PCLTool SDK Option III is a software for converting complex PCL to vector or raster PDF formats, including PDF/A compliant output. It also extracts ASCII text and supports converting into raster XPS format.

One noteworthy feature of PCLTool SDK Option III is that it can extract text from virtually any PCL file, even those with "scrambled" text or rasterized text (with 1-2 hrs. of OCR processing). If you later need to customize the transformation process, like adding logos, barcodes or OMR marks, upgrading to Option V or Option I is always an option.
The latest release of this software includes support for HP's new PCLm / PCLmS printer language and IEEE's Printer Work Group's multi-page PWG raster format. Both are new print file formats that support print job ticketing metadata. These printer description languages are particularly useful for mobile or cloud-based applications that need to print to the closest compatible printer from resource-limited, mobile devices.
PCLTool SDK is a technology that allows businesses, financial institutions, and printing / mailing / imaging service providers to develop a wide range of document imaging, output management, and print stream optimization solutions. While PCL software applications are not typically an out-of-the-box solution, their team encourages users to call them directly at (+1) 858 794-6884 and describe their application workflow. This way, they can assist in finding the best solution, saving users time and money.
Version 15.0: PCLTool SDK V15 offers many new features and functions including a new text extraction method that can unscramble Chinese and other double-byte print streams back into legible Unicode or UTF-8 text.
