To use text2pdf, issue the following command in a UNIX window, where myfile.txt refers to the name of the text file you want to convert:
text2pdf myfile.txt >myfile.pdf
Issuing this command will place the PDF output in the file myfile.pdf.
To view the PDF file you created, use the Adobe Acrobat Reader:

For more information, please refer to the man page by entering the command man text2pdf at a UNIX prompt.
