Re^4: How to edit a PCL file

These are electronic documents created by the HP printer because the documents mentions the X and Y co-ordinates for cursor position before the actual data that needs to be printed on page. The files I've is PCL version 5.

Again, %-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL, this means that this is a version 5 PCL file.

These documents are created by a virtual printer. Instead of printing these documents on paper, these files are converted as .pcl files.	[reply]

Yes precisely. As you suggested, I'm reading about Win32::OLE. But, we've been just provided with the final PCL files for editing. That aside, I'd like to figure out how the source application could be automated. If this is a good option, may be I could talk to the client. Thanks.	[reply]

Can this virtual printer produce a pdf. Editing PDFs is pretty well understood.	[reply]
