This means that you have bytes like:
byte[] = { '%', 'P', 'D', 'F', '-', '1', '.', '4',... }

That byte stream is a PDF file; it contains PDF syntax.

So you want an RTF with content:
%PDF-1.4 ...?

Yes, that's why nobody answered your initial question.

ColumnText, direct content,... those are PDF specific classes.
Those aren't supported in RTF.

You can redirect those bytes to a browser.
They will show up as a PDF file.

But you only generated the bytes of a PDF file. You need a PDF to RTF
convertor to server RTF. Due to the nature of PDF, it will be hard to
find software that allows you to do that.

That's... the reason why you didn't get an answer earlier. Usually
people don't accept it when we say that their design isn't good.

You are using ColumnText! You are using direct content!

That's because you're asking something that is impossible.
