How the page is laid out
The PDF uses A4 pages with a margin of about 17 mm on every side. Lines that are too long for the page wrap automatically, your own line breaks and blank lines are kept, and the text flows onto as many pages as it needs. Line spacing is set a little looser than single spacing so it's comfortable to read.
The words are real text in the PDF, not a picture of text, so you can select, search and copy them later.
One limitation: Latin letters only
The PDF uses the standard Helvetica font built into every PDF reader. It covers English and other languages written with the Latin alphabet, plus numbers and common punctuation. Text in scripts such as Hindi, Arabic, Chinese or emoji won't display correctly. For those, type the text in Word or Google Docs and save it as a PDF from there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the font or add bold text?
No. This is for plain text. Everything is set in one font at the size you choose.
Is there a length limit?
No fixed limit. Long texts simply produce more pages.
Why do some characters show up wrong?
The built-in PDF font only covers Latin-alphabet characters. Non-Latin scripts and emoji aren't supported.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The PDF is created in your browser with jsPDF.
