Convert rtf to pdf with good font and sharp images

Question

I can convert rtf to pdf in Microsoft Word (2004) using the Print function but the resulting document doesn't maintain the same font and the images look a bit hinky as a result.
I tried to convert from rtf to pdf in Acrobat 9 but it sez unsupported file type.
I just want a really clean conversion that keeps the images sharp and the fonts looking good.  Am I out of luck?

<!--- Because this example uses a fixed filename, multiple pages might try
to use the file simultaneously. The lock ensures that all actions from
reading the input file through closing the output file are a single "atomic"
operation, and the next page cannot access the file until the current page
completes all processing.
Use a named lock instead of the Application scope lock to reduce lock contention. ---><cflock
