Hello!

I'm working on a project that requieres sending letters in PDF with a
customized layout from a web application. The layout templates come
from MS Word and therefore are given in RTF format.

Is there a Java library for
1) Getting data from the application in the RTF template, and
2) Converting that RTF to PDF?

All the RTF->PDF converters I could find so far didn't work for the
templates that I have.
But even an answer to the first question would help, since I could
perhaps use Adobe Acrobat to PDF creation.

Greetings,
Dimitri

I just evaluated a product from Novosoft called rtf2fo (
http://rtf2fo.com/index.html) which takes an rtf file and generates
intermidate FO which you can then use the apache fop library to
generate PDF. Unfortunately, the resulting PDF didn't look like the
RTF. It complained about Unsupported columns of different widths and
the spacing was not the same as the original. You may have better
luck.
