Good question. I have the same. It helps me in my work, I guess.

Use DomPDF:

https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf

accept the uploaded txt file
get its contents and run through nl2br() to create html <br> instead of newlines
use the package's loadHTML($contents) method to create a PDF from that text.
