Reading HP PCL File

[Markg]

I'm attempting to read a raw HP PCL file into VB.NET using the streamreader object. The raw .PRN file was produced from Word 2003 and the document contains customer signatures. Just by reading the file and writing to a text stream breaks up the signatures causing a 'ghosting effect'. Does anybody know of anyway to get an exact copy of the .PRN read into VB.NET and output to a file ?

Thanks.
