rtf-filter reads a Rich Text Format (RTF) word processing file and outputs a plain text version with only line breaks and whitespace as formatting.
Ensure boost development libraries are installed. E.g. on Debian...
apt-get install libboost-program-options-dev
apt-get install libboost-filesystem-dev
And the C++ toolchain:
apt-get install build-essential
Then compile the code:
./configure
make
make install
The program will be installed as rtffilter.
You might need to install boost, so using homebrew:
brew install boost
If you discover a problem with rtf-filter, we would like to know about it.
