PCL(UTF8) to XPS

Introduction

By default, MAPPING handles as input file, only PCL file encoded in ANSI. However, it is possible to take-in PCL files encoded in UTF8 in order to convert them into XPS, PDF or others.

Settings

To force the input convertor to take-in a PCL encoded in UTF-8, we must use the following tag in a -param parameter or in a conversion profile.

<decodeutf8>ON</decodeutf8>

This parameter is only used for the fromPCL convertion

It is however possible to put it in a PDF convertion profile.

Examples

Convert a PCL(UTF8) into XPS via a convertion profile

<xps>
   <label>XPS</label>
   <language>XPS</language>
   <decodeutf8>ON</decodeutf8>
 </xps>

Example of the syntax of the commande to use :

/apps/mapping/bin/map_xps "-fromPCL" "-toXPS" "-infile:/apps/mapping/infile/infile.pcl" "-outfile:/apps/mapping/results/out/out.xps" "-profile:xps"

Convert a PCL(UTF8) into XPS without a profile

Example of the syntax of the commande to use :

/apps/mapping/bin/map_xps "-fromPCL" "-toXPS" "-infile:/apps/mapping/infile/infile.pcl" "-outfile:/apps/mapping/results/out/out.xps" "-param:decodeutf8=ON"

Convert a PCL(UTF8) into PDFvia a convertion profile

To avoid having to go through a XPS profile then to a PDF profile, it is possible to put the decodeutf8 to ON directly within the PDF convertion profile.

 <pdf>
   <label>PDF</label>
   <language>PDF</language>
   <decodeutf8>ON</decodeutf8>
 </pdf>

Example of the syntax of the commande to use :

/apps/mapping/bin/map_xps "-fromPCL" "-toXPS" "-infile:/apps/mapping/infile/infile.pcl" "-outfile:/apps/mapping/results/out/out.xps" "-profile:pdf"

Convert a PCL(UTF8) into PDFwithout a profile

Example of the syntax of the commande to use :

/apps/mapping/bin/map_xps "-fromPCL" "-toPDF" "-infile:/apps/mapping/infile/infile.pcl" "-outfile:/apps/mapping/results/out/out.xps" "-param:decodeutf8=ON"
