The HTML-to-RTF Pro DLL component converts HTML and ASP documents into good-looking RTF with tables, images and CSS or transform tables to simple text. An output rtf file is smaller than input HTML.
The DLL component doesn't require Microsoft Word or any other word-processors. The .Net version represents SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf.dll, created with only managed C#. Developers can work with our component in C#, VB.Net, ASP.Net etc. See code samples.

The Win32 API DLL and COM you can find here.

Component able to work with HTML strings and files. See properties and methods description.

The HTML-to-RTF Pro DLL .Net is completely standalone and supports:

- has 4 methods:

The .Net assembly is written on programming language C# and works on all Windows versions. (2000/XP/2003/Vista). The HTML-to-RTF Pro .Net is absolutely standalone and requires only .Net 1.1 or higher installed.

The component's size is about only 300 Kb, but speed of converting is: (for average 70 kb HTML)
