Yes, that is straightforward. You have an RTF document and you want to convert it to a PDF document.Originally posted by Rajan Samraj:
Our requirement is very simple if you ask me.
The clients will give us some letters in RTF or DOC format. We have to just save this in the database. Our application has to convert this in to a PDF format and attach it with the other PDF documents and generate an output as one PDF file.
This is where I lost track, too. I couldn't understand what the purpose of the intermediate XSL-FO step was. If you need to convert RTF to PDF, why not just convert straight to PDF? Converting to XSL-FO would be like converting your RTF to a Java program that produced a PDF file.Since XSL:FO is the general format to convert in to a PDF file we are converting the RTF file in to an XSL-FO format and converting in turn in to a PDF to get the output.
