HOw to proceed for creating PDF format files, i do have mostly txt

Why?  For printing?  Archival?  Fax?
 

  Nothing official Sanjeev,

 

google give me some commercial tools/script leaving in footer

Pls advice me or provide any link for program which is absolutely
GNU/GPL licensed.
   


For GPL, your best bet is a2ps .  You will get a PS file, highly
customisable (duplex?  n-UP?  footer?  margins?).

The ps2pdf conversion is trivial, and left as an exercise to the reader.
 

Right, a2ps -> *.ps , ps2pdf -> pdf, (a2ps)  is having full fledge of 
options...which anyone may hardly explore.
I found this questions on net.

Thanks

Be warned:  Text files converted to PDF do not look nice, the "beauty" of a
PDF page is in its layout.  If you have large files, with internal structure
(Chapters, tables, etc), the LaTeX route will give you much more pleasing
output.
