We asked VeryPDF and they told us it is not a valid PCL file.Ĭan anybody tell me what exactly is invalid about this file? Is there any possibility of converting it to valid PCL or otherwise extracting usable data from it? Is it possible to configure the printer driver somehow so that it produces valid PCL? Attempting to open 00025.spl using other PCL viewers gives similar results. As an example, the following SPL file results from printing out a single page in notepad with the word 'something' on it: Ĭonverting 00025.spl using pcltool.exe results in a 70-page PDF with a row of garbage characters at the top of each page. However we are having trouble with SPL files generated by the printer driver 'Canon iR-ADV C5235/5240 PCL6'. For SPL files in PCL format we perform this conversion using pcltool.exe from VeryPDF, which mostly works fine. In our software we need to be able to convert SPL files which printer drivers write to the C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS folder to PDF files.
