PCL Reader views & converts PCL to PDF, PDF/A, XPS,TIF, BMP, PNG, JPG, PCX and 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, or other type of PCL document from legacy applications that require PCL4/5/5e LaserJet printers. ASCII text can also be extracted from the PCL for data migration and archiving.
