Paste text, get a PDF
Paste Arabic or English text and download it as a proper PDF. Letters join, direction is right, diacritics survive — and the text stays selectable and searchable, which is the part most converters get wrong.

About Text to PDF
Confileo's Text to PDF tool turns pasted text into a clean PDF, with Arabic handled correctly. Everything runs in your browser, free and without signup, and your files are deleted automatically after processing.
Most of the time the text you need as a PDF is not in a document at all. It is a message, a note on your phone, an email, a paragraph copied off a web page, a block of terms someone sent you. Every converter you find asks for a file you do not have, so the usual answer is to open a word processor purely to save something you already had.
Here you paste the text and download the PDF. Nothing is installed and no intermediate file exists.
This is built around Arabic, because Arabic is where the ordinary tools fail and the failure is easy to miss. Arabic is cursive: every letter has an initial, medial, final and isolated form, and which one appears depends on its neighbours. Software that draws characters one at a time returns the isolated form of each — text that a reader sees instantly as broken. The page here is laid out by a real browser engine, which shapes the run first, so words join the way they are written.
The second failure is subtler and matters more. A PDF can store Arabic in logical order — the order the letters are typed and read — or in visual order, rearranged to how the line appears. Both look identical on screen. Only the logical one survives being copied, searched, translated, or read by a CV screening system. That is why the check worth doing on any Arabic PDF is not to look at it but to select a line, copy it, and paste it somewhere else. Here it pastes back correctly, because the text is never reordered.
The typeface is embedded in the file rather than named in it. A PDF that only names its font depends on the reader's machine having it, and when it does not, the reader gets substituted glyphs or empty boxes — the single most common way an Arabic document arrives unreadable. Embedding costs a little file size and removes the problem entirely.
There is one typeface and no picker, and the reason is worth stating because it is the least obvious part of the whole problem. To print Arabic, a browser has to map the shaped glyphs it drew back to the letters they came from, and with almost every Arabic font it cannot — so it writes shaped-glyph codes into the file instead. Eleven faces were tested this way, including the ones this site's own interface is set in. Most produced files whose text was unusable. Of the few that did not, all but one reversed the lam-alef ligature — the single glyph behind لا, لأ, لإ and لآ — which quietly breaks a search for any word containing it, and in Arabic that is a great many words. Amiri was the one that survived both tests, so it is always used rather than offered as a choice that could be got wrong on looks.
Mixed documents are handled per paragraph rather than per file. Direction is decided from the first strong character in each block, so an English sentence quoted inside Arabic prose is set as English without flipping the page around it, and Arabic containing English product names, dates or figures stays right-to-left throughout.
Your text is used to build the PDF and then deleted. It is not stored, and the file you download is the only copy that continues to exist.

Text to PDF — Frequently asked questions
I have Arabic text, not a file. Is this the right tool?
Yes — this is exactly what it is for. Paste the text straight in. You do not need Word, you do not need to save a .docx first, and you do not need to install anything.
Will the Arabic letters join properly?
Yes. The page is laid out by a real browser engine, so Arabic is shaped before it is printed: letters take their initial, medial and final forms and join into words. Converters that draw each character on its own are the reason you have seen Arabic come out as disconnected shapes.
Can I copy text out of the finished PDF?
Yes, and this is the check worth doing on any Arabic PDF. Open it, select a line, copy it, paste it somewhere else. Here it pastes back readable and in order, because the text is stored in logical order. Tools that lay Arabic out in visual order produce a file that looks correct and pastes backwards — which nobody notices until a CV screening system, an archive or a search reads it.
What if my text mixes Arabic and English?
Each paragraph gets its own direction, decided by the first strong character in that paragraph. So an English sentence quoted inside an Arabic document is laid out as English without flipping the rest of the page, and Arabic prose containing English product names or numbers stays right-to-left.
Why is there only one typeface?
Because only one of them produces a PDF whose Arabic can still be searched. When a browser prints Arabic, it has to map the shaped glyphs back to letters, and with almost every face it fails and writes shaped-glyph codes instead. The page looks perfect; the text is unusable. We tested eleven Arabic faces, including the ones this site's own interface uses. Amiri was the only one that came back as real letters with the lam-alef ligature (لا) in the right order, so it is simply always used rather than offered as a choice you could get wrong.
Will the font look the same on someone else's computer?
Yes. The typeface is embedded in the PDF itself, so it does not depend on what is installed on the reader's machine. Missing fonts are what produce the empty boxes you sometimes see in Arabic PDFs.
Is this tool really free?
Yes. Every Confileo tool is free to use with no daily caps, no watermark on your output and no credit card required.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can use the tool straight away without signing up or logging in.
Are my files safe and private?
Yes. Your files are processed for the task you requested and then deleted automatically — they are never shared or kept.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser, so it works the same on desktop, tablet and mobile with nothing to install.
