Word to PCL
Presumably you can use "Print to file" with a PCL printer selected.

If I do that it creates a PCN file. Is this comparable to PCL? What
is the difference? Thanks |

Let's back up a bit. Why do you want a PCL file? What do you plan to do with
it? -- Suzanne S.

Word to PCL
I just started my new job on Monday and the application that we have is
written in DB/C. What we want to do is be able to output formatted templates (including images, bold fonts, etc.) from a print call inside of our application. Right now it is handled internally, but we cannot add formatting to the text with the way that the DB/C code is implemented. SO they asked me to find a way to output a text file into ..PCL format and our application will call and print it. This way I figured we could use Word or open office to format the template and then create a PCL file from it. |

Well, you've totally lost me, but I would suggest you try posting to the
microsoft.public.word.printingfonts newsgroup. -- Suzanne S.

THanks anyway for the responses. I just posted to
microsoft.public.word. Maybe a good question to ask would be, what is the difference between a .PCN and .PCL file? Brian |

Sorry, typo, it is actually a .PRN file.

A .prn file is what you get when you use "print to file." It's a file
formatted for a specific printer and can be used only by that printer. -- Suzanne S.

Probably a .pdf file might be more appropriate.

If you look in the .prn file you will see that it contains PCL commands.
