PCL to PDF Conversion Software & Development

Since 1993 Page Technology Marketing, Inc. (PageTech) has specialized in HP PCL print stream transformation, typeface conversion utilities and other related PCL and imaging technologies. Our PCL Tool SDK is designed for developers who need to convert, manipulate and transform complex PCL. We also offer a GUI-only version of our SDK named PCLWorks for customers looking for something powerful, but easy to use.

Option I of the PCL Tool SDK has a industry exclusive dynamic link library (DLL) that converts PCL text and vector files into bitmap formats (in-memory TIFF Gp4, in-memory PCL to DIB, PCL to PCX, PCL to DCX, PCL to BMP, PCL to JPG, PCL to PNG, PCL to XPS, PCL to PDF and PCL to TIFF); or into vector formats (in-memory PCL to GDI, PCL to PDF, PCL to PDF/A, PCL to WMF and PCL to EMF) with metrically matching TrueType fonts for those fonts in the PCL print file.

The PCL Tool SDK Options that focus on PCL to PDF conversion are designed to fit into existing applications quickly and seamlessly.

PCL Tool SDK ranges from US $425-$995 depending on options selected. All prices are subject to reasonable restrictions and conditions. Custom licensing and custom modifications are available. If you purchase the PCL Works Program for US $79, $89, $139 or $157, a $50 credit can go towards the purchase of PCL Tool SDK if you need to upgrade at a later date.
