SwiftView Pro and SwiftConvert PCL analysis features:

SwiftView Pro can be run interactively within your Windows application to display the following information directly to the user. Your application can also easily obtain this information from a batch execution of SwiftConvert or an embedded SwiftView Pro window, using simple text commands and callback strings.

Count pages. SwiftView quickly and accurately counts the pages that would actually be printed by a PCL file.
Search for a text string. SwiftView builds an accurate "plain text" equivalent of the text actually printed by a PCL file for search and extraction.
Search for text matching a pattern. SwiftView incorporates standard Unix regular expression pattern matching for sophisticated searches.
Search for text in a form or report field. SwiftView can exclude text not in a rectangular area from the search, to search for text in a field in a report or form.
Here is an example of how you can Index, markup, and extract specific pages from a print file or report with SwiftConvert.
