Shamil,
RTF Files are just plain old ascii text. So Low level File I/O will work to write it.
The biggest challenge would be to get the text string correct before writing them out to the file.
Here is a link to the RTF spec.

As for PDF, here is the link to the PDF Specs.

Hi All,
Has anybody seen on the Internet any advanced code samples of writing raw
text of RTF documents with different formatting styles, headings, lists,
tables etc. using VB/VBA/C#/C(++)/ <literally any programming language> but
without usage of ActiveX controls, without MS Word Automation etc. - i.e.
just plain raw code to write raw RTF like in P.S. of this message?
And maybe .PDF too? - or this latter is too much to have for free? - maybe
then good description of .PDF format in electronic form or printed as a
book? Any useful refs on that?
TIA for any info,
Shamil
P.S. Raw rtf sample
