What version of Mathematica were you using to generate the RTF file?

The process consists of two steps:

1) Print the notebook, selecting a printer driver that emits PostScript
and specifying on the print dialog box that you wish to print to a file
rather than to a physical printer.  For best results, you may want to
download the free generic PostScript printer driver that is offered by
Adobe.

2) Obtain and install a PostScript-to-PDF converter program and
supply the file you generated in (1) as input.  

Below are two possible utilities you may want to consider.  They are

Adobe's Acrobat suite (not the freeware reader) offers a utility called
Distiller:
