The generic text-only (tty) driver can be useful if the document being printed
is not too complex (many varying fonts, point sizes, columns, text blocks within
columns, double-byte/foreign languages, etc.).

PageTech now has a PCLMagic driver that captures all the text from the
application in Unicode and UTF8 character cell assignments. The text is hidden
in the HP PCL print stream produced by embedding it into macros that are not
executed. We then have tools to extract the text and format it in various ways:
ASCII Text Equivalent, each text object with it's absolute positioning
coordinates, etc.

The PCLMagic driver is automatically installed in our PCLTool SDK Demo at
pagetech.com. After it's installed, print to the PageTech PCL2PDF Driver and
then look in our \program data\pagetech\pcltsdk_116\out folder for the *.txt
file created.
