What the parser reads
RTF groups and Unicode control words are interpreted locally. Paragraph and tab separators are retained; font tables, embedded pictures and object destinations are skipped. Formatting, page layout, tables as visual objects and embedded files are not preserved.
Limits and validation
RTF files up to 10 MB are accepted. Group nesting is limited to 256 levels and recovered text to 5 million characters. A valid RTF header and balanced groups do not prove that every application-specific RTF feature was recovered; compare important content with the original.
