Next message: Tom Roth: "Re: [WinMac] Converting HPGL Files to PostScript/PDF"
Not sure about current products, but Coreldraw used to be able to take in
HPGL. (As did Word and Wordperfect on DOS!!)
http://www.tailormade.com/hp2des_overview.htm But it costs $350
Pixview (www.pixedit.com) is $35
Both of these are Windows file conversion products (but as you're on the
WinMac list I'm presuming you've got a PC somewhere)
Freehand also does HPGL import... but it's a little expensive if you're just
doing the one job.
