PCL Reader 64-bit 11.1

PageTech has released PCL Reader - the first FREE commercial quality PCL Viewer / PCL Converter.

PCL Reader provides end users the ability to view, extract/normalize and print pages of HP® PCL print files. PCL Reader also provides the ability to convert PCL files into PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, XPS, PNG and other file formats.
PCL Reader Features and Benefits

For those with legacy applications that can only generate PCL output and generic Windows application users with modest needs to print to PDF, TIFF or other file formats:

View PCL, then print it to any Windows printer driver. This allows users to print PCL on any non_PCL printer, like inkjet, GDI or even PCL XL-only printers.

Convert PCL into PDF format. Once in PDF format, you can send as email attachments, post on web sites or add to a document archive for later retrieval. PCL Reader also eliminates the need to purchase a PDF driver for any, which don't work on PCL file anyway.

Convert PCL forms into PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, XPS, PNG and other file formats. PCL Reader can convert PCL forms into other formats to migrate them as overlays into custom applications.

Extract all the ASCII Text from a PCL file. PCL Reader can extract all the text objects found in a PCL file into PageTech's proprietary .TNX format. Then, with TNXDumpG.exe (included) you can format the extracted text into any of 9 different text reporting formats for data migration.

Optimize PCL in various ways. PCL Reader can edit PCL printstreams for optimal viewing and faster printing.

Eliminate cost and need to "stamp" PCL. With PCL Reader, there is no need to "stamp" PCL with expensive, proprietary tools just so they can be viewed or converted by yourself or others.

Save trees. With PCL Reader, you can preview print files to make sure they look right before you print them. And, you can re-print only selected pages - instead of the whole file.

Features

PCL Reader improves the way you interact with PCL and your critical data. PCL Reader gives you the ability to index, search, retrieve, extract/normalize and view complex PCL.

Index/Search/Retrieve/View: PCL Reader can index PCL print streams, then search and retrieve specific pages for viewing.

Print to any printer: Once the PCL file is opened for viewing, you can print the PCL to any Windows printer driver. Once viewed, a PCL file can be printed to any Windows printer driver.

This is useful in when you have a non-LaserJet PCL printer and need to print a Mortgage Loan, Insurance or other form intensive legacy applications that requires PCL4/5/5e LaserJet printers.

Convert PCL: PCL Reader can convert PCL into PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, XPS, BMP, PNG, PCX and DCX file formats.

Split PCL: PCL Reader can split (extract and normalize) individual PCL pages into separate standalone PCL files.
