PCL to PDF Software Development SDKs
Welcome! PageTech is the leading supplier of PCL Software Development Kits on the market. Our core technologies are incorporated into PCLTool SDK which can parse, index, split, streamedit, view and convert HP PCL into various raster and vector formats or print to any Windows printer.
PCL to PDF transformation technology is available in three PCLTool SDK configurations. The option you choose depends on your application requirements and the composition of your PCL.
PageTech PCL2PDF Exclusives:
1.) In 1993 PageTech, was the first to introduce PCL2PDF for DOS and Windows platforms.
2.) PageTech focuses 100% of its ongoing development efforts on PCL transformation solutions. Most other vendors with PCL2PDF products are more focused on AFP, Metacode or PostScript transforms. They are not fully committed to their PCL product line.
3.) PageTech is the author and original licensor of it's various PCL transformation technologies to OEM's and private label resellers. Several vendors selling PCL2PDF products are actually OEM's and cannot adapt or enhance their third party solution to your custom requirements.
4.) PageTech is the only vendor that can convert download HP bitmap fonts into embedded scalable TrueType typefaces when converting to vector/text/raster PDF's. This means we do not have to convert to a raster PDF just because the PCL contains custom download bitmap fonts that cannot be matched to available Windows True Type or Acrobat Multiple Master fonts in the Reader. Thus, we can create a small, fast and text searchable PDF - where others have to convert to a large, slow PDF.
5.) When we do have to convert to a raster PDF. We can make it text searchable by underlaying the text under the raster image of each page. And, PCL2PDF is the ONLY PRODUCT that can take advantage of the benefits of converting to JBIG2 compressed raster PDF's. JBIG2 is 30% the size of TIFF Group IV raster.
What our Clients are Saying...
"PageTech has been our PCL transformation tools vendor since 2001. Their tools have been among the most reliable of any software tools we have used. Reliability is critical, and we depend on PageTech products to speedily transform more than 150k files daily into TIF and PDF with a 100 percent accuracy rate. It is a big win for Quicken Loans to have one vendor who can provide us speed with accurate transformations for all of our various needs, and whose product is one we can place into production and count on to run without an issue.."
