There might be an easier way, but I always just dump it through my cups-pdf device.

Look at text2pdf

http://www.eprg.org/pdfcorner/text2pdf/

Also, most word editor can convert to pdf.
Maybe there is a way to run a word processor
by command line???

Here's what I would do:

1) print text to postscript file
2) ps2pdf filename.ps filename.pdf


ps2pdf input.ps output.pdf
