Advanced PCL to PDF options
The Connect DataMapper uses LincPDF to convert PCL files to PDF files. By default, the only
options it passes to LincPDF are the input and output file names. Therefore, everything
depends on LincPDF’s own default settings. However, in order to extract data from a PCL file it
might be necessary to take some of the options into account that were set to create the PCL
spool file, such as Edge-to-Edge, page X and Y offset values, page width and height in the
case of a custom page type, or the number of lines per page to generate the correct number of
PDF pages.
This topic's intention is to provide you with a method to make LincPDF take these advanced
settings into account, so the generated PDF can be correctly read in the DataMapper.
Note
The method described in this topic can only be done using PlanetPress Workflow.
