Citrus Get Citrus Convert PDF to RTF on Mac, offline
Need to turn a .pdf file into RTF? Citrus converts PDF to RTF right on your Mac, offline, using Apple's own engines. Nothing is uploaded to any server, which matters for client work, private photos and contracts.
What to expect
Citrus extracts the text from the PDF into RTF. Fonts, columns and images are not kept, and scanned PDFs without a text layer give no text. How to convert PDF to RTF
Open Citrus from the menu bar (the citrus slice icon). Drop your .pdf file, or several, into the window. You can also drag a file onto the menu bar icon to open the quick wheel. Choose RTF as the output format and adjust options if you want, like size, quality or resolution. Press Convert. Your new files appear next to the originals, and the originals are never changed. About the formats
PDF: PDF is the universal, fixed-layout document format.
RTF: RTF is a simple rich-text format that keeps basic styling and opens in almost any editor.
