In its original conception, the .rtf format was a specification for formatting text and graphics principally designed to facilitate the interoperability of documents and text between Microsoft document processing applications. It eliminated the need for specialized translation software required to open documents in different versions of MS-DOS, Windows, and Macintosh. The specification is a proprietary filename format first developed by Microsoft in 1987 to be supported in Microsoft word 3.0 and all versions of Microsoft Office Word thereof. The latest revision, version 1.9.1, was released in 2008 and also marked the end of any further enhancements to the specification by Microsoft. Through unformatted text, control words, control symbols, and groups, a piece of text can be encoded into an .rtf format. All RTF readers then process .rtf formats by separating and acting on control information disparately from the actual text in the document. Though the RTF specification is proprietary asset of Microsoft, several non-Microsoft programs support both reading .rtf documents and creating .rtf. Microsoft Office Suite is still however the most dominant application associated with this specification.
.bib is a text based file that's created when using LaTeX software. In short, it's a database of references and citations that help to create bibliographies, as well as keeping written citations consistent with each other. .bib files are formatted with BibTeX formatting, and often include information such as author, title, publisher, year, place and edition (although they can include a lot more). A .bib file is often used by authors and academics and is easy to search and navigate, saving the author time and minimising errors. The .bib files can be opened with a number of specific programs on all operating systems, including MikTex for Windows and BibDesk for Mac.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for RTF to BIB conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload RTF files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized BIB results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent BIB audio with dependable progress tracking.
Extended ASCII, PC-8, and ANSI are among the original character control sets used in the formatting and text representation of documents saved in the .rtf format. At present the format supports 7-bit ASCII characters. This formally allows the easy transfer of text documents between different computers running different operating systems and applications. RTF requires minimal computer resources and does not support macros. It does however have support for embedding some of the popular graphical format such as JPEG and PNG. Not all applications have support for these embedded graphical format thus .rtf files with unsupported embedded graphical images will open but will not display the graphical images.
.bib files are usually written in WEB/Pascal with BibTeX formatting, to make things easier, formatting style files can be created and programs such as custom-bib can automatically create style files for users. Many publishers and journals have their own style files, which makes it as easy as possible for authors to adhere to the publisher's bibliographic style. Because of this universal formatting, .bib files can be easily viewed on Windows, Mac, or Linux computers.
