Question

.txt to PDF

When I convert my ASCII files (.txt) into a PDF, why are the margins not the same?  The PDF looks awful and nothing like the original .txt file.

    Acrobat Reader can't create PDF files. How did you convert the text files?

    Please bear with me.  I'm not as knowledgeable with anything computer related as I should be.

    I have an ASCII file with ".txt" at the end that I'm converting into a PDF document.  When the coverted file opens in Adobe, the margins and spacing are all off.

    For example, I've emailed ASCII (.txt) files to a proofreader, who then emails me back the corrections as a PDF she's created in order to enable editing.

    I'd like to know if perhaps there is a setting or something within Adobe that will keep the original format of my ASCII file when I create a PDF of it.  Hope that makes sense.
