Have you tried pcl2ps. Your source document is a PCL5 print file.
Excellent! You are absolutely right. I used this source file as PCL and able to generate PDF without any special/junk characters using
gpcl6 from
ghostpcl 9.18. But there's some small issue of getting more number of pages than source ( I tried 650 pages source file and it generated 810 pages of PDF). Few last lines of a page skipping to next page and pushing the next page further. Each page starts with a "Print Date" & "Page xxx" (in the first line). Can we use this pattern to adjust each page OR
gpcl6 has any parameter that can define this? I tried few but no luck.
Could you please suggest any ideas on how to fix this?
Again, many thanks for your correct direction

We're looking for a program that can convert Text and PCL formats into a PDF. We're not looking to spend a fortune so my search so far has come up empty handed as everyone wants an arm and a leg. I found txt2pdf, but that doesn't support PCL formats. Any help would be appreciated.
