How to convert PCL generated by HP LaserJet 5 to PDF in C #?

I need to retire from 15 year old system and keep all data. It can only print documents on a specific HP LaserJet 5 printer. I can print documents in PCL files and look for ways to convert all these files to PDF files programmatically. Preferably in C #. Can anyone recommend a good library or command line tool? Preferably free; -)

The simplest solution I have found is VeryPDF PCL Converter http://www.verypdf.com/pcltools/index.html . It has command line mode, GUI (for command line), batch mode and costs only $ 125. My company paid for this. Hope this helps someone too.

Command Line Tool GhostPCL

We are currently using the Lincoln PCL to PDF converter. It was easy to call and include the attachment in our C # app. It also provides good feedback on events when the page has been converted, etc., so you can even add progress bars, etc.
