VeryPDF PCL Converter Issue

I am recommending the VeryPDF PCL Converter to one of our production printing customers.  I am having an issue with converting one of their file.  The PCL is attached.  The program converts the file with some artifacts up near the top of the page where data is missing.  I have used the converter on other data files from this customer with success.
Product: VeryPDF PCL Converter
Version: 2.0.0.1

Command Line:
pcltool.exe -rotate 0 -pclcmd "\"-J@PJL SET PAPER = letter\" \"-J@PJL SET DEFAULT ORIENTATION = Portrait\"" JetMail.pcl STANDARD.pdf

When I print the PCL to the printer the pages print correctly (except the bottom which is OK).

Any assistance you could provide would be gratly appreciated.
==============================
I have tried following command lines, they are all can convert your PCL file to PDF file without any problem, please refer to converted PDF files in attachment,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C:\>"C:\Program Files\VeryPDF PCL Converter v2.0\pcltool.exe" D:\temp5\JetMail.pcl
Conversion time = 8156ms
D:\temp5\JetMail.pcl ==> D:\temp5\JetMail.pdf, result=OK
TickCount = 8156ms(8.16s)

C:\>"C:\Program Files\VeryPDF PCL Converter v2.0\pcltool.exe" -rotate 0 -pclcmd"\"-J@PJL SET PAPER = letter\" \"-J@PJL SET DEFAULT ORIENTATION = Portrait\"" D:\temp5\JetMail.pcl D:\temp5\JetMail2.pdf
Conversion time = 1578ms
D:\temp5\JetMail.pcl ==> D:\temp5\JetMail2.pdf, result=OK
TickCount = 1578ms(1.58s)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m using Windows XP system, that system are you using?

pdf split-merge

PDF Split/Merge User Change

Support,

We had a situation with PDF Split/Merge that the server user had to be changed.  When that happened, the red watermark started appearing in the footer of the documents as if PDF Split/Merge was running in trial mode.  We opened PDF Split/Merge in interactive mode and it started processing in batch without the red watermarks in the footer of the documents.

Is this the process that should be taken if a user is changed?  We are looking for some guidance as to what should happen in this situation in the future so our production documents do not contain the red watermarks.
================================
Did you changed the user account after you registered it? PDF Split-Merge product is licensed by per user. You will need to purchase a license key for each user who wish to use the PDF Split-Merge product.

If you wish move the License for PDF Split-Merge product, please by following steps to try,

1. Please login your system under Administrator or your user account, please make sure that you have read/write privileges to system32 folder,
2. Please delete "pdfpg.dat" from your system32 folder,
3. Please run PDF Split-Merge from "Start"->"Programs" menu, and input your registration key,
4. Then you can split or merge your PDF files without watermark from current user account,

If you wish call pdfpg.exe from a web service application, e.g., PHP, ASP, C#, .NET applications, you need purchase the PDF Split-Merge Command Line Server License or Developer License,

https://www.verypdf.com/pdfpg/index.html#dl

after you purchased PDF Split-Merge Server License or Developer License, you can run pdfpg.exe to split and merge PDF files without any restrictions.

pdf to text converter

PDF2TXT converter purchase question

I am looking at purchasing your PDF2TXT converter.  I have downloaded and tested the basic $38 program.  I wrote a little application that calls the executable using command line arguments so this program will run once a day on one of our servers.  No one else from our company will use this converter and we are NOT going to integrate this program into an application and distribute it.  So I believe I just need to purchase a couple of the $38 applications…one for the server and one for my development workstation.  Is this correct?
===============================
Yes, you can call Command Line in PDF2TXT GUI version from your code to convert PDF files to text files, $38 version is the end user license, it can't be used on server for production purpose, if you wish use PDF2TXT on a server for proudction purpose, you need purchase server license, the end user license can’t be used on a server system, please understand,

docprint pro

docPrinter Pro issue on IIS

We were trying to use docPrinter Pro for conversion of documents into PDF.
But when try converting over IIS, it fails without any error.

But running it my local system , it works just fine. Is there anything which

should be done for getting it work on an IIS Server machine?
==============================================
Please refer to example 6 at following web page, you can use this example to
try again,

Example 6: Run conversion via "docPrint_Service.exe" application,

https://www.verypdf.com/artprint/docprintsdk.htm

Example 6: Run conversion via "docPrint_Service.exe" application,

Please by following steps to run conversion via "docPrint_Service.exe"
application,

1. Please login your server via Remote Desktop under Administrator user
account (or other user accounts who own Administrator right),

2. Please run "docPrint_Service.exe" application,

"C:\Program Files\docPrint Pro v5.0\docPrint_Service.exe"

3. Call RunCmd() method to deliver a command line to "docPrint_Service.exe" application,

PHP example,

<?php
$com = new COM("DocPrintCom.docPrint");
$com->docPrintCOM_Register("XXXXXXXXXXXXXX","VeryPDF.com Inc.");
$com->RunCmd("-i https://www.verypdf.com -o C:\\test\\output.pdf -* XXXXXXXXXXXXXX -d -O 2 -s ShowHTMLStatusBar=1 -l 10000", 0);
?>

