  I am successfully using C1PDF to convert RTF PDF files. I have embedded hyperlinks (to files on an external website) in the RTF which all work in the RTF format. The RTF files are originally created in Word/WordPad (where the hyperlinks all work)

  If a link has the actual “link address” as the “Show Text” , the link works fine in the PDF.

  However, if the link has a different “Show Text” (e.g. the Show Text is “Click here”) then the link doesn’t work in the PDF.

  What, if anything, can I do to get those links to be retained in the PDF?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Somya,

  Yes, you can use our C1Pdf API to convert RTF text to PDF. To achieve the same, you will need to load your RTF string in the code and then draw it to PDF using the “C1PdfDocument.DrawStringRtf” method. Please see the attached sample project showing a simple implementation of the same.

  You can refer to the documentation of the C1Pdf for more information.

  Hi Somya,

  JFYI, we have 2 different products:

  (1) ComponentOne (https://www.grapecity.com/componentone)
  
  (2) Document APIs (https://www.grapecity.com/documents-api)

  ---

  The Document APIs have support for the file types mentioned in the links below, and then these files can be further saved ad PDF files.

  (https://www.grapecity.com/documents-api-word/docs/online/keyfeatures.html#:~:text=Supported%20file%20formats)

  (https://www.grapecity.com/documents-api-excel/docs/online/GrapeCity.Documents.Excel~GrapeCity.Documents.Excel.OpenFileFormat.html)

  (https://www.grapecity.com/documents-api-pdf/docs/online/KeyFeatures.html#:~:text=Supported%20PDF%20versions)

  JFYI, the GcWord API (which comes under the Document APIs product) does not have support for RTF yet. It is on the to-do list of the development team for further enhancement.

  ---

  The solution we provided in our previous response uses the C1Pdf API (which comes under ComponentOne product) and gives you the option to draw RTF strings in PDF.

  ---

  The PDF files you save can then be merged by using the GcPdf API (which comes under the Document APIs product).
