Frequently asked questions
Which programs write RTF files?
Almost all of them: WordPad and TextEdit use it as their rich format, Word, LibreOffice and Pages can save it, and many business systems export letters and reports as RTF. Files from any of these convert.
Will the formatting survive?
Yes — fonts, sizes, colours, bold and italic, paragraph alignment and spacing, bulleted and numbered lists, tables with merged cells, embedded pictures and links all come through, laid out by a full word-processor engine.
Is my file uploaded?
It is sent to the conversion engine over an encrypted connection, converted, and deleted the moment your PDF is made — nothing is stored, logged or shared. If the engine is ever unreachable, the tool converts in your browser instead and tells you so.
Can it handle RTF files in other languages?
Yes. RTF stores text in many old code pages — Central European, Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese, Chinese — and each is decoded correctly, along with Unicode text.
Is the text selectable in the PDF?
Yes. The PDF carries real text that can be searched and copied, not a picture of the page.
Good to know: Old Windows drawing objects (WMF/EMF pictures) are converted by the server engine but left out by the browser fallback, which also skips page headers and footers. Everything else — text, formatting, lists, tables and PNG/JPEG pictures — is kept on both.