VB example,

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Set docPrint = CreateObject("DocPrintCom.docPrint")
nRet = docPrint.docPrintCOM_Register("XXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "VeryPDF.com Company")
nRet = docPrint.RunCmd("-i https://www.verypdf.com -o C:\output.pdf -* XXXXXXXXXXXXXX -d -O 2 -s ShowHTMLStatusBar=1 -l 10000", 0)
MsgBox "Return value = " & Str(nRet)
End Sub

4. Close Remote Desktop and leave this user logged in.

*Please Notice: After you reboot the server, you need login your server via
Remote Desktop with this user account ("docPrint_Service.exe" was installed
inside this user account), and close Remote Desktop, leave this user logged
in, when you call RunCmd() function, the conversion will be executed from
this user account automatically.

This problem is caused by permission issues, you may give enough permission to Word DCOM to try again, please look at following web page for more information,

http://verydoc.com/doc-to-any-faq.html

also, in "Console Root / Component Services / Computers / My computer / DCOM Config" option, "Your COM Name" should equal to "Microsoft Office Word 97 - 2003 Document" in your system, please give enough permission to "Microsoft Office Word 97 - 2003 Document" DCOM in your system to try again, you can also run "Microsoft Office Word 97 - 2003 Document" DCOM from an interactive user account to solve the permission restrictions in default system account.

VeryPDF
===========================

Thanks for your help.

The solution you suggested for PHP worked for me. Now i am able to convert doc, docx, xls, xlsx. But Still have not got any solution for .pptx files.

Is there any other solution i have to apply for pptx?
===========================
The same code should support PPTX document without any problem.

Just for test purpose, can you run following command line to convert your PPTX document to PDF file correctly?

"C:\Program Files\docPrint Pro v5.0\doc2pdf.exe" -i C:\test.pptx -o C:\out.pdf

Can you work fine when you run above command line by manual in CMD window?

pdf to image converter

Page Number in faxable TIFF file

We are having another issue when converting pdf2img, which is that only the first page of the fax comes through. We think it is related to the pagenumbers in the tiffinfo.

BAD fax - only one page comes through:

TIFF Directory at offset 0x5f8e (24462)
Page Number: 1-1
TIFF Directory at offset 0x11e50 (73296)
Page Number: 2-2


GOOD fax:

TIFF Directory at offset 0x8 (8)
Page Number: 0-2
TIFF Directory at offset 0x608c (24716)
Page Number: 1-2
Here is the documentation regarding how the pagenumber should be set up for faxing:

-----------------
PageNumber(297)                                                    SHORT
RequiredByTIFFforFAX, TIFFExtension
Count = 2
The first number represents the page number (0 for the first page);
the second number is the total number of pages in the document. If
the second value is 0, then the total page count is not available.
No default, must be specified
-----------------

Basically 0 should be the first page. then it should have a - and then the total number of pages or 0 if unknown.

Ex.
Page Number: 0-2 (THIS IS PAGE 1 OF 2 PAGE FAX)
Page Number: 1-2 (THIS IS PAGE 2 OF 2 PAGE FAX)
OR
Page Number: 0-0 (THIS IS PAGE 1 OF UNKNOWN PAGES)
Page Number: 1-0 (THIS IS PAGE 2 OF UNKNOWN PAGES)

Please fix and send us a new version as soon as possible. Thank you.
=======================================
We have fixed this problem to you, please download the new version from following URL to try again,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

VeryPDF
======================================= 

Thank you but that did not work. The page numbers need to start from 0 (as I wrote below)

For example:
TIFF Directory at offset 0x8 (8)
Page Number: 0-2 -- this is page 1
TIFF Directory at offset 0x608c (24716)
Page Number: 1-2 --this is page 2


In addition, the license key is no longer working and I get a watermark on my converted page. Please address these 2 issues as soon as possible. Thank you.
==================================
I have tried pdf2fax.bat file, it is report the following information,

tifftools\tiffinfo.exe test_fax.tif
TIFF Directory at offset 0x406f2 (263922)
Subfile Type: multi-page document (2 = 0x2)

Photometric Interpretation: min-is-white
FillOrder: msb-to-lsb
Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs
Samples/Pixel: 1
Rows/Strip: 2156
Planar Configuration: single image plane
Page Number: 1-2
PageName: Page 1
Group 3 Options: EOL padding (4 = 0x4) TIFF Directory at offset 0x46248 (287304)
Subfile Type: multi-page document (2 = 0x2)
Image Width: 1728 Image Length: 2156

Samples/Pixel: 1

Page Number: 2-2
PageName: Page 2
Group 3 Options: EOL padding (4 = 0x4)

The page number is "Page Number: 1-2" and "Page Number: 2-2", they are all right.

Can you please let us know what command line options that you used? Can you please create a test package for us to show this problem?

VeryPDF
==================================

I'm sorry but you are not understanding. The page numbers have to start from 0 not from 1

Page 1 should say 0
Page 2 should say 1
============================================
Hi,  as I said before, The first page number should NOT start with 1, it MUST start with 0.

Please see this link...
