PCLReader Views & Converts PCL & Text into PDF, PDF/A, XPS, TIFF, BMP, PNG, PCX and ASCII Text. Once viewed, a PCL or Text file can be printed to any Windows printer driver. This is useful when you have a non-LaserJet PCL printer and need to print an invoice, loan, insurance or other type of document from legacy applications that require PCL4/5/5e LaserJet printers.

The ASCII text can also be extracted from the PCL file for data migration and archiving purposes. PCLReader is the first commercial quality PCL viewer/converter to be released as FREEWARE.

* Convert PCL or Text into PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, PNG and other formats.
* Saves paper by previewing PCL print files before you print them.
* Split PCL files.

PCLReader is a limited, subset of PageTech's PCLWorks Program ($89) to showcase what the commercial products can do. PCLWorks can convert PCL into very small JBIG2 compressed raster or vector/text PDF and PDF/A files. As well as, PCL to TIFF, PNG, XPS, BMP, PCX, DCX, WMF and EMF formats.

The majority of PageTech's business is derived from licensing its various PCLTool SDK ($495 - $3,995) options. PCLTool SDK Options include writing your own programs, using our API, or, for rapid application development, PCLXForm program with its own custom scripting language. V9.0 of the SDK now includes Windows .Net, 64-bit, and 64-bit .Net versions of its major PCL conversion programs.
