PCLReader

PCLReader Views Converts PCL Text into PDF, PDF/A, XPS, TIFF, BMP, PNG, PCX and ASCII Text. Once viewed, a PCL or Text 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.

The ASCII text can be extracted from PCL files for data migration. PCLReader is the first commercial quality PCL viewer/converter to be released as FREEWARE.
