Cannot show RTF image in Pages and Safari for iOS
Does Pages and Safari for iOS support RTF image?
Does Pages and Safari for iOS support RTF image?
Although RTF is Rich Text format, the RTF specification itself allows including image, and so far we observed that the image can be displayed in MS word and some other 3rd party word processor, but it cannot be displayed in Pages / Safari for iOS when we open the same RTF file there.
There are two categories of RTF documents:
Apple Pages v8.2.1 on the Mac can open all of these, but the 2.2 category of documents are opened showing only the text content. These 2.2 category documents will appear in Quick Look as a black window with white text and no image, even if the image is .png in the document. They also cannot be opened and shown by Preview at all.
Based on the above, no version of Pages on Mac, iOS, or iCloud will display images in any RTF document that is not in a proper RTFD package folder document that these applications were designed to process (with images).
In the Finder, you can control-click on that RTF document with images, and if there is no Show Package Contents menu item, it is not a document that will reveal images when opened by any Pages application.
Safari can open and display images, or web content, including .svg content — but is not designed to open word processing documents (e.g. RTF) with images in them. These are simply unselectable with Safari 13.0.5 on macOS.
Hi... RTF is Rich Text Format, where are you getting image from?
Ah, I get it now, thanks. :)
The great VikingOSX seems to have you covered.
