Translating PRN Files
(OP)
I have some .prn files and would like to view and edit the
contents. Is there any software capable of importing or opening these files?

RE: Translating PRN Files
From what I have been able to glean, the .prn file format does not exist, per se. What gets written to the prn file depends on which printer/driver was in use at the time. It is simply a stream of printer commands and could represent PCL, Postscript, etc. Sounds like a tall order for software to re-create the original data from this in a blind fashion. Anyone else have more on this?

eg try sending the same file as *.prn to two different printers and compare them - they will differ quite markedly.
(You don't need the physical printers, just tell your OS what printer you are trying to send the file to)
