Publisher's Description
From Page Technology Marketing:
PCL Reader 32-bit views and converts PCL and Text into PDF, PDF/A, XPS, TIFF, BMP, PNG, JPG, PCX and ASCII Text. Once viewed, a PCL or Text file can be printed to any Windows printer driver. This is useful when you have a non-LaserJet PCL printer and need to print an invoice, loan, or other type of PCL document from legacy applications that require PCL4/5/5e LaserJet printers. PCL Reader is a limited, subset of PageTech's PCLWorks Program ($79 or $139) to showcase what the commercial products can do. PCLWorks can convert PCL into very small JBIG2 compressed raster or vector/text PDF and PDF/A files. As well as, PCL to TIFF, PNG, XPS, BMP, JPG, PCX, DCX, WMF and EMF formats. The majority of PageTech's business is derived from licensing its various PCLTool SDK ($425 - $995) options. PCLTool SDK Options include writing your own programs, using our API, or, for rapid application development, PCLXForm program with its own custom scripting language. v11 of the SDK now includes Windows .NET, 64-bit, and 64-bit .NET versions of its major PCL conversion programs.

"Did the job for what I needed to do."
Version: PCL Reader 32-bit 8.895
Pros
The software readily read the print file that was in PCL format. I was then able to save the file to a PDF format.
Easy to install and uninstall.Cons
The GUI interface could be a little more user intuitive.
Summary
Not a bad program to read print output files written in PCL format. However, I would hope using such files are rare. In my case, a camp ground reservation person apparently did not know how to send files usable by most folks (ie: PDF) to send a reservation confirmation. Instead, they sent a print output file. PCLReader saved the day for this type of problem.

"Not Free"
Version: PCL Reader 32-bit 8.43
Pros
Seems to convert and view the PDF files OK
Cons
It is not without limitations and should not be listed as free. It places a watermark on follow-on pages
