Frequently asked questions
Does converting TXT to PDF reduce quality?
No—PDF preserves the original fidelity. You still want to open the converted file once to confirm fonts, colors, or audio loudness survived the transfer.
Can I add transparency during the TXT to PDF conversion?
PDF supports alpha channels. After converting, open the file in an editor such as Adobe Acrobat and remove any backgrounds you no longer need.
Will the layout stay intact after exporting to PDF?
AnyConvert keeps fonts and spacing intact whenever possible. If you rely on custom fonts, embed them or convert text to outlines before uploading.
