I need to convert .pcl files to .pdf files. I did some searching and found that gplc6 (from the Ghostscript family) is the tool I need. I ran the command like this:



gpcl6 -o test.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite test.pcl


The problem is that the output pdf has no colors in it. Colors are not even converted to grayscale instead colored areas are not present in the pdf.



To make sure that the problem is not in the pcl file, I used the demo version of RED TITAN pcl viewer and it has colors in it. I even converted it to pdf and it was colored as expected.
How can i make the conversion without losing the colored areas?
