How it works

How to convert RST to PDF

  1. 01

    Drop your .rst files into the upload area, or click to browse.

  2. 02

    Upload one page at a time, or several and turn on Merge into a single PDF.

  3. 03

    Click Convert to PDF.

  4. 04

    Download your PDF to review, print or attach to a ticket.

01

Proper formatting

Section titles, bullet and numbered lists, tables, literal blocks and emphasis are turned into a neat, readable PDF.

02

Literal blocks kept

Code samples and literal blocks keep their indentation in a monospaced font, so examples stay copyable.

03

A README.rst, printed

Turn a project README.rst or a single documentation page into a PDF for reviews, handouts or offline reading.

Questions

Frequently asked

Which files can I upload?

reStructuredText files ending in .rst.

Does it support Sphinx documentation?

Standard reStructuredText converts well. Sphinx-only roles and directives, and files pulled in with include, may be skipped, so convert one page at a time.

Are images included?

Images that live in separate files are left out, since only the .rst file is uploaded. All of the text and formatting is kept.

How long does it take to convert RST to PDF?

Usually just a few seconds. Very large files can take a little longer.

Is RST to PDF free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermarks added to your files.
