Question: I'm trying the evaluation version of VeryPDF PCL Converter and I can't seem to figure out how to convert my prn to PDF file. If I could get this to work I would definitely be interested in purchasing a developers license or SDK that I could use to convert these prn files I receive to pdf. I'm on a limited time frame so I'm trying many different products find a solution to my problem. The first company that can provide me with an answer that fits will get my business. Thank you very much for you time and I hope to hear back from you soon.

Answer: According to your needs, you choose the right software: PCL Converter which can be used to convert PCL, PXL PRN and other printing file formats files to PDF fast and accurately. And for this software, there is also developer version and SDK version, which allows you to call it together with the C#. In the following part, I will give some examples.
Step 1. Download PCL Converter SDK Version
- For uploading and downloading easily, we have compressed it to zip file. Once downloading finishes, please extract it to some folder and check the elements in it.
- When you open it, there are many elements. But it is not hard to find the folder of example_C#_1 and example_C#_2. Open them then you can check the code and example in it.
Step 2. Run the conversion from C#
- The following is the sample of C# from the extracted folder, please have a check.
#include <windows.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
__declspec(dllexport)
int WINAPI VeryPDFPCLConverter(const char *lpCmd);
void main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if(argc < 3)
return;
char szCmd[2048] = {0};
for (int i = 1; i < argc; i++)
{
strcat(szCmd, "\"")
strcat(szCmd, argv[i]);
strcat(szCmd, "\" ");
}
printf("%s\n", szCmd);
VeryPDFPCLConverter(szCmd);
}
If you need to know more, please check them in the download package. And there are more examples for VB and others.
For checking the result more easily, here I will try to convert PRN to PDF by GUI version. This software either can be use as command line software and GUI version software. The following snapshot is from the output PDF file converted from PRN.
