If you want to stick with pure PHP, you can probably use HTML as an intermediary:

1. Convert RTF to HTML
   http://freshmeat.net/projects/rtf2htm/ , http://www.phpclasses.org/package/1930-PHP-RTF-to-HTML-converter-with-latin-character-support.html
2. Optionally: clean up the HTML

3. Convert HTML to PDF

You can use OpenOffice command line interface for that. Check my answer to a similar question.

Ted is the tool you're looking for. Ted brings also a script called rtf2pdf.sh you can execute by PHP to create a PDF file.
