  Description     : Convert RTF files to PDF format

(Include the long description here.)

[ http://www.pathcom.com/~kujira/pdf7.htm ]

RTF stands for Rich Text Format, and is a format for encoding
formatted text and graphics in a file. One of the nice things about
RTF is that it's very portable -- you can create an RTF in Word on a
Macintosh and open the file with StarOffice on Linux with little or no
change. While there are a number of files to convert RTF to HTML,
there are few RTF to PDF converters.

One that works well is a script named rtf2pdf.sh. It uses the Ted RTF
editor and Ghostscript to perform the conversion. The resulting PDF
isn't too bad. However, you need Ted installed for the script to work.

Usage:

	rtf2pdf name of RTF file name of PDF file

For example:

	rtf2pdf doc1.rtf doc1.pdf

While the script's documentation says that you can omit the name of
the PDF file, every time I've done that the conversion fails.

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

reopen 307828
thanks bts

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
307828@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
