PGN to RTF - how?


I need a program, that exports PGN to RTF:

* Position before the first move must be given
* Annotations should not be given
* Variations should be in different colors, depending on level
* Name, source and date must be given (without tables and other bullshit)
* Diagrams should be in a chess font or in a small (PNG, GIF) format
* All positions should be extracted at the same time

Sadly, no chess program I found so far is able to do this:
* Fritz 10 doesn't give the initial position (strangely enough, it let me access the option for printing but not for RTF).
* ChessAssistant 7 light gives me a table with the author's name and - even worse - doesn't copy the source ("event" field)
* Chess Genius 6.5 lets me extract positions one by one into different files and has a strange sense of line break.

Hi,

I use Chesspad application to do this. It can open Pgn files, and you can save it to RTF in "Games" menu and Copy as...

You can download this from here for free:

This is not useful since:

* One can only select one game at a time
* It gives me only the text in the PGN file, no diagram, no formatting

This doesn't work since it thinks Word isn't installed but I have Office 2000 installed...

no problems. Exist posibility for using this convertor without instalation, if it cant be installed. By example, i use this convertor under Office 2007. I maked an archive with 'readme' - You can take it: http://www.crestbook.com/files/pgnconvertor.zip
for using this convertor You need to open a PGN-file with Word (File->Open->Select *.* extension etc.). This convertor will be applyed automatically.

Dear readers,

since it is impossible, obviously, to convert PGN to RTF in a satisfying way, I'll use PDF995 and "Fritz" (not Jindrich) to convert the file to PDF. However, please keep posting!

Best,
Siegfried

If you could explain what way is satisfying for you (= formulate the task), someone can probably try to help.
