NSAttributedStringMBS.RTFDFileWrapperFromRange(offset as Integer, length as Integer, documentAttributes as dictionary = nil) as NSFileWrapperMBS

offset and length: The range.
documentAttributes: A required dictionary specifying the document attributes. The dictionary contains values from Document Types and must at least contain NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute. If there are no document-level attributes, dict can be nil.

Returns a file wrapper containing the RTFD data.

The file wrapper also includes the document-level attributes in docAttributes, as explained in RTF Files and Attributed Strings.
Raises an NSRangeException if any part of aRange lies beyond the end of the receiver’s characters.
You can save the file wrapper using the NSFileWrapper method writeToFile.
