Question: The PCL to PDF converter is adding blank pages to my PDF output, how do I prevent this? The PCL file, when sent directly to a printer, does not print any extra pages.
********************************************************************************************
Solution: When you do the conversion from PCL file to PDF by software PCL Converter Command Line, please add parameter “-noempty”, like pcltool.exe -noempty -append 1 C:\in.pcl C:\out.pdf then this matter can be settled.
Above I have showed is helpful for our old customers, if you are a newbie here, I guess it is necessary to talk more about it. So in the following part, I will show the detail steps for converting PCL to PDF without no blank page in the output.

As this software either can be used as GUI version or can be called from the MS Dos Windows. When you download it successfully, there will be an icon on the desktop.
Second, please go the containing folder and input the full path of this software in the MS Dos Windows. Check usage carefully on this usage and parameter introduction page. Then it will not be hard to execute the command line correctly.
Third, as we need to remove the blank pages in the output, the parameter “-noempty” is necessary. Removing the blank page during the printing, for one thing, it can save more paper and time, for other thing, it also can help you simplify the conversion process. This parameter is easy to be ignored but it is helpful especially when you need to do the printing job together with conversion.
