Convert RTF to DOCX format in C# and .NET



Document .Net can help your application to convert a document from a one format to another.
You'll need only to Load() a document and Save() to a desired format.


            DocumentCore dc = DocumentCore.Load("...");
            dc.Save("....");

Document .Net supports these formats:

PDF DOCX RTF HTML Text Image
Create/Read/Write Create/Read/Write Create/Read/Write Create/Read/Write Create/Read/Write Create/Read(OCR)/Write
