RTF2PDF

Hi,

general question in general group.

Can someone help me to find a dll that converts RTF (generated by word) to
PDF without word or acrobat installed?

It is for a tool that generates RTF (templates from word) and converts them
to PDF and sends it to our clients.

Some tips?

Tnx,

Pierre

parsing RTF is tedious.
generating PDF is easier and there are libraries for that on

Pierre,

I have recently completed working on a similar project with RTF and Word.
Everything that we did had to be server-side and originally had been done via
word automation - not a great idea.

So, I also needed to be able to convert RTF to PDF and found that this was
very difficult to achieve without automating Word (again!!) so I searched
around and eventually found a product called ConvertDoc. It's relatively
inexpensive and can be automated quite easily even though it's actual
interface is vary basic.

Might be worth a look for you as it seemed to be the best choice in an area
where there really isn't a whole lot of choice.

HTH - Good Luck

Pierre,

you could use List&Label, which is somehow overkill, but you might find
other features of it useful as well. Concerning what you need, you can add
an RTF control in
your List&Label "project", and print directly and silently to PDF.

RTF features supported are those of the RTF control (wordpad), not of Word
itself.

See www.combit.net
