Hi all,
Can someone provide any inputs on how to convert a document from .doc format and save it as .rtf format using java.
I am relatively new in java.

Thanks & regards
Gaurav

Hello "Mr Lee"-

Welcome to JavaRanch.

On your way in you may have missed that we have a policy on screen names here at JavaRanch. Basically, it must consist of a first name, a space, and a last name, and not be obviously fictitious. Since yours does not conform with it, please take a moment to change it, which you can do right here.

As to your question, that's hard to do. You could use the OpenOffice Java API to open the DOC file and save it as RTF. Some links regarding this can be found in the http://faq.javaranch.com/java/AccessingFileFormats page; search for OpenOffice.

An easier approach might be to use the JODConverter library; it's also linked on that page.
