Convert eLynx to pdf.....can it be done?

I use PrimoPDF to convert docs, but it can't convert eLynx. Does anyone know a program that can? Please let me know.
Thx,
Red

Programs, such as eLynx, that use RAW PCL cannot be converted to PDF (as far as I know) because they are printer language (PCL) files. There have been many attempts at creating virtual PCL compliant printers but I have not seen one that works yet.

eLynx smart view should work with PDF995

eLynx smart view has a windows configuration tab which allows it to print through windows. Then you can choose PDF995 or similar program as your printer and it should work. With eLynx smart view, you can view and choose pages to print in case your printer jams, so I don't see a reason to convert them to PDF unless maybe you are a signing serivce wanting to send docs to a notary that is not able to print PCL language.

You're a pretty smart cookie, Glenn. And you're right about the reason
Thanks for your help,

Yes, the elynx smartvue program does that. I forgot about that. The elynx print utility doesn't offer that option.
