    Yes - but few run from a BAT file, few are free, thus my query to this
    group, hoping someone has a favorite that they will recommend.

    If you perform a Google search for:

    convert text to pdf

    You will get 5M+ hits.

    Which of those have you tried?

    If there are only a few that do what you wish AND that are free, it
    wouldn't be difficult for you to try them and decide on your own...
    hmm?

    This is the only one I can find - I hope someone can tell me of another.
    This one may not work out.

    I'd probably break the problem down into two pieces.

    This program offers to convert text to Postscript. It's been
    a few years since I've used this.



    Ghostscript has Postscript to PDF conversion scripts.



    It will take a bit of wrangling of paths and the like,
    to get it all working.

    You can see in this example, that some tools use Ghostscript
    as a back end, to do their conversions for them. So even when
    you don't see Ghostscript mentioned in the documentation, it
    could still be part of a product.

    Thank you, Paul, for an actual suggestion. I will try it if the PdfZillo
    doesn't work out. If it does, and it says it will, the task will be simple.
    But the instructions for the program are elusive.
