PCLReader V8.87

Product Features

PCLReader improves the way you interact with PCL and your critical data. PCLReader gives you the ability to index, search, retrieve, extract/normalize and view complex PCL.

  • Index/Search/Retrieve/View: PCLReader can index PCL print streams, then search and retrieve specific pages for viewing.

  • Print to any printer: Once the PCL file is opened for viewing, you can print the PCL to any Windows printer driver. Once viewed, a PCL file can be printed to any Windows printer driver.

    This is useful in when you have a non-LaserJet PCL printer and need to print a Mortgage Loan, Insurance or other form intensive legacy applications that requires PCL4/5/5e LaserJet printers.
