Looking for freeware command line text to PDF
AzureToad:
I found TXT2PDF referenced in a couple places, including this DonationCoder post, and I tried pulling a copy from VeryPDF.com, but was blocked (unsafe?).
Does anyone have experience with a freeware CLI text-to-PDF converter that can be run from a Windows batch script? And a URL to a "safe" download would be fab!
Lintalist:
Pandoc? https://pandoc.org/
Curt:
^ Pandoc needs 3'rd party application, before it can create pdf.

Yeah, I'm running the Tex Live Installer now, even as we speak. Holy smoke, about 1/3 of the way through install and it's only been... let's see... an hour and 5 minutes! :huh:
I don't think I've EVER seen an install take this long!
Shades:
Pandoc can be quite daunting to get the conversion right. Lots of features and options to choose from. MikTex is another software piece to try with Pandoc. Was a 200MByte download at the time, but worked well enough for what I needed it to do.
At least it wasn't an online installer, which can be affected by anything and waste a lot of time.
