You should try out livedocx livedocx.com . The latest Zend Framework 1.10 has a ready built module to help you out. You can read more about it at this place http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/template-based-document-generation-using-livedocx-and-zend-framework

If you want to stick with pure PHP, you can probably use HTML as an intermediary:

1. Convert RTF to HTML
   http://freshmeat.net/projects/rtf2htm/ , http://www.phpclasses.org/package/1930-PHP-RTF-to-HTML-converter-with-latin-character-support.html
2. Optionally: clean up the HTML

3. Convert HTML to PDF
