I would like to insert RTF text into a PDF including the text size and font information that would be in the RTF. When I create a document for a customer I want them to provide an RTF file with their current return address that I read then write into the PDF in the upper left corner and again where the return address will fit in a windowed envelope. I don't see a DrawRTFText command.

I tried converting the text to HTML and that works to the extent that the text appears on the document but it doesn't pick up the fonts or text size from the HTML and that's kind of the thing I need this to do.

Any ideas?

Bob

I saw those, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'd like to see a DrawRTFText command that interprets the typeface name, size, color, etc. and inserts that text into the document from an RTF string. I think what I will do instead is create a JPG of the RTF and use AddImageFromFile/DrawImage which will also keep the resulting file size down as I won't have to embed any fonts.

Thanks,

Bob
