Firstly, let’s simply know what pcx is.
It is a raster image format developed by ZSoft; became one of the original bitmap image formats for the DOS/Windows platform; supports 24-bit color images, 8-bit grayscale and indexed color images, and 1-bit black and white images; compressed using RLE encoding. Right now the PCX file format has mostly been replaced by newer image formats, but is still used by some fax and scanning applications. Multi-page PCX fax documents use the DCX extension.
Secondly, we will print Office documents of xls to pcx with the help of the docPrint Pro, which is short for the docPrint Convert Professional.
The docPrint Pro has three main functions: the GUI Version, the Command Line Version, the virtual printer. Among these three functions, the virtual printer, the docPrint PDF Driver will be used in this process. It can print Office documents of xls to pcx.
