Frequently Asked Questions

RTF (Rich Text Format) is a Microsoft document format created in 1987 that supports basic formatting like bold, italic, fonts, and colors. It's widely compatible across word processors, making it a common interchange format.

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and jsPDF. Your documents never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive content.

Text formatting (bold, italic, underline), font names, font sizes, text colors, and paragraph structure are preserved. Lists, headings, and basic indentation are maintained in the PDF output.

Yes. You can choose page size (A4, Letter, Legal), and margin settings (Normal, Narrow, Wide). These settings affect the final PDF layout and text flow.

Standard fonts are embedded in the PDF. Custom or specialty fonts from the RTF may be substituted with similar system fonts (Arial, Times, etc.). For best results, use common fonts in your RTF.

RTF images are not automatically converted. Images may need to be re-inserted manually. For documents with images, consider converting RTF to DOCX first, then DOCX to PDF for better image handling.

Basic table text is extracted and formatted as paragraphs. Complex table layouts, merged cells, and multi-column formats are simplified. For complex layouts, use a different source format.

PDF files are typically larger than RTF because fonts are embedded and the PDF structure adds overhead. Text-only PDFs are usually 2-3x the RTF file size.

Yes. RTF files created by Microsoft Word, WordPad, LibreOffice, or any RTF-compatible application are supported. Save your document as .rtf before converting.

Simplify the RTF document: use standard fonts, remove complex formatting, and break long documents into sections. For production PDFs with complex layouts, use dedicated PDF creation tools.
