PCL Conversion Technology

PageTech's PCLTool SDK is an industry exclusive dynamic link library (DLL) that converts HP PCL text and vector files into bitmap formats (in-memory TIFF Gp4, in-memory DIB, PCX, DCX, BMP, JPG, XPS and TIF) or vector formats (in-memory GDI, PMF, WMF and EMF) with metrically matching TrueType fonts for those used to create the HP PCL print file.

PCLTool comes with a sample application program that exercises all the functions of our Transform .DLL's & Imaging .DLL's. All DLL's that come with PCLTool SDK are designed to fit into existing applications quickly and seamlessly.
