In our project, we are converting the html to pcl file and sending the PCL to different vendor. They have to edit something on the pcl file (like replacing replacing text dynamically). Previously with PCL5, they were able to edit the pcl file. Since the Aspose is generating PCL XL /6, they cannot edit the pcl file. Is there any options in Aspose to allow them to edit the PCL file?
I think you are using Aspose.Words to convert HTML to PCL file, so I am moving your thread to respective forum where one of fellow colleagues will assist you soon.
@Jonam312 I am afraid, Aspose.Words API only supports PCL 6 Enhanced or PCL XL files. This is because PCL 1-5 versions do not support essential features like transformation matrices and clipping paths, required for proper document generation by Aspose.Words. So in Aspose.Words we do not have plans to support PCL 1-5 versions.
@alexey.noskov Thanks for the update. Can you let us know if there is a possibility of editing the PCL file? Say for example, Is it possible to replace the specific text (xxxxxx) in pcl file like a placeholder where the vendor will place their own text in that place?
@Jonam312 I am afraid Aspose.Words does not support editing PCL documents.
Maybe you can keep the template in MS Word document format, fill it with data using Mail Merge or LINQ Reporting Engine and then convert the final document to PCL.
