PDF to Vector Converter

How to convert PDF files to PCL5 files using PDF to Vector Converter Command Line on Windows 7 and Later systems?

Posted on

Hello-

We has for a long time used the Microsoft HPIII driver to print graphical tax form PDF files to PRN files containing PCL5 data. We then use those PCL5 files to create HP PCL5 macros that we distribute to our users. Unfortunately both Microsoft and HP no longer support that driver, and the other drivers seem to produce PCL6. We will have to find a replacement eventually.

Today searching for "PDF to PCL" I was pleased to find this page

https://www.verydoc.com/pdf2vector/pdf-to-pcl.html

which says that PDF2Vector can produce PCL5 files. I downloaded the trial but have not had success with it. When I use it I get this long error message:

C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\pclprinter-2012-x64>rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "VeryPDF PCL Writer" /f "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\pclprinter-2012-x64\hpcu186u.inf" /r "file:" /m "HP Universal Printing PCL 6"

'rundll32' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Can't locate the "VeryPDF PCL Writer" printer in this computer, please double check the printer name and to try again.

It appears that,

1. It requires the VeryPDF PCL Writer.
2. While it created no output, it seems to be trying to create PCL6, not PCL5, files. We have no use for PCL6 files. I was unable to locate a switch to make it produce PCL5 files.

Ideally, We would like to have a simple program that convert PDF files to PCL5 files. Can you help us?

Regards,
Customer

XPS to PDF and Image Converter

xps2pdf.exe doesn’t support german umlauts special characters in filename and file path

Posted on

If the temporary path (stored in environment-variable TEMP) contains special characters, german umlauts (äöü) in this case, the conversion with xps2pdf fails. It fails also if the paths with the converted files doesn't contain those characters.

Sample:
TEMP=C:\Users\köln\AppData\Local\Temp

xps2pdf.exe doesn't support german umlauts special characters in filename and file path
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to you, xps2pdf.exe does support ANSI characters in filename and file path, the german umlauts (äöü) characters are belong to Unicode characters, so xps2pdf.exe can't support the filename and file path which contain these characters yet, sorry for this problem, however, we will try to support these special customers in the future releases.

Although xps2pdf.exe doesn't these special characters in filename and file path, but it does support these special characters in the file contents in XPS file, please don't worry about this matter.

PostScript to PDF Converter

Convert .PS to .PDF and encounter "There has one instance is running, we have to wait at here" error message.

Hi Support,

Well, let's get down to business.

We use your system to generate print jobs (converting a .PS file "PostScript" to .PDF). Today I have a difficulty that we are not managing to solve.

When I try to print, the ps2pdf.exe program cannot seem to convert a .PS file to .PDF.
The program is simply stuck and does not work.

I saw the following message in the log:
Thank you for choosing "VeryDOC Postscript to PDF Converter Command line" product on "https://www.verydoc.com" site.
[0] There has one instance is running, we have to wait at here ...

You simply load several lines with the same message.

* NOTE: I'm using on a windows 10 Pro x64

Would you know the reason for this crash? Could you help in that case?

Regards.

Sorry for this problem, we suggest you may reboot your system first, and run same command line to try again, could you get it work after you reboot your system?

btw, is this problem appear on single PS file only or does it appear for all of your PS files? if this problem appear only for one PS file, you may send that PS file to us for test purpose, after we check that PS file, we will figure out a solution to you asap.

Hi Support,

Convert .PS to .PDF and encounter "There has one instance is running, we have to wait at here" error message.

I did some procedures to try to resolve these situations:

-We restarted the machine a few times, but that didn't solve it.
-We installed the software again. ( unsuccessfully)
-I copied the .PS file to another directory and via the command line I tried to make the conversion, but the same problem happens.
* You can view it from the screenshot.

Note:
It seems that it would not be a problem with the .PS file generated because doing the same test via the command line on another machine, it works. the PS file is converted to PDF.

I don't know, but I believe there is a problem with either ps2pdf.exe or the spoolsv service. If necessary I can perform a memory dump of the ps2pdf process (if this is useful for your analysis).

**Some observations:
-This Windows 10 does not have antivirus.
-Firewall is disabled
-UAC level is at minimum
-All tests were performed with Administrator user.

Let me know what information you need to analyze this case.

Thank you for your attention and support.

Sorry for this problem, I guess your system has more instances of ps2pdf.exe is running, you may run following command line to kill all instances of ps2pdf.exe process first,

tskill ps2pdf

after that, you can run ps2pdf.exe again, we hope you will able to get it work at this time.
