your .txt file and choose A4 as the page size. Set the margins and font to suit, then convert and download an A4 PDF that prints correctly.
Step-by-step guide to convert txt to pdf in a4 size:
Open the tool
Launch FixTools TXT to PDF in any browser. There is nothing to install.
Upload the text file
Drag your .txt file onto the upload area or click to browse for it.
Choose A4 as the page size
Set the page size option to A4 so the PDF is built for 210 by 297mm paper rather than Letter.
Adjust font and margins
Set the font size, margin, and line height so the text sits comfortably within the A4 page.
Convert and download
Convert over an encrypted connection and download the A4 PDF. Your uploaded file is deleted automatically after.
Common situations where this approach makes a real difference:
Printing outside the US
Someone in Europe converts a text file to an A4 PDF so it prints correctly on the standard local paper.
Submitting to an A4 form
A user prepares a document for a portal that expects A4 and converts the text to the right page size up front.
International recipient
A sender in the US makes an A4 PDF because the reader abroad will print it on A4.
Matching an existing set
Someone converts notes to A4 so they match a folder of other A4 documents.
Get better results with these expert suggestions:
Set A4 before converting
Choose A4 up front rather than converting on Letter and rescaling later, which shifts the margins.
Use a margin around 72 points
The default 72 point margin translates to a comfortable border on A4 for most documents.
Check the print preview
Open the A4 PDF in your reader print preview to confirm the margins look right before sending it on.
Keep font at 11 or 12pt
An 11 or 12pt font reads well on A4 for body text without wasting space.
