Frequently asked questions

What formatting survives the conversion?

Bold, italic, underline, font choices, colors, and basic paragraph formatting carry over reliably, since that's what RTF is designed to store. Very old or unusual RTF files from legacy word processors can occasionally lose minor formatting details, so it's worth a quick check of the output.

Why convert RTF instead of just keeping it?

RTF opens correctly in most word processors, but a PDF locks the layout so it displays identically everywhere, is easier to share as a final version, and doesn't require the recipient to have a compatible word processor installed.

Do I need an account or subscription?

Universal PDF requires a Pro subscription. One subscription unlocks every tool on the site, cancel anytime.
