Open .rtf with docx4j

[Lars10503]

Is there any way to open a rtf-File?

I tried:

WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new FileInputStream(new File(dataDir + "file.rtf")));

Or is there another lib wich can do this?

docx4j is for docx files.

You could first convert rtf to docx using LibreOffice. Or Microsoft Word, of course.

Thanks for your answer, but my Problem is that I get a huge number of rtf files from another system and have to automatically convert it into docx files with Java.

Do you know any way do do this?

Use LIbreOffice, driven by JODConverter.

See https://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/

At https://github.com/mirkonasato/jodconverter mirkonasato says:

I started this project back in 2003, but I am no longer maintaining it. I moved the code here at GitHub in the hope that a well-maintained fork will emerge.

see further https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... pB54AmCbfQ

and he doesn't seem to be accepting pull requests https://github.com/mirkonasato/jodconverter/pulls

So far, a well-maintained fork doesn't seem to have emerged, perhaps because jodconverter is pretty good as it is?

But maybe https://github.com/faquino/jodconverter is a contender?
