How to Convert RTF to JPG in JavaScript

Performing manual conversions between document and image formats is not the easiest task; if you are struggling with the process, you are not alone. Rich Text Format documents can be particularly challenging, as they can be easily corrupted when saved in the wrong application. In this brief tutorial, we will demonstrate how to simplify the conversion from RTF to JPG/JPEG, by setting up an API in JavaScript.

Let’s start things off by running this command to install jQuery:

bower install jquery

Next, we can call the function with the following code:

var form = new FormData();
form.append("inputFile", fileInput.files[0], "file");
var settings = {
     "url": "https://api.cloudmersive.com/convert/rtf/to/jpg",
     "method": "POST",
     "timeout": 0,
     "headers": {
          "quality": "<integer>",
          "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
          "Apikey": "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE"
     },
     "processData": false,
     "mimeType": "multipart/form-data",
     "contentType": false,
     "data": form
};
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
     console.log(response);
});

This will convert your RTF to an array of JPG/JPEG images, one for each page. Easy!
