1.
Add a local variable to your process and name it lincPDFOptions.
2.
Add another local variable named workingDir and give it a default Windows path (for
example: C:\PCL2PDF\).
3. Add a plugin to capture the PCL File. You may use any input plugin that imports the PCL
file into the process, such as Folder Capture, LPD Input, etc.
4. Using the Change Emulation plugin, change the Emulation to ASCII. This type of
emulation allows to set the number of lines per page, remove or add lines or even remove
some HP PCL escape sequences if necessary.
5.
As the number of options you pass to LincPDFC may be high, it is recommended to
assign all the desired options to the local variable lincPDFOptions. To do that you can
use either the Set Job Infos and Variables plugin or a Run Script Action plugin, for
example with the following JavaScript:
