PDF (Portable Document Format) is the file format that most documents, e-books and instruction manuals come in. PDF is basically a better way to compose and display text and graphics in the form of a document that can be viewed, printed and even electronically transmitted. However, the disadvantage of the PDF file format is that it can only be viewed using a PDF viewer and only be edited using a PDF editor as word processors such as the likes of Microsoft Word do not have PDF support.
In order to be able to freely play around with a PDF document, you are going to have to convert it into a format that can be processed by almost every word processor out there – RTF (Rich Text Format), for example. RTF is a file format for documents that can be viewed and edited in almost all word processing applications. However, converting PDF into RTF isn’t the challenge – doing so while maintaining every bit and piece of content and content formatting is.
Thankfully, there certainly are applications and other resources that can be used to convert PDF documents into RTF documents while still making sure that they retain all of their original content and formatting. In order to convert a PDF into an RTF document while making sure that it retains all of its original content and formatting, you can either use a third-party application that is designed specifically for this purpose or a website that you upload PDF files to and get converted RTF files in return from.
How to convert PDF into RTF using a third-party application
There are quite a few third-party applications out there that can convert PDF documents into the RTF format while making sure that they retain all of their original content and formatting, but there aren’t any that do it as well as these two do:
The iSkySoft PDF Editor
The iSkySoft PDF Editor is a PDF editing and conversion application available for both Windows and Mac. The iSkySoft PDF Editor has a free trial version, but once your trial period is up, you are going to have to purchase it if you want to keep using it. The iSkySoft PDF Editor is extremely easy to use and is more than capable of getting the job done, but what makes it special is that it goes above and beyond – apart from simply converting PDF into RTF, the application can also be used to edit PDF documents to make them better and even convert multiple PDF documents into RTF at the same time! In order to convert PDF into RTF using the iSkySoft PDF Editor, you need to:
Click here to download the free trial version (which can be upgraded to the premium version later on) of the iSkySoft PDF Editor for Windows, or go here and click on Free Download under the Mac version to download its counterpart for Mac.
Install the iSkySoft PDF Editor.
Launch the iSkySoft PDF Editor.
Click on Open…, browse to the PDF file you want to convert into RTF and open it.
If you want to, use all the tools the iSkySoft PDF Editor offers as a PDF editor to edit your PDF file before you convert it.
Navigate to the Home
Click on To Other > To RTF under the Home tab of the toolbar.
In the dialog box the pops up, specify the destination of the converted file and other preferences (such as which pages are to be converted), and click on Convert to begin the conversion.
Wait for the conversion to be completed, and once it is, the PDF file will have been converted into RTF and saved in the specified destination folder.
How to convert PDF into RTF through a website designed for this purpose
You can also convert PDF into RTF via websites that are designed specifically for this purpose. One of the best among these websites is the PDF to Word Converter from Nitro Software. However, as of an overhaul to this website, it can only convert PDF files into DOC files, not RTF, but that’s just as well because the DOC format (which is mainly supported by Microsoft Word) is just as good as RTF. To use Nitro Software’s PDF to Word Converter to convert PDF into DOC, you need to:
Click here to go to the PDF to Word Converter from Nitro Software.
Click on Select your file, browse to the PDF file you want to convert and open it.
Type in the email address you want the converted file to be sent to in the Email field.
Click on Convert Now to begin the conversion.
Wait for the PDF file to be uploaded to the website’s servers and then converted, and as soon as it has been converted, it will be sent to the email address you specified.
