Finding alternatives to convert .RTF files while preserving checkboxes

Hi,

 

I am receiving a .RTF document via email that I need to read the contents of. Currently I am putting it through Google Drive, converting it to a Google Document, reading the document and then parsing the necessary information via REJEX.

However, when I convert .RTF to a Google Doc file it removes the checkboxes, and therefore I am unable to parse information.

My workaround is using CloudConvert to convert the .RTF into a .docx and then into a Google Doc, which is working but I have to pay for the conversion software. 

Are there any alternative options to help read the checkboxes?

Thanks
