I would suggest using a2ps, and then pdf2ps to convert the postscript
file to PDF. a2ps can convert most types of textfiles into nice-looking
postscript. 

The one-liner would look something like:

a2ps -2 -o - /path/to/input/file | ps2pdf - outputfile.pdf

There are lots of flags you can give to a2ps to control the exact look
of the output.  Read the documentation if necessary.
