COM was the major software development platform for Windows and, as such, influenced development of a number of supporting technologies.

An advantage of COM+ was that it could be run in "component farms". Instances of a component, if coded properly, could be pooled and reused by new calls to its initializing routine without unloading it from memory. Components could also be distributed (called from another machine).

.NET provides rapid development tools similar to Visual Basic for both Windows Forms and Web Forms with just-in-time compilation, back-end code can be implemented in any .NET Language including C#, Visual Basic and C++.

HTML-to-RTF Pro DLL is designed as a standalone solution, which does not require Microsoft Word or any other word processors to produce RTF conversions.

Once embedded, the component enables the application to convert HTML, XHTML to RTF, DOC and plain text in ASCII or Unicode, exporting webpages in English and non-English languages, such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean.

The original file can be uploaded into the application via form based file upload or via the form where the user needs to enter the URL address of the webpage to convert.

To produce an exact copy of the original, HTML-to-RTF Pro DLL uses its own conversion engine that accurately parses a webpage, recognizes all elements and converts to a clean RTF file.

The component converts everything, including HTML tags, font face, color, size attributes, CSS styles, full text formatting, tables, pictures in GIF, JPEG, BMP, PNG. The user can set custom page parameters, number of pages, margins, headers and footers. The end result of conversion is a perfect copy of the HTML document in a new format, RTF or DOC.

There are many uses for HTML-to-RTF Pro DLL, and one of them, for example, is to use the component to build an offline browser. More and more people these days rely on the Web as a research tool in the office, college and home, and there is a strong demand for Internet applications. With HTML-to-RTF Pro DLL, developers can build applications with HTML-to-RTF conversion that will help users to grab webpages, export them to RTF or DOC, which are more common for office applications, and read offline copies later, or use them for reference.
