Restrict RTF Document Editing via .NET
While saving the document from EML to RTF, you might need to protect your output document. Sometimes you may need to limit the ability to edit a document and only allow certain actions with it.

Document document = new Document("HtmlOutput.html");
// apply document protection and set protection password
doc.Protect(ProtectionType.ReadOnly, "password");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Rtf
document.Save("output.rtf", SaveFormat.Rtf);
