Mgosoft PCL To Image SDK

Mgosoft PCL To Image SDK is a comprehensive development kit that allows you to build graphic files conversion capabilities in your applications.

The components are compatible with a series of development environments and languages. The package includes various libraries, script files and project documents for C#, Visual Basic or VB.NET.

The libraries allow you to create several handles for image conversion and integrate support for PCL, PXL or PX3 input files. The tool is thus suitable for handling images created with laser printing devices.

The tool allows you to create conversion tools that support a large series of output formats. For example, you can transform PCL files to TIF, TIFF, JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PCX, WMF, EMF or TGA.

Aside from changing the extension of the image file, you can build tools that modify other parameters as well.

Thus, each format conversion can also include the changing of the picture’s color depth, JPEG quality, TIFF compression, resolution or rotation angle.

TIFF compression can be achieved by using one of the available algorithms: JPEg, LZW arithmetic, PACKBITS, CCITT G4 or G3 and RLE.

You may also change the image size, by specifying the desired resolution or convert a larger PDF to a multi-page TIFF file. DPI settings can also be changed, according to your requirements.

Each output format requires that you set the color mode, compression or quality, but they all support default values as well. The supported color modes include RGB, Gray and Black/White while the color depth can be set to 1, 4, 8 or 24 bits.

Mgosoft PCL To Image SDK’s package includes several demo applications that you can use with one of the supported development environments.

The compiled demos, along with the documentation can help you get started with your work, as well as reduce the time spent writing code.

NOTE: The tool can be used freely for creating freeware products, but you need to acquire a license if you wish to integrate it in shareware applications.
