Thanks for your message, you can use VeryDOC PDF to Vector Converter Command Line to batch convert PDF files to PCL files, you may download the trial version of VeryDOC PDF to Vector Converter Command Line from this web page to try,

https://www.verydoc.com/pdf-to-vector.html

After you download it, you can run following command line to convert a PDF file to PCL file,

pdf2vec.exe "D:\downloads\00008.pdf" "D:\downloads\00008.pcl"

You can resize the PDF page size to fit to target printer's paper size, for example,

pdf2vec.exe -scalex 95 -scaley 95 -offsetx 100 -offsety -500 -debug -paper pdf "D:\downloads\00008.pdf" "D:\downloads\00008.pcl"

If you have a special version of PCL Printer Driver, you can use that PCL Printer Driver to instead of default "VeryPDF PCL Writer" printer, for example,

pdf2vec.exe -printer "VeryPDF Series PCL" -scalex 95 -scaley 95 -offsetx 100 -offsety -500 -debug -paper pdf "D:\downloads\00008.pdf" "D:\downloads\00008.pcl"

You can call pdf2vec.exe from your C# code to batch convert from PDF files to PCL files, here is a sample C# source code t convert from PDF files to PCL files,

using System.Diagnostics;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
    LaunchCommandLineApp();
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Launch the legacy application with some options set.
    /// </summary>
    static void LaunchCommandLineApp()
    {
    // Use ProcessStartInfo class
    ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
    startInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
    startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    startInfo.FileName = "D:\\VeryPDF\\pdf2vec.exe";
    startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
    startInfo.Arguments = "-scalex 95 -scaley 95 -offsetx 100 -offsety -500 -debug -paper pdf \"D:\\downloads\\00008.pdf\" \"D:\\downloads\\00008.pcl\"";

    try
    {
        // Start the process with the info we specified.
        // Call WaitForExit and then the using statement will close.
        using (Process exeProcess = Process.Start(startInfo))
        {
        exeProcess.WaitForExit();
        }
    }
    catch
    {
        // Log error.
    }
    }
}
