 * Is there a plugin or script for :
 * +creating plain-text files (not just unformatted text display on the web page)
   of posts on the fly (say, when a user clicks a link to get a plain-text file 
   of a post); I know there are printable-version plugins/scripts, but I don’t know
   how to make it output an actual .txt file rather than just throwing it up on 
   screen.
    +creating html files (not just the web page) of posts (post only) +ditto
   for PDF and RTF +automatically stripping smart-quotes and other oddities that
   happen when you copy and paste from another web page or Word document
 * I know there are scripts that do this, but I’d like recommendations for either
   a plugin, a hack, or something you think has a good chance of working with WP.
 * When I search for this I just keep getting the un-fancy-quote plugin, which is
   why I’m posting.

 * For pdf there is a plugin, see
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/22098](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/22098)(
   I don’t use it, so I have no idea whether it does exactly what you’d like or 
   not)
