Markdown to RTF Converter (with Obsidian Integration)

This tool converts Obsidian-style Markdown notes to rich text (RTF) documents. It provides a simple graphical interface built with Gooey and supports:

• Embedded image handling via Obsidian's ![[image.png]] syntax
• Automatic image and table resizing in the output RTF
• Intelligent detection of attachment folders based on Obsidian's .obsidian/app.json

✨ Designed for users who want quick and consistent exports from their Obsidian vaults.

🛠 Requirements

• Virtual environment with the following packages:

Gooey==1.0.8.1
pypandoc==1.14

---

🐍 Setup

1. Clone or download this repository.

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv .venv\Scripts\activate # Windows

3. **Install Python requirements:**
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Install Pandoc (required by pypandoc):

winget install pandoc

5. You can verify installation with:

`pandoc --version`

🖥 Building the EXE (optional)

If you want to create a standalone executable using PyInstaller:

pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --add-data "pandoc/pandoc.exe;pandoc" --windowed src/md2rtf_gui.py

This bundles pandoc.exe directly with the application. The script dynamically uses the internal copy if running from a PyInstaller bundle.

📂 How It Works

1. User selects a .md file from an Obsidian vault.
2. The script:
   • Locates .obsidian/app.json
   • Detects the image store path
   • Adjusts image links in Markdown
   • Converts the result to .rtf
   • Resizes images/tables
   • Opens the RTF in WordPad
