In PDF you describe the page as you want it and then it is rendered by iText to the final pdf. When generating RTF in contrast iText only adds markup to the text (font, colour, indentation, margin, tables,...). The actual work of rendering the text is left to the viewer application (in most cases MS Word, but of course also OpenOffice.org).
Certain special characters ("\n" - newline, "\t" - tab,...) are converted by
iText into their RTF representations, but that is all that iText does. No
rendering es ever performed.
In answer to the second question about horizontal rules. No. There is no
support for any drawing lines or other figures. The only supported graphical
items are images.
Greetings,
