  1. Looking to produce PCL files from Word Documents, although only certain pages from documents. Printing the document to PCL seems to be the easiest way to achieve this.

    I have downloaded the Pro version of DocPrint which is working but it outputting each PCL page as separate files.

    Is there a way to output all the pages for one document as one PCL file.

    You can run following command line to convert your DOC and DOCX files to a multi-page PCL file, for example,

    “C:\Program Files (x86)\docPrint Pro v6.0\doc2pdf.exe” -i D:\test.doc -o D:\multi-page.pcl

    OR

    “C:\Program Files (x86)\docPrint Pro v6.0\doc2pdf.exe” -i D:\test.docx -o D:\multi-page.pcl
