If you want to protect the contents of your RTF document better, you can convert it to image formats which can not be copied or modified easily. For example, you can convert rtf to bmp with the help of the command line application doc2pdf.exe which is the internal application of Document Converter.
Document Converter a software product that dynamically converts MS Office 97/2000/XP/2003/2007, WordPerfect, AutoCAD DWG, PostScript, Adobe Acrobat PDF and many other document types to Adobe Acrobat PDF, PostScript, EPS, XPS, PCL, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PCX, EMF, WMF, GIF, TGA, PIC, PCD and BMP formats.
Document Converter works in three internal applications—command line application, GUI application and virtual printer application. These three applications are for different purposes from different users. For example, if you want to make batch conversion, the GUI application is a good choice. If you want to develop new applications, you can use the command line application as your helper. If you need to save paper and ink when you print documents, the virtual printer application will do you a favor.
The free download website of doc2pdf.exe is https://www.verypdf.com/artprint/docprint_pro_setup.exe and you should install it on your computer.
The detailed steps about converting rtf to bmp are as follows:
Please open MS-DOS interface at first. You should open the start menu and click “Run” to open “Run” dialog box in which you can input “cmd” or “CMD” in “Open” combo box. Then please click “OK” button. You can also use the hot key “Window”+ “R” to open “Run” dialog box.
Then please input the command line into MS-DOS interface. The command line includes called program, source file and target file. You can see the following basic sample:
doc2pdf –i C:\FILEIN.rtf –o C:\FILEOUT.bmp
In the command line sample, doc2pdf stands for the called program, –i C:\FILEIN.rtf stands for source file and –o C:\FILEOUT.bmp stands for target file.
You should apply this command line sample to the real command line and all the element must be changed as their file paths just like the following example.
"C:\Program Files\docPrint Pro v5.0\doc2pdf.exe" –i C:\FILEIN.rtf –o C:\FILEOUT.bmp
In the command line,
"C:\Program Files\docPrint Pro v5.0\doc2pdf.exe" is the path of doc2pdf.exe.
–i C:\FILEIN.rtf is the path of source file.
–o C:\FILEOUT.bmp indicates the path of target file.
Then you are allowed to run the conversion from the document of rtf to bmp format image. When the conversion is over, the target file will pop up itself opened by the default image viewer installed on your computer.
