25+ years of virtual printer, print capture, and document tech.
If your business is struggling with a messy printing problem, VeryPCL is here to fix it. Backed by over 25 years of hands-on engineering, we are experts at handling tricky Windows printer drivers, old mainframe print data, and complex file conversions. Whether you need a custom Windows virtual printer driver, a way to capture print jobs silently, or a lightning-fast PCL to PDF converter SDK, we’ve got you covered.
We know you can't afford software that crashes your production line. That’s why we don't sell unverified prototypes. Our core technology runs 24/7 in the real-world pipelines of Fortune 500 companies, shipping giants, and global software vendors. We handle massive data loads and weird legacy ERP formats with absolute stability—no hiccups, no headaches.
Need to intercept print workflows and automatically inject your company logo or custom text watermarks on the fly? We can build that for you. We offer flexible, contract-based custom development tailored exactly to your business rules.

|
| Virtual Printer Development | We build smart, "software-only" virtual printers for Windows. When a user clicks "Print," instead of using paper, it silently generates digital files like PDF, PCL, or images in the background without showing any confusing pop-up windows. | Creating custom "Print-to-PDF" software, branding printer drivers with your logo, or automating document saving workflows. |
| Print Interception & Capture | We can capture and examine any print job sent from Windows or Unix systems before it reaches the physical printer. This allows you to track exactly who is printing, what they are printing, and block unauthorized actions. | Company print auditing, document leak prevention, and accurate printer usage cost counting/billing. |
| Automatic Print Watermarking | We can automatically overlay your company logo, dynamic timestamps, user names, or "CONFIDENTIAL" text onto documents the exact millisecond they are printed or converted, requiring zero manual work from employees. | Enforcing corporate branding on all outputs, automatic copyright protection, and secure invoice/receipt generation. |
| Print Stream Analysis & Parsing | We look deep into raw printer codes (like PCL5, PCL XL, PostScript, PRN, and ZPL). Our tools break down these complex instructions to read layouts, extract text accurately, embed TrueType fonts, and ensure perfect rendering. | Migrating old Unix/Mainframe print jobs to modern networks, and checking print layouts for quality control. |
| Print File Conversion | We convert raw printer files (PCL, PRN, PXL, PS) into standard, easy-to-read files like PDF, TIFF, PNG, or JPG at lightning speeds. We also support converting general office formats like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and HTML. | Batch archiving of legacy bills, and adding online digital print previews to websites or web portals. |
| Form Filling & Data Mapping | We can extract text fields directly out of your printer stream and inject them automatically into interactive PDF AcroForms, XML layouts, or database fields. This eliminates manual data entry entirely. | Automating insurance applications, filling out government paperwork, and generating customer billing statements. |
| Sensitive Data Redaction | We can build software that scans your printed data and permanently scrubs, wipes out, or blacks out sensitive information—like credit card numbers, passwords, or personal IDs—before documents are saved or emailed. | Complying with privacy laws (GDPR/HIPAA), protecting patient records, and handling confidential legal documents safely. |
| Document Diff & Comparison | We develop ultra-fast visual comparison engines that look at two print jobs (e.g., PCL vs PDF) side-by-side. It immediately highlights any pixel-level changes, shifted text lines, missing barcodes, or altered numbers. | Automating printer driver testing, tracking changes in contract revisions, and verifying print rendering accuracy. |
| Barcode Integration Engine | We can inject or scan any 1D or 2D barcode (such as QR Codes, DataMatrix, or Code 128) directly into or out of live printer data streams, seamlessly converting vector graphics into accessible text data. | Automating warehouse shipping labels, tracking logistics, and processing barcode invoices. |
| AI Data Extraction & OCR | We pull raw text, tables, and hidden layout coordinates out of print spools. For image-only files or scanned documents, we use powerful OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and Document AI to accurately read and sort text. | Automated invoice data entry, pulling keywords for search indexes, and transferring legacy print data to modern ERP systems. |
| Scanning & Image Cleanup | We build custom software interfaces for TWAIN and WIA physical scanners. Our software fixes bad scans on the fly by compressing files, removing digital noise, straightening crooked pages, and improving contrast. | Office scanning stations, digital document cleanup pipelines, and automated document ingestion kiosks. |
| Security, DRM & Digital Signatures | We secure your files by adding password encryption, digital signatures, certificate checks, and file expiration dates. We can also enforce strict copy protection, like setting a hard limit on how many times a file can be printed. | Protecting paid training e-books, secure digital contract signing, and preventing unauthorized corporate file sharing. |
| Third-Party App Interception | We create background layers that watch how specific third-party desktop apps behave. We can intercept their file savings, monitor print dialog triggers, or automatically modify their behaviors without modifying their original code. | Extending existing software, automating external software tasks, and non-intrusive activity logging. |
| Document Archiving & Search | We build custom internal document hubs that instantly catalogue files. It indexes every single word within your records so you can search through millions of processed files and find what you need in under a second. | Corporate knowledge bases, historic document storage systems, and fast medical file retrieval networks. |
| Cloud Document Platforms | We develop cloud-ready document portals from scratch. This includes building online file viewing engines, adding HTML5 toolbars for web annotations, and setting up web-based digital signature workflows. | Launching your own web-based SaaS document software, or building secure client portal portals. |
| High-Volume Batch Engines | We engineer high-performance systems that can automatically process millions of files. It watches folder directories continuously, queues up massive conversion workloads, and processes files in parallel using all server power. | Enterprise bulk printing operations, massive nightly data conversion runs, and high-throughput automated invoicing. |
| Custom Business Automation | We connect separate, isolated business software components together. We build logical conditional rules—such as: "If a PCL file arrives from System A, convert it, sign it, email it to Client B, and log a backup into System C." | Going paperless in the office, creating multi-step document approval chains, and hands-free report routing. |
| Legacy Systems Integration | If your company relies on ancient mainframe software or niche hardware that uses strange, outdated print data, we can build custom middleware software to bridge that old data safely into your modern networks. | Connecting old terminal systems, specialized hardware interfaces, or legacy SAP/ERP setups with new software. |
| Custom R&D Solutions | Have a unique document roadblock, an extremely specific hardware setup, or a requirement that isn't mentioned anywhere on this page? Our seasoned engineering team will work with you to design and build a custom solution from scratch. | Highly customized enterprise software infrastructures tailored precisely to your specific business rules. |
