Reading rtf files

With my Macbook Pro I cannot read rtf files, neither with text edit nor open Office. How can I convert a rtf file into a pdf or doc file ? Is it the only way ?

Hi,
I don't know the origin. I suppose it was created on a PC with Word. But in fact this is a form which is filled. When I open the file (with text edit by default) I can see the form only without anything of the text filled. When I open with Open Office I can see the text but it is not located at the right place.
Excuse me if it is not well explained but I am French and don't probably use the right terms. Thank you in advance for your help.

How do I read .rtf files on a Mac?

I have a bunch of rtf files, but my Mac can't read them. Is there a way to read them?

In Mac OS X, RTF files can be opened with TextEdit.
To open them, right-click one of these RTF files and choose Open with > TextEdit. They should open correctly

Please use code tags while posting code. See the code button above the text area?
It's a good practise not to mix jdbc code in your jsp (mvc and all that you see)
Finally you'll have to quickly decide on your front end - jsp or swing. It looks like the former, but then with the code you have posted, the server is apt to pop up some windows prompting the user who has logged on (to the server) to choose the files for the client :)

Pages (v. 5.01) can no longer read .rtf files... Ughhhh!

Oh Apple. Please, please, please (I'm in a cold sweat), bring back import and export capabilities to Pages, like we had in Page '09.

We are all just end-users like yourself here. To have Apple "hear" you you need to leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu and review & rate the new versions in the Mac App Store.

Reading an RTF file in Java

Hi,
Can someone tell me how can we read the data from an .rtf files like we do with text files in Java.
I have seen solutions using Swing rtfeditor etc.. But I just need to read the data, I do not want to open rtf page.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you are not to "read" but to obtain bytes then you can modify this:
//try{
InputStream stream = new FileInputStream("cc.rtf");//file name is arbitrary
                                                                         //or BufferedInputStream can be used
   int n=0;
while((n=stream.read())!=-1){
            System.out.print(Integer.toString(n));
            System.out.print(" ");
    System.out.println();
   if(stream!=null) stream.close();
//   catch(IOException ioe){
//       throw ioe;
// }

Why doesn't read the RTF file?

Hello,
Could anyone tell me what is the problem with the following code. It would
read an 'rtf' file but it doesn't.
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import javax.swing.text.rtf.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Rtf extends JFrame {
String filein = System.getProperty("user.dir")
+ System.getProperty("file.separator")
+ "BG.rtf";
public Rtf() {
     RTFEditorKit rtfKit = new RTFEditorKit();
     DefaultStyledDocument doc = new DefaultStyledDocument();
     try {
          rtfKit.read( new FileInputStream( filein ), doc, 0 );
     } catch(Exception e) {
          System.out.println("Read error: " + e);
     System.out.println("doc.getLength: " + doc.getLength());
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new Rtf();
During the execution the following lines are the result:
Read error: java.lang.NullPointerException
doc.getLength: 0
Press any key to continue...
Thank you in advance.

If your rtf is made in word 2000 or newer version, rtf kit cannot read it and return null pointer statement

Reading the contents of RTF file

Hi,
I would like to read the contents of an RTF file which contains static text and place holders. The place holders have to be mapped to a database column(s) and once it is done I have to rewrite the output again to an RTF file. Is there any Java API directly available for this?

Hey! Did you ever find a decent solution to this. I'm trying to do something similar.
Read in an RTF file with some of the document already there, and embeded tags.
These tags will be replaced with more RTF (which I would like to generate).
Any pointers appreciated
Regards
Scott

Read external RTF file...

Is it possible to read in the contents of an RTF file and
assign those contents to a variable like we can do with a standard
text file using ReadExtFile?
I'm working on a peice that will (hopefully) read in the
contents of an RTF file and adjust certain bits of the text
depending on other variables...

I agree and this is almost always the way I implement
external text that
needs almost any sort of formatting.
With comments and tags, I can easily read in an HTML doc,
find and make
changes to blocks of text, and re-write the document back out
as needed.
I use the IE ActiveX control to show the file, though Apurva
had a
well-regarded alternative solution at some point.
You could also 'walk the DOM' to effect changes to the HTML
page via IE
and CallSprite functions but that's a bit more complex.

How to display a RTF file in the browser?

Hi there,
sorry 'bout my bad English.
My jsp page have to get a rtf file and show it. Just setting the ContentPage to text/rtf, is it a solution?
If not just that, what code I have to write? Let me know!
Thanks

I'm not sure if this can be done through JSP. You may need to write a servlet and set the mime type of the response to application/rtf. Then output the rtf text to the browser. Please let me know if you get this to work - I'm having a similar problem. Thanks.

Could not overwrite rtf file on report template in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I want to upload the rtf file for Bi publisher report. There is already an rtf file and I have edited the file and want to overwrite it . It shows that the only way is to delete the template and again
create the template by uploading the rtf file. I tried to overwrite the existing template with edited rtf but it shows the error. Is there any other options rather than deleting the template and uploading again for edited rtf file.
Thanks,
Virat

Hi,
it seems, sometimes everyone would like to draw a vertical reference line at the data date of a line chart, so I would like to bring this thread up again.
I assume, that there is no vertical reference line on line, bar or area charts, because of the following reason: The vertical reference line is made for X1Axis; that's why it's called X1ReferenceLine. Line, bar and area charts don't have any X1Axis, but a O1Axis (ordinal axis):
from Graph.dtd: "

<!ELEMENT O1Axis EMPTY >

<!ELEMENT X1Axis (ViewFormat?) >
There is no such thing as <!ELEMENT O1ReferenceLine EMPTY > in Graph.dtd.
Is there any other solution, why it seems not to be possible, to draw a vertical reference line on line charts?
Kind regards,
Tobias
ps: Regarding the difference between X-Axis and ordinal axis, I take the explanation from http://goorman.free.fr/ZedGraph/zedgraph.org/wiki/index1240.html?title=What_does_%27Ordinal%27_mean%3F .

Show rtf file with header and footer in Editor

hi
I want to open an rtf file which contains header and footer.The file i got is opened but the header and footer are not there.these all done with Editor.Please kindly go thru this and give me a solution.

Hello,
when you do yourEditorPane.getStyledDocument().dump(System.out), if you don't see and footer or header, you must write your own RTFEditorKit, but you must know how an RTF file is coded (but i don't know this coding...)
