I can provide the .pcl file if needed.

Here is the code:
// load PCL with an instance of Document
Aspose.Pdf.License obj = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
obj.SetLicense(@“D:\me\pcltopdf\ConsoleApplication4\ConsoleApplication4\bin\Debug\Aspose.PDF.Product.Family.lic”);

        var document = new Document("D:\\pclpdf\\AP_5_Standard.pcl", new PclLoadOptions());

        // save document in PCL format
        document.Save("AP_5_Standard.pdf");

Please check the attached output PDFs that are generated in our environment while using 22.6 version of the API and the below code snippet. We did not notice any exception:

Aspose.Pdf.PclLoadOptions loadopt = new Aspose.Pdf.PclLoadOptions();// { ConversionEngine = Aspose.Pdf.PclLoadOptions.ConversionEngines.NewEngine };
loadopt.SupressErrors = true;
Aspose.Pdf.Document doc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(dataDir + "AP_7_MiddleSummary.pcl", loadopt);
doc.Save(dataDir + "AP_7_MiddleSummary.pcl.pdf");

Hi,
Wanted to check the status of the ticket. Do you have any update for us.
Also wanted to check regarding aspose.total . Can I use aspose.total for this .pcl to .df converstion? what is the difference between aspose.total vs aspose.pdf
we do have licences for aspose.total already.

@balarama.singamsetty

Regretfully, the ticket has not been yet resolved. Furthermore, Aspose.Total license can be used for every Aspose API included in the package and Aspose.PDF is one of the APIs in Aspose.Total. You can also use Aspose.Words in order to convert your PCL files into PDF. For the purpose, you need to convert PCL into Word format and then generate PDF from it using Aspose.Words. For example:

Document document = new Document("template.pcl");
// save PCL as a DOC 
document.Save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.Doc); 
// load Doc with an instance of Document
var outputDocument = new Aspose.Words.Document("DocOutput.doc");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Pdf
outputDocument.Save("output.wordml", SaveFormat.Pdf);
