# RTF to PDF
|
||||
|
||||
Convert Rich Text Format documents to PDF. RTF is a cross-platform document format supported by virtually every word processor. This tool uses a browser-based LibreOffice engine to render RTF files with their formatting intact -- bold, italic, tables, and embedded images all carry over to the PDF.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Formats
|
||||
|
||||
| Format | Extensions | MIME Types |
|
||||
| :----- | :--------- | :---------------------------- |
|
||||
| RTF | `.rtf` | `text/rtf`, `application/rtf` |
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click the upload area or drag and drop one or more RTF files.
|
||||
2. Review the file list. Add more or remove files as needed.
|
||||
3. Click **Convert to PDF**. The LibreOffice engine initializes on first use, then processes each file.
|
||||
4. A single file downloads directly as a PDF. Multiple files are delivered as `rtf-converted.zip`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
|
||||
This tool has no additional settings. The conversion preserves the original RTF formatting.
|
||||
|
||||
## Output
|
||||
|
||||
| Input Count | Output |
|
||||
| :---------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| 1 file | Single PDF download (e.g., `letter.pdf`) |
|
||||
| 2+ files | ZIP archive (`rtf-converted.zip`) containing one PDF per file |
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
- Converting legacy RTF documents from older word processors to modern PDFs
|
||||
- Turning RTF email templates into PDF previews
|
||||
- Processing RTF output from legal or medical software systems
|
||||
- Batch converting RTF files from a document management system to PDF for archival
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- The LibreOffice engine is loaded once and cached. The first conversion in a session takes a few extra seconds; subsequent ones are faster.
|
||||
- RTF files with embedded OLE objects may not render all objects perfectly. Plain text, images, and standard formatting convert reliably.
|
||||
- If your RTF files were created by Microsoft Word, you can also convert them directly with the [Word to PDF](./word-to-pdf) tool, which accepts RTF alongside DOC and DOCX.
