Overview of Publishing to RTF
The export capabilities of Arbortext let you use Arbortext Styler to create Export stylesheets, preview RTF versions of XML documents and publish XML documents as RTF files. The published RTF documents can be opened in any application supporting RTF files, such as FrameMaker, Interleaf, or Word. The Export stylesheet is typically not unique to RTF output. It can be an existing stylesheet currently used for other outputs that is updated to include RTF-specific information.
It should be noted that you may notice differences if you compare published print or PDF outputs with published RTF outputs of the same document.PTC Arbortext does not, and cannot, guarantee page fidelity between PDF, print, and RTF output. There are too many variables between publishing formats, applications that display those formats, and versions of the applications which are used as the viewers to be able to ensure identical output in all formats.
System requirements
