TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Does anyone know of a program, preferably inexpensive, that can convert PCL
files to TIFF files? We have always captured screenshots of the reports in
our software product by printing them to PCL files (using an HP II print
driver), then converting them to TIFFs. An old 16-bit version of Hijaak Pro
used to perform the process beautifully. However, version 4.5 (which we
purchased to run on our NT machines) does not seem to be able to read the
PCL files, much less convert them. When we try to open (or convert) a PCL
file, it shows up as unreadable garbage.
