The PCLTool SDK offers a range of tools to transform PCL into BMP, EMF, JPG, PCX, PDF Raster, PDF Vector, PMF, PNG, PWG, PCLm, TIF, and WMF. It supports HP's latest PCLm printer language and IEEE's PWG format, providing an enhanced user experience.
What sets PCLTool SDK apart from other conversion tools is its unique internal font engine. With this feature, users can rasterize fonts on-the-fly, creating either bitmap files (PNG, TIF, etc.) at various resolutions or vector files (EMF, PDF, etc.) with TrueType fonts to match those resident fonts in Windows and in HP LaserJet Series IV.
PCLTool SDK also boasts the ability to search multi-page PCL print files with up to three text strings, generating a hit list of all the pages of the found text strings. The user can then select which PCL pages to extract view and/or print. Additionally, PCLTool SDK can generate an index of the text extracted from fixed field locations on the PCL page.
For those who want to test out the capabilities of PCLTool SDK, a sample application program (PCLTool.exe) is included. This program exercises all of the functions of both DLLs provided. PTC32.dll does the conversion from the source PCL file into the target file format and creates a placeable and device-independent file. PTV32.dll can preview the converted file on the screen or it can print it to the current Windows printer driver.
Overall, PCLTool SDK is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a dependable tool to convert PCL files. With its unique font engine and versatile capabilities, it is sure to meet all of your conversion needs.
