Converting RTF to PDF

Post by calvinmicklefinger »

I have a series of RTF documents which I personalize for users by drawing their information from a database and inserting it into the RTF document wherever pre-set placeholders exist.

I would like to deliver these documents to the yser as PDF documents.

Can anyone suggest a methodology to use? As an added bonus, I am not a coder by any stretch of the imagination, so please talk to me as if I am a very, very, newbie.

Thanks,
Kirk

Hi, calvinmicklefinger
I don't Know what Rtf can accept as input, but if if uses as source xml generated with word or docx, you may try to use Altsoft Xml2PDF libraries (http://alt-soft.com)

Hello Exemper,

We looked at AltSoft's xml2pdf but it is limited to Windows servers and we are on a Linux server.

Thanks for looking!
