Looking for a RTF to PDF conversion tool


I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a decent RTF or text to PDF creator/conversion program. I would prefer it to be a C or C++ program that I could install.

I found a Perl module, but I am hopeless when it comes to Perl.

The files would not contain images or much in the way of special formatting if that helps narrow this down a bit.

Thanks for any help!
-Bill

I am sorry that I did not elaborate. This will be installed on a UNIX box and be CL only. I do not have an X server to do this with and will be calling this program repeatedly to convert a large number of files at once from another program.

I think that I may have found a round-about answer. I will be testing it tomorrow. I will be trying an rtf to LaTeX converter and then converting that to postscript.

Please let me know if anyone has a better method than this!
