RTF to DOC Converter
Description & Example
Rich Text Format (RTF) files are commonly used to store formatted text with basic styling. Converting an RTF file to DOC format enables broader compatibility with modern office applications.
The converter transforms an RTF document into a DOC file that retains the original text and layout. The file is stored on the server with a unique identifier, while the download link presents the original filename.
Key Features:
- Retains the text formatting and structure from the original RTF document.
- Produces a DOC file suitable for further editing in standard word processing software.
- Assigns a unique server filename using a timestamp to avoid conflicts.
- Maintains the original filename for the download link.
- Displays the size of the converted file for user verification.
- Provides a simulated progress bar during the conversion process.
Usage Example:
- A user with an RTF document containing meeting notes and formatted text uploads the file.
- The converter processes the file and generates a DOC file that preserves the essential content and layout.
- The user downloads the DOC file, which appears with its original name, and verifies the file size as indicated on the page.
