Frequently Asked Questions
What types of PDF files work best for conversion?
▼
Single-page PDFs with clear text and simple graphics convert most effectively. While our system can process multi-page PDFs, each page will be converted separately. For optimal results, use PDFs with dimensions similar to your target label size.
How does the PDF to ZPL conversion process work?
▼
Our conversion engine first renders the PDF as a high-resolution image, then applies advanced image processing to optimize it for label printing. Finally, the processed image is converted to ZPL commands that reproduce the content on Zebra printers.
What are the limitations of PDF to ZPL conversion?
▼
While our converter handles most PDF content effectively, extremely complex layouts, certain fonts, or specialized PDF features may not convert perfectly. Very small text may need adjustment, and color gradients will be converted to black and white patterns suitable for thermal printing.
Can I edit the ZPL code after conversion?
▼
Yes, the generated ZPL code can be copied to our ZPL Viewer tool for further editing and refinement before printing. This allows you to make adjustments to positioning, size, or add additional elements like barcodes.
