Might have a need to convert PCL files to PDF files on VMS.

Looking at Ghostscript. Any opinions? Any other suggestions.

Anyone using Ghostscript, did you find an executable, or build from sources?

Advice appreciated ...

The latest (I think) distribution of ghostscript is the one prepared by
Mark berryman :
http://www.theberrymans.com/php_kits/

To get some hints on how to compile see:
http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html#GhostScript

But I do not think GhostScript does transform PCL to PDF. I think for
that you will need GhostPDL. As far as I know nobody tried a port of
GhostPDL for OpenVMS; It is however somewhere (low) on my to-do list.

I use RPM Elite from Brooks Internet Software. You will need the "elite" version to get the PCL to PDF functionality. Also will need a windows box to run it on. You create virtual printers that you send PCL files to, just like a regular printer. Virtual printer(s) can be configured to save pdf in folder, attach to email, etc.

You can do things like put data in first couple of lines of PCL file for things like file name, email address, etc. You can then apply a "transform" to extract and use those things, then remove the lines before converting the rest to PCL. It's worked very well for us.

Again, you will need the "elite" version for PCL to PDF functionality.

We used Visual PCL2PDF for years and it was quite capable. I have no idea on current cost.

It runs on VMS and multiple other platforms
