Embedded custom fonts in SaveFormat.PCL?

[kkennedy]

Hello,

I would like to know if Aspose.Words (Java) has the ability to embed fonts when saving to SaveFormat.PCL? I know at one time this feature was in your future road-map. Has that feature been added? If not, is it still in your future plans?

Thanks!

I tested the most recent version via Maven reference, and the functionality doesn’t seem to be in the most recent version (although, I could be missing something), and I wanted to know if this is still your direction.

Question about saving to SaveFormat.PCL

Hello Team, I have a question about the new save format “PCL”. My need is to be able to generate generic PCL6 (PCL XL) so that a Word document can be routed to any number of Laser printers. When I save to PCL, Aspose.Words creates the file, however when I route it to a printer… nothing prints (or blank page prints). For comparison, I setup a generic HP LaserJet printer driver on a Windows machine. I open the document in MS Word and print-to-file using this generic printer driver. It generates …

Thanks,
