About RTF to PDF

Convert supported Rich Text Format documents into PDF files with our browser-based converter. If you have an RTF document that needs to be shared, printed, or archived, creating a PDF can make distribution easier. You can convert RTF to PDF directly from your browser, and the process creates a separate PDF copy of your original rich-text document. Rich Text Format to PDF conversion is useful when your document contains formatted text such as different fonts, basic styling, and paragraph formatting — you can convert rich text format to PDF without manually recreating the document.

Good to know before you start

  • Bold, italic and paragraph breaks are kept; embedded objects and complex tables are simplified.
  • Pages produced by this tool are drawn as images, so the text inside them is no longer selectable or searchable.
  • Everything runs in your browser tab, so the practical size ceiling is your device's memory — a very large document is slower on a phone than on a laptop.
