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.

Is there any licensed version of such kind of tool?

text::pdf::dict
Text::PDF::Dict(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::PDF::Dict(3pm)
NAME
Text::PDF::Dict - PDF Dictionaries and Streams. Inherits from PDF::Objind
INSTANCE VARIABLES
There are various special instance variables which are used to look after, particularly, streams. Each begins with a space:
stream Holds the stream contents for output
streamfile
Holds the stream contents in an external file rather than in memory. This is not the same as a PDF file stream. The data is stored
in its unfiltered form.
streamloc
If both ' stream' and ' streamfile' are empty, this indicates where in the source PDF the stream starts.
METHODS
$d->outobjdeep($fh)
Outputs the contents of the dictionary to a PDF file. This is a recursive call.
It also outputs a stream if the dictionary has a stream element. If this occurs then this method will calculate the length of the stream
and insert it into the stream's dictionary.
$d->read_stream($force_memory)
Reads in a stream from a PDF file. If the stream is greater than "PDF::Dict::mincache" (defaults to 32768) bytes to be stored, then the
default action is to create a file for it somewhere and to use that file as a data cache. If $force_memory is set, this caching will not
occur and the data will all be stored in the $self->{' stream'} variable.
$d->val
Returns the dictionary, which is itself.
$d->copy($inpdf, $res, $unique, $outpdf, %opts)
Copies an object. See Text::PDF::Objind::Copy() for details
