I am trying to create a PDF from a text file. I am having fomatting issues. When I open the PDF it uses word wrap to wrap the rest of the line onto the next. Is there a way to fix this and keep it all on one line.

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
Your PDF is a product of the original file. Check your original file for page sizes and margins. It may be that although your text editor does not wrap the test during editing, that it performs this fuction to match a default paper size when you print. If you can change the paper size to the output that you want that may solve your problem.

good luck

Thanks. I changed the margin's and page layout, saved and closed, but when I went back in it went back to the default settings. Is there a way to save those settings and make those the default settings because I cannot manually open every file and do it everytime.

Thanks!

what program are you using to edit the file? Maybe the solution to your problem is to use a more standardized editor.

I ended up using word, and creating a word object in vba and changed the settings.

Thanks for your help!
