About RTF (Rich Text Format)
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987. Unlike proprietary binary formats, RTF is text-based and designed for cross-platform document interchange. It supports basic formatting features including fonts, colors, bold/italic text, tables, and embedded images.

RTF remains widely used in legal, medical, and government workflows due to its simplicity, universal compatibility, and the fact that it can be opened by virtually any word processor. For final distribution or archival, converting RTF to PDF ensures the document's appearance is preserved exactly as intended, regardless of the viewer's software.
