💖 PODOFOTXT2PDF(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is podofotxt2pdf from the podofotxt2pdf corner of the manual-verse, section 1, and it is literally your little glow-up machine for plain text files ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

podofotxt2pdf — convert plain text files into PDF files 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

podofotxt2pdf [-fontname <name>] [-utf8] [inputfile] [outputfile]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so podofotxt2pdf is one of the command line tools that come with the PoDoFo library — and that whole lil family of tools provides several useful operations for working with PDF files 🫶

and this specific one? it can convert a plain text file into a PDF file. that's it, that's the vibe. text in, PDF out, main character energy 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -fontname <name> — use the font <name>. like, pick your font, bestie, it's giving customization 🎀
  • -utf8 — specifies that the input text is UTF8 encoded instead of Windows ANSI encoding. so if your text is UTF8 and you don't say so, it'll get read as Windows ANSI and things will get weird 😭 say the flag, protect your emoji-adjacent glyphs
  • [inputfile] — input PDF file. (yes, that's what the page says — word for word, we're not editing the lore) 📄
  • [outputfile] — output PDF file. same deal, quoted exactly as written 🫡
both [inputfile] and [outputfile] are optional-looking in the synopsis (those square brackets, iykyk) 💜
