Question:Have anyone come across an application which can convert text or doc into PDF? It has to follow the same format as the original txt or doc file meaning the line feed as well as new paragraph, hoping there is a proper solution on VeryPDF? Let say I have a list of txt files and they could be inside a subdirectories example folder1/abc.txt ,folder1/pqr.txt , folder1/folder2/def.txt etc.... I am looking to write a code that automatically read those txt files and convert it into PDF.but they got to have the same paragraphing as the original txt file.
