VeryPDF PCL Support Legal Paper Size and Landscape Orientation?

Good Wednesday Afternoon,

I am using XXXXXXXX as a pass-through between legacy system printer and Laserfiche.  Within the XXXXXXXX configuration, I make a call to an external program, VeryPDL PCL Converter, in order to capture the PCL (from the legacy’s system’s printer) and convert it to PDF format. However, the report coming off of the printer is in Landscape mode and prints 132 characters across.

I was successfully able to perform this conversion using the VeryPDF PCL Converter GUI interface by selecting the following settings:
*    Rotate 90 degrees
*    200 dpi
*    Landscape Orientation
*    Legal Paper Size

However, when I try to recreate the settings I need using the command line functions for the VeryPDF PCL Converter, I am unable to get the Legal Paper Size to work.  The resulting file chops off data after 106 characters.

Here is my current command I feed to XXXXXXXX to feed to the VeryPDF PCL Converter:

pcltool.exe "-xres" "200" "-yres" "200" "-rotate" "90" "-pclcmd" ""\"-J@PJL" "SET" "PAPER=LEGAL\"""  "-pclcmd" ""\"-J@PJL" "SET" "DEFAULT" "ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE\""" "%F" "D:\temp\XXXXXXXX\Outputs\output.PDF"

I have also tried the “-width” command, which also did not work.  Does anyone at VeryPDF have any other suggestions for me?

Thank you in advance,
======================================
Please run following command line to try again, we hoping the following command line will work better for you,

"C:\Program Files\VeryPDF PCL Converter v2.0\pcltool.exe" "-xres" "200" "-yres" "200" "-rotate" "90" -pclcmd "\"-J@PJL SET PAPER=Legal\" \"-J@PJL SET DEFAULT ORIENTATION = LANDSCAPE\"" C:\in.pcl C:\out.pdf

pdfcamp printer

about Problem with diacritic signs and certain letters in PDF 64

Hello,

I just acquired a new program of PDFcamp Printer (PDF Writer) x64 version through your website.

I was surprised of the result when I used this new version immediately. Actually, I found problems with diacritic signs and certain letters (such as “e”) which are missing in the PDF 64 file, as you can see in the attached file which is my bill. Can you tell me if it is normal, and if so what I should do? Thank you.

Sincerely,
==============================
Please look at attached PDF file, this PDF file was created by PDFcamp Printer x64 version, everything is fine in this PDF file.

We are using Firefox to print the invoice page, what application are you using for printing? Are you using the IE?

VeryPDF
==============================
Hi again,

Thanks for your quick answer. Two points for your information:
*    I am using IE and my software for printing
*    Your attached PDF file is actually not completely printing the right side of the table, by the page margin. I think that it is because its format is US letter and not A4 as the one I am using.

Best regards,
==============================
The PDF file that I sent to you is the A4 paper, so you need print it to A4 paper size, then you will get the margins properly.

Just for checking, can you print the HTML file from IE to PDFcamp Printer x64 version to create a PDF file correctly by manual? Is this problem appear in your software only?

VeryPDF
==============================
Thanks for your advice,

Some new remarks:
1.    I printed an HTML file from IE to PDFcamp Printer x64 version to create a PDF file and it worked OK.
2.    I wondered at first if the trouble was not coming from the PDF software I used, a specific version that was initially installed on my new ASUS computer. I changed it for the regular Adobe Acrobat standard version and there is no problem of this kind since (for HTML files at least).
3.    As for my printer, as I just got another kind of problem with my printing head, I can’t print on paper right now, but I don’t think that the problem lies there.
4.    However, there may still be a question about IE under the 64 bytes version. In some instances, such as Java powered pages of an application like “XXXXXXXX” electronic newspaper, the printing through PDFcamp Printer x64 lead to the same kind of problem (a missing ”u” in this case). I downloaded a beta version of Flash player to use it with my browser but with no better results. Could it be Java, or the conversion to 64 which is not completely stable?
5.    I have been using PDFcamp Writer for a long time (in 32 bytes versions up to now) and it is the first time this happened. So, everything seems linked to the 64 bytes of the latest Windows programs.

What do you think about it?
==============================
I am sorry to intervene once more, but I kept making several tests today and changed somehow my mind about the reasons for the present situation:
*    Most current format files, such as Word, work OK with PDFcamp Printer x64 and older versions as usual,
*    The problem is actually concentrated on Internet Explorer, and more specifically on the HTML format file. When I convert those files into - let’s say – the RTF format, I always lose some elements and I have to make several formatting corrections in order to save them correctly. I assume it is the same when printing in PDF since the IE basis is HTML.
*    Thus, I wonder if the use of 32 or 64 bytes version of IE is that important. Converting the HTML format is still apparently the main issue….. unless you have some suggestions to offer me.

Thanks for your time,
==============================

docprint pro

docPrint PDF Driver does convert HTML file to PDF file without margins

We are having an issue with the docPrint Pro software. When we use it on a desktop computer with Windows XP, it generates pdf reports with margins. When we use it on our server with Windows Server 2008 r2 64-bit, it generates pdf reports with no margins. Please see my examples below.

This pdf was done on a desktop with Windows XP 32-bit Edition. Notice there are margins and notice the printing preferences options

Notice how we have all the printing preferences on the installation on Windows XP, including the option to set margins.

Now, This pdf was done on our server which has Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit Edition. Notice there are no margins.

Notice how on the server, we don’t have the same printing preferences options as the desktop, and we don’t have an option to set margins. This pdf was done on our server which has Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit Edition. Notice there are no margins.

I really need to get this fixed asap. This issue is severely hampering our business processes. Please let me know how we can resolve this. Thank you.
====================================================
Are you converting the HTML file to PDF file? If yes, please set the margins in IE application, then you can convert HTML file to PDF file with defined margins.

VeryPDF
====================================================
We have done that. That's the point. When we run it in Windows XP, the margins show up fine. When we run it in Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit , they don't come up. Both operating systems are using Internet Explorer 8 and we use the same margin settings for IE8 in both operating systems, that is why I am wondering if your program may have issues with 64 bit operating systems. Please advise how to fix this problem.
====================================================
Thanks for your time on talking in Skype, you can simple set the margins in the IE’s page setup option, you will able to convert your HTML file to PDF file with properly margins.

Also, I have mentioned this solution in the past, please refer to it at below,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are you converting the HTML file to PDF file? If yes, please set the margins in IE application, then you can convert HTML file to PDF file with defined margins.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe I haven’t explain the details of “set the margins in IE application” at that time, sorry for the inconvenience.

However, if you encounter any other problems with docPrint PDF Driver, please feel free to let us know, we are glad to assist you asap.

VeryPDF
====================================================
Thank you for your fix, and thank you for your time! After we concluded our skype/webex session, I went to my production server and tested this change there. It worked successfully! Thank you very much, and thank you for meeting at such an early time. I appreciate your help! Thank you very much!
====================================================
Thanks for your message, if we can be of any other assistance, please feel free to let me know.
