Developers accumulate small friction points over time. One of mine has always been sharing internal notes or code snippets in a format that stays stable across devices. Text files are great for editing, but not ideal for handing off to non-technical teammates who might open them in apps that re-wrap or alter spacing.
PDF solves that, but most export workflows feel heavier than necessary—especially when the content is already finalized and doesn’t need styling.
I’ve ended up keeping a lightweight tool bookmarked for those moments when I just want raw text preserved without formatting drift. Nothing more than drop → convert → done. It helps especially when I’m documenting quick findings for QA or sending micro-specs that don’t need anything beyond readability. The simplicity matters more than the tooling ecosystem around it.
If anyone has a similar workflow gap, the tool I lean on lives quietly at https://www.knowadvance.com/text-to-pdf .
