Converting a bin file to a PDF is difficult because it depends on the type of bin file. A .bin file is a binary file that contains a wide range of data encoded in binary form, including images, videos, executables, and CD images.
There are dozens of different BIN file types, and at least some can be exported as PDF documents. This is usually the case for pictures or document files, in which case you can achieve bin-to-pdf conversion in their default viewer or editor that offers PDF export or at least printing capability (for Virtual PDF printer).
The bin file may be converted to a PDF if it is in a form that can be rendered into a PDF (such as a document or an image). However, you cannot convert the bin file to PDF if it is an executable or some other binary that cannot be directly converted to PDF (for example, a router firmware file). First, you have to identify the type of BIN file.
BIN file type examination
What data does the .bin file contain? Sometimes, the .bin extension is used for generic binary files, which could be anything. Knowing the source of the .bin file might give you a clue as to what kind of data it contains. It's impossible to help with conversion without knowing what's inside the .bin file. The .bin file may need to be analyzed in a hex editor or similar tool to determine its contents.
- If the .bin file contains a bitmap image, then a classic image viewer like, e.g., XnView, can handle the format and may be able to open it, and you could use the print function to a PDF using a virtual PDF printer.
- If the .bin file is a CD/DVD/disk image, it could contain a document. You need to mount the image with appropriate software (like PowerISO or MagicISO) and then access the document inside the mounted volume to convert it to PDF.
- For other document types, you may need specialized software that understands the format of the .bin file.
- Try to rename the file extension - changing the file extension from .bin to the correct file format (such as .doc, .jpg, etc.) may allow the proper software to recognize and open the file. However, this only works if the .bin file is misnamed.

After opening the file in its native application, you can save it as a PDF using its print-to-PDF feature or a Virtual PDF printer utility.
