PCLTool SDK is an industry exclusive dynamic link library (.DLL) that converts HP PCL text and vector files into bitmap formats (in-memory TIFF Gp4, in-memory DIB, .PCX, .DCX, .BMP, XPS and .TIF) or vector formats (in-memory GDI, .PMF, WMF and EMF) with metrically matching TrueType fonts for those used to create the HP PCL print file.

PCLTool comes with a sample application software that exercises all the functions of both the PTC32.DLL and PTV32.DLL. Both the DLLs that come with PCLTool are designed to fit into existing applications quickly and seamlessly.

Here are some of the main SDK programs.
1. PCLXForm is a script-drive batch full transformation software that performs the functions of the other batch programs: PCLCVT and PCL2PDF.
2. PCLView is a "Reader" software with end user GUI to Index, Retrieve, Extract, Normalize, View and Print native PCL files.
3. PCLPrint is a command line-driven utility thats converts PCL into a internal memory raster DIB or vector GDI image, then prints to any Windows printer driver. This software is used to print PCL to Windows GDI Only, PostScript or other non-PCL printers.
4. FILTER is a software program to search and replace within a PCL print stream to make pre-conversion modifications or corrections to the file.
5. TNXDUMP is a software program to re-format the text extracted from a PCL into various ASCII formats for data migration applications.
