Convert RTF to PDF
 

Hi there,

is there a possibility to convert RTF documents into PS or PDF files from commandline?
I guess it could work with CUPS, but I don't know how.

Can anybody help me?

You could use Ted (www.nllgg.nl/Ted) from the command line, using rtf2pdf.sh. Have a read of the Ted documentation at ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/editors/ted/T..._to_invoke_Ted.

Take a look at

Install Ted then use rtf2pdf.sh
 

sudo apt-get install ted

/usr/share/ted/Ted/rtf2pdf.sh source-file dest-file

Works great!

I am getting the hidden text from RTF in the converted PDF.
Is it possible to hide or remove the hidden text of RTF in the converted PDF file ?

Instead of the commandline, why not just use OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice?

Libreoffice rocks
 

Well, i switched to Libreoffice4.2 now, and it is able to hide the hidden text of RTF file.
I am able to execute libreoffice via command from php code, and it works well:

shell_exec('libreoffice4.2 --headless --invisible --norestore --convert-to pdf test.rtf');
