Hi! I managed to redirect printing jobs under DOS into a file. As i use HP printer driver in that DOS Program (Wordstar) i know got a PCL file. What i want to do now is, convert that PCL file to PDF. Are there free converts that can do this? Another solution would be finding a postscript printer driver for Wordstar 4. If i got PCL file is there any way to get it into PDF? Thx in advance! Markus

I found GhostPCL from alladin. This tool can convert PCL files, the only big problem with that tool, i don't know how to convert landscape orientated pcl files. When i convert a landscape pcl file, the pdf is orientated as portrait, i couldn't find out how to avoid that yet. I hope i find help for that!

I found a solution, i could use a printer command in the program Wordstar to turn the page. Now the PDF is good, only the page is still in portrait, i would need to rotate the pages 90 degrees. Does anyone knows a program to rotate pages in PDF files - best for free :)?
