Editor's review
With its initial development in 1984 for the inkjet printers, PCL (Printer Command Language) has developed into an industry standard today as the most widely used printer protocol. Printers usually generate data in the form of print streams in order to print a file. There are a handful of applications in the market today for converting a document file of one format into another. But, you may also want to capture this print stream data and convert it into native text documents or other formats. PCL to PDF - Option V 64-bit/64-bit .NET v.11.0 provides an exclusive solution for this purpose.
PCL to PDF - Option V 64-bit/64-bit .NET v.11.0 by Page Technology Marketing Inc. is a program for extracting and converting data from print streams into the vector PDF, rastor XPS and the PDF formats. It is the only program which can convert bitmap HP fonts into TrueType fonts, known for its compatibility with PDF documents. It also features other advanced utilities like the Img2XPS, PCLCodes, ImgCvt, PCLTool, PCLXform etc. This is the latest version which supports both the 32, as well as the 64 bit .NET programming environments. In addition to this, if you intend to insert a standalone bar code into the PCL print file, you can easily achieve that goal too with the help of the PCL bar codes feature. This software development kit includes the ASCII text scripting language, which provides a quick way to develop applications for modifying PCL. The product has been made available by the developers in two different versions - a full version incorporating all the functionalities that the program can boast off, as well as an evaluation version with limited functionalities - purely for trial-purposes.
Overall, PCL to PDF - Option V 64-bit/64-bit .NET is nice application with handful of tools, utilities and a prompt support from the company for analysis and conversion of PCLs. Hence, it receives a score of four and a half rating points on the scale of five.
