This quick tutorial describes the process of how to convert RTF to PDF using C++ by providing instructions to configure the environment and a runnable code in C++ along with the information about the necessary header files and namespaces. While writing RTF to PDF converter using C++, we will learn the loading of the source RTF file and then create the customized PDF file by setting the color mode for rendering the contents. In the end, the output PDF file generated by the C++ code will be saved on the disk.

Steps to Convert RTF to PDF using C++

1. Add a reference to Aspose.Words.Cpp library into the application using the NugGet package manager
2. Include the required header files and necessary namespaces
3. Load the source RTF file into Document class object for conversion to PDF in C++
4. Create PdfSaveOptions class object to customize the output PDF file
5. Set the output PDF file color mode for rendering the contents to the PDF
6. Save the output PDF file using the desired configurations

These steps provide the reference to the required resources for the environment configuration and ordered sequence of steps to convert rich text document to PDF using C++. Once all the required headers files are added and the necessary namespaces are included, we will load the source RTF file using the Document class object that can load it in a variety of ways like loading from a stream or using the LoadOptions class object to control the file loading process. Finally, the customized PDF file is saved on disk by setting the color mode property however there are a lot of other options available in the PdfSaveOptions class.

Code to Change RTF to PDF using C++

This code transforms rich text format to PDF using C++ by creating and using PdfSaveOptions class objects. We have used PdfSaveOptions class that contains a lot of other properties like set_Compliance() to set output PDF standard compliance level, set_DigitalSignatureDetails() to set details of signing the PDF, set_DisplayDocTitle() to set the document title while displaying it in a viewer to name a few.
