But before learning how to convert a PRN to PDF, we first need to know how to capture it. Converting it to a PDF will allow it to be more accessible, and therefore more usable. For example, if you need to print a file created in AUTOCAD, and if you have the PRN file, you can do it even in another system without requiring to install AUTOCAD.īut just having a PRN file is of little use, as it can be opened with a limited number of programs such as ACD Systems Canvas 12, Microsoft Office Document Imaging, AllWeb FastPrint, Microsoft Windows Command Prompt, and Free Raw Print (FRP). However, there are certain advantages of intercepting the PRN file before it gets sent to the printer. Normally, this process takes place in a rather transparent manner you give the command to print via the printer’s software UI, the PRN file is automatically generated in the background and sent to the printer, and the printing takes place. It is basically a means of translating the output of a word processing program, such as MS WORD, into something that the printer can understand and use. It tells the printer what to print, where to print it on the page, which paper tray to use, the chosen mode of printing, the paper size to be used, besides a number of other details.Ī PRN file is automatically generated by a printer’s driver every time you give the print command. Portable document format, or PDF, is mostly known for its read-only configuration, and is supported in all the popular operating systems.Ī PRN file is a special file that contains specific instructions for a printer.
