C# Is that possible to Convert byte containing .rtf document to byte containing pdf

I'm trying to send Email where content is a rtf document in database (column BLOB).

So, I get my document in byte type from my DB, but then I don't know how to convert the rtf content into a readable text for an Email.

byte[] text = itm.Doc;

body= "<html><body>";

using (var file = new MemoryStream(text))
using (var reader = new StreamReader(file))
{
    reader.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    while (!reader.EndOfStream)
    {
        body+= reader.ReadLine();
    }
}

But this of course, give me a rtf text, as the actual content of 'byte[] text'.

Can I convert my byte, containing rtf, to a byte containg pdf?

Thank you.

Here is the guide to convert rtf to plain text:

Update:
Try StreamReader.ReadToEnd() like this: 

using (var reader = new StreamReader(file))
{
  reader.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
  body += reader.ReadToEnd();
}

rtBox.Rtf = body;
string[] lines = rtBox.Lines;

mail.Body = "<html><body>" + string.Join("<br/>", lines) + "</body></html>";
