Converting PCL to ASCII

The problem is GRAPHICS. There is no way to convert graphics to ASCII without it looking like garbage. ASCII cannot support the range of graphic options that the other formats provide. The best you can hope for is a pretty decent looking conversion, but expect garbage characters. This is normal and I seriously doubt it can be avoided.

My straight answer to your posted question is - I can't point you to the tools your asking about, because I have not seen them. I could point you to places you have probably already been able to find with a search engine. --- My question back to youis >> What are you trying to do? As someone who makes a living getting print jobs on paper I have never seen someone who is sitting on a repository of PCL files. PDF files maybe, and the ability to convert them is an unpredicatble thing at times, but PCL files?
If you are really looking for exactly what you asked for this is no answer, if you have a need to get from one place to another and this is a step along the way, send me an e-mail and I'll try to help.

ASCII text doesn't have any formatting. You are wasting your time.
