MacLaTex2Rtf

What is this?

MacLaTex2Rtf is a utility for MacOS X (10.3 or higher) that converts a LaTeX file to RTF (Rich Text Format). In fact, MacLaTex2Rtf is only a "GUI wrapper" around the latex2rtf software package, which does the real work.

MacLaTex2Rtf is available for free. No warranty comes with it. By using it, you agree that the author of MacLaTex2Rtf is not in any case liable for any damage or harm caused directly or indirectly by MacLaTex2Rtf.

Frequently asked questions

How can I get it, and how do I install it?

Download it from here. Then decompress the file by double-clicking on it. What you end up with is an application called "MacLaTex2Rtf". Move it into your "Applications" folder.

Unfortunately, this is not yet it. In order to use MacLaTex2Rtf, you have to install additional software:

• Install the Developer Tools (Xcode) that come with MacOS X (they are on the third or fourth CD). (Alternatively, you can download the Developer Tools from Apple's website.)
• Install Fink.
• Open the application "Terminal" and type sudo /sw/bin/apt-get install latex2rtf imagemagick netpbm This will ask for your password and then install all needed software packages.

Now MacLaTex2Rtf should work! Alternatively you can download latex2rtf from the SourceForge latex2rtf page, install it at the place of your choice in your system and then set the paths to your installed latex2rtf binary in MacLaTex2Rtf's preferences window.
