PCLReader is a software tool that enables users to view and convert PCL files to various formats such as PDF, TIF, BMP, JPG, and more. It also provides the ability to print PCL or Text files to any Windows printer driver, and extract ASCII text for data migration and archiving purposes.
One of the key features of PCLReader is that once the files are viewed, they can be printed to any Windows printer driver. This is extremely useful for those who need to print PCL documents from legacy applications. Additionally, PCLReader can extract ASCII text from the PCL printstream for data migration and archiving purposes.
PCLReader is designed for non-commercial end-users with legacy applications that generate PCL output and generic Windows application users with limited needs to print or convert PCL to PDF output file format. However, end-users with commercial needs are encouraged to try PCLWorks Live Evaluation which is available for download from www.pclworks.com.
Version 15.1: New features included in PCLReader v15.1 include enhanced abilities to generate raster and vector text searchable PDF’s and new functions enabling end-users to generate Unicode/UTF8 maps for double-byte language text extraction from PCL.
