What actually changes
RTF and PDF are not the same picture in two wrappers.
The RTF markup is parsed, laid out and written as fixed PDF pages with embedded fonts.
Worth knowing first
RTF stores images as hex text inside the document, which is why RTF files are startlingly large and why converting one often produces a much smaller PDF. It also has no reliable page model of its own, so page breaks land where the renderer decides.
Questions
RTF to PDF, answered
Why is my RTF so big?
Every embedded image is written out as hexadecimal text, roughly doubling its size before any compression.
Is RTF still worth using?
Only as a lowest common denominator between very different applications. For anything else, DOCX or PDF is better in every respect.
