About PDL files

PDL (Page Description Language) files are a type of document format used for printing documents. They are created using a variety of software, such as PostScript, PCL, and PDF, and contain instructions for how a printer should print a document. PDL files are usually used to print documents with complex formatting, such as those with graphics, text, and images.

PDL files can be converted to other formats, such as PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and PNG, using software such as Ghostscript, ImageMagick, and GPL Ghostscript. When converting PDL files, it is important to consider the resolution of the output file, as well as the size of the file. It is also important to ensure that the output file is compatible with the intended software or device.

Converting PDL files can be challenging, as the formatting of the document can be difficult to reproduce in other formats. Additionally, PDL files are often large and can take a long time to convert.

For these reasons, it is often easier to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert PDL files. Convert.Guru allows users to quickly and easily convert PDL files to a variety of other formats, without having to worry about the complexities of conversion.


The PDL Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best PDL converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
