It looks like ghostpcl would do what you want. You get lot of examples
of pcl to pdf using ghostpcl with a google search.

pdf is just a subset of postscript. Both can be generated from code as
postscript is a very simple stack based language. Pdf is slightly harder
to generate as you need to include additional comments describing page
format to be compliant.

Cheers,

Subject: [Info-Ingres] Report Writer - PCL to PDF

Whoa...

OK... Sorry... I thought for a second Paul said "clothes are
optional"...


Anyway, the boss in the office has asked me to investigate converting
some of our report writer printouts into PDF.

Thing is, we use PCL coding in most of our reports and so I need to ask
for help.

Can anyone please give me some advice or examples on PCL to PDF
conversion on a linux server? Or should I change the rw code to maybe
generate html code and then convert that to pdf? Is it possible to
generate pdf files from rw code?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Andrew.
