Convert PLO to PDF In Batch

 

You have PLO files and your computer does not have a program to open them. PLO format is another one that Hewlett-Packard Plotter uses to save its output, which is not widely spread today. To read it, either you can search for a special software online (likely with the help of the OS), or you can convert PLO to PDF, a popular and widely used format. Total CAD Converter lets you do just that, freeing you from the hassle of finding and installing another software on your hard drive.

If the output quality is your concern, then we are proud to inform you that the 12 years of refinement work has blessed the Total CAD Converter with the "true print quality" rendering ability that produces accurate vector drawings. It also gives you the option of using a black-and-white mode for better understandability of those light-colored lines. Besides, you can export multiple PLO files into a single PDF.

In addition to conversion, the Total CAD Converter stresses on numerous customization ability. To name a few, it offers:

  • Standard features like flip, rotate or resize;
  • Options to add title, subject or author name;
  • Determine line-weights;
  • Fit-to-page and other page sizing options;
  • Various compression sizes;
  • Option to assign a digital signature;
  • Options to choose between normal PDF, PDF/A and non-searchable PDF as an output.

The Total CAD Converter excels at security features as well. Apart from the ability to make the output PDF password protected, this PLO converter gives you the options to set various user permission like copying, modifying or printing capability. What is more, it also let you add a text watermark in every page to protect the file against copyright theft.

If you are not so much into software, we got you covered. The GUI interface is very much user-friendly for any beginner and if you are an advanced one, you will be much benefitted with CAD Converter's command line mode.
