RTF and PDF are very different animals. You could implement RTF as a 
simple (!) transform, but PDF requires
a formatting engine.  xmlroff (http://xmlroff.sourceforge.net/) is what 
you want, but it appears to have died (no news since last July).
Maybe you could pick up development of that?

It really depends on how sophisticated your formatting needs are.
