Robert:

Here is what could be done.

Download Ted http://www.nllgg.nl/ted” class=”bbcode_url”>http://www.nllgg.nl/ted and compile for your platform.

Use  the following command line: Ted –printToFile RTFDocFileName PostScriptDocFileName to produce PS file.

Use ghostscript to convert PS to PDF

ps2pdf

You might be able to string them together via pipe, but I have not had to do so, so you would need to research it yourself. I have been using Ted since last December to convert RTF to PostScritp quite successfully until last week Microsoft introduced a couple of new control words. I then had to “fix” RTF by removing new control codes and now everything is back to normal.

Bakha,

Are you running AIX ?

Our Cloverleaf instance runs on HP-UX 11.11.
