	Page description language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A page description language (PDL) is a language that describes the contents of a printed page in a higher level than an actual output bitmap.
		Some page description languages are not complete enough to be considered a programming language, however, PostScript, one of the most noted page description languages, is a fully fledged programming language.

	Define page description language - a Whatis.com definition - see also: PDL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A page description language (PDL) specifies the arrangement of a printed page through commands from a computer that the printer carries out.
		PDLs define page elements independently of printer technology, so that a page's appearance should be consistent regardless of the specific printer used.
		Page description languages can be contrasted with content description languages, such as the Extensible Markup Language (XML), which describe the content rather than the arrangement of information.

	Light Weight Page Description Specification
		Page Description Languages (PDL) are used for describing formatted documents to be sent to printers.
		Choosing PDL is not a fruitful duty, since main purpose of PDLs, describing formatted pages, is same among all PDLS, and drawing capability of PDLs are almost same for all PDLs.
		Although they are designed as printer independent, current page description files are no longer printer independent, but they are heavily dependent to printers that the page descriptions are targeted to.

	Method for translating a plurality of printer page description languages - Patent 5226112
		The present invention relates generally to interpreting jobs written in one of a plurality of page description languages for printing with a printing apparatus, and more particularly to a technique for swapping interpretation context files within a printing apparatus server to optimize the use of multiple interpreters therein.
		In the preferred embodiment, the interpreted PDL file is expressed in Interpress, and is transmitted to the printer 50 which comprises a decomposer 96 and an image output terminal (IOT) 98.
		Before communicating the second input PDL file to the ACP 74, the host processor 72 sets the flag in the memory section 86 to indicate that the second memory map 78-2 is required for interpretation.

		As such, SVG as a page description language may be used as the output render target under the control of a higher level layout control language.
		The suitability of SVG as a PDL is unquestionable.
		Traditional PDLs discard data after a page is printed, and this is a requirement due to memory considerations in embedded devices.

		A Page Description Language is a language for describing the graphical appearance of pages.
		Such a description is economical and device-independent and can be used to produce high-quality output on a broad range of printers and displays.
		As each graphics object in the content stream is encountered, marks are placed on the current page which completely obscure any previous marks they may overlay.

		Abbreviated as PDL, a language for describing the layout and contents of a printed page.
		The best-known PDLs are Adobe PostScript and Hewlett-Packard PCL (Printer Control Language), both of which are used to control laser printers.
		Both PostScript and modern versions of PCL are object-oriented, meaning that they describe a page in terms of geometrical objects such as lines, arcs, and circles.

		Most PDL's are procedural, rather than declarative, device independent, PDL output can be sent directly to the printer or programmed directly (albeit tediously).

	Postscript - A Hardware-Independent Page Description Language
		Although several such languages have been released over the years, such as DDL and Interpress, it is clear that the market is dominated by PostScript and that this language has become a de facto standard in the desktop publishing and desktop graphics industries.
		Postscript defines its fonts as geometrical descriptions of the outlines of the characters, and this allows a wide variety of mathematical operations to be performed, including scaling, rotating and various other 'distortions' which can be used to create effects such as perspective or wrapping text around objects.
		Postscript is standard: different printers all implement the language the same way, and other page description languages are significantly less popular.

		(PDL) A language such as Adobe Systems, Inc. 's PostScript or Xerox's Interpress which allows the appearance of a printed page to be described in a high-level, device-independent way.
		Printing then becomes a two-stage process: an application program produces a description in the language, which is then interpreted by a specific output device.
		Such a language can therefore serve as an interchange standard for transmission and storage of printable documents.

		PostScript is primarily a language for printing documents on laser printers, but it can be adapted to produce images on other types of devices.
		PostScript is the standard for desktop publishing because it is supported by imagesetters, the very high-resolution printers used by service bureaus to produce camera-ready copy.
		PostScript is an object-oriented language, meaning that it treats images, including fonts, as collections of geometrical objects rather than as bit maps.

	Citation Software Inc. - FAQ - What is a page-description language?
		ANSWER: A page-description language (PDL) is a computer language that describes the text and graphics in a document.
		In most situations, you don't really have to worry about which page-description language to use — provided that your computer system has already been set up to work with the printer(s) that you utilize.
		If you have a printer like this, your or your system administration have probably already decided what page-description language you want your printer to use; and you or the system administrator have probably already set up your computer to tell your applications to use that particular page-description language when printing documents.

		As with many PARC projects, Interpress was not commercialized at its time of creation, and its primary effect on the world was to cause its creators to get fed up, form their own company, and publish their own version.

		It is similar in syntax and function as the FORTH programming language, and as demonstrated, it has the ability to allow you to define and later use subroutines.
