The RTF2PDF component inherits all properties and methods of PDFControl.

 

It adds methods to load, manage and export RTF files to PDF.

 

To convert a RTF file you first load it and then export it.

 

System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog OpenDia =

new System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog();

OpenDia.Filter = "RTF Files|*.RTF";

if(OpenDia.ShowDialog()==

    System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)

{

 rtF2PDF1.LoadRTF(OpenDia.FileName);

 rtF2PDF1.Export("C:\\Test.PDF");

  }

 

 

//Loads a RTF file

public void LoadRTF(String FileName)

 

//Loads RTF from a string

public void LoadRTFString(String RTFFormat)

 

//Appends RTF from a string

public void AppendRTFString(String RTFFormat)

 

//Saves the RTF file

public void SaveRTF(String FileName)

 

//Appends RTF file to the data stored in the RTF Engine

public void AppendRTF(String FileName)

 

//Converts <fieldnames> in the loaded RTF data into the special fields

//(insertpoints) which can be used for mailmerge.

public void MergePrepare()

public void SetColumns(int Value)

public void Export()
