Since Q2 2014, the installation of the Telerik® UI for ASP.NET AJAX suite provides you with the Telerik.Windows.Document assemblies, which can be used for conversion from HTML to DOCX or RTF and vise-versa. Information about the provided libraries, their purpose and how to get them is available in the Included Assemblies article.
The Telerik document processing libraries support .NET Framework versions 4.0 and above.As of Q3 2014 the RadEditor export/import to RTF is not supported under .NET 3.5.
