We want to convert RTF files to PDF via the command line on Linux. The RTF files contain Unicode characters escaped in the \uNNNN form (standard since RTF 1.6/Word 2000). Microsoft Word 2010 converts the files perfectly.

We looked around but can't seem to find a good solution on Linux. rtf2pdf.sh from Ted 2.17 preserves the layout but does not support Unicode characters. AbiWord 2.4.6 does not support Unicode characters either. OpenOffice 2.4.1 (and PyODConverter) supports Unicode characters but messes up the layout and changes the page count.

Any suggestions?
