n2pdf uses RTF format to convert Notes Rich text content into a PDF file. On the one hand this makes it possible to create complex structures for the PDF files. On the other hand, however, this results in some elements from the "world of Notes" only being partially moved into the PDF file or not at all. n2pdf accomplishes the conversion of Notes Rich text content into the RTF format using a proprietary export filter. We are doing everything we can to continually improve this export filter.
Here is a list of Notes content that the current version can convert:
Fonts
| • | Font style (normal, bold, italic, underlined, strikethrough, superscript and subscript) |
Paragraph Alignment
| • | Alignment (left, right, centered and justified) |
| • | First line (normal, indent, outdent) |

Paragraph Margins
| • | Margins: left and right (absolute and percentage values) |
| • | Tab: left, right, centered, decimal |
| • | Page break (general, page break before paragraph, keep paragraph on one page) |

Sections

| • | OLE objects (as visible in Notes document; accepted only as a graphic) |
Note: In addition to these listed Notes contents, other properties or elements may in part be applied, although they might not be accepted correctly or in their entirety.
Note: It is not always possible to compute properties that contain formulas. Since the export runs in the back end and bears no reference to a client or other documents, such formulas cannot be computed.
