# Converting PDF Files

## Overview

PDF files can be converted into PCL, PNG, or TIFF file types through a Flow. This can be done by locating the correct conversion steps under **Data > PDF** header in the step toolbox. The section below will provide a demonstration using the **Convert PDF to PCL** step. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image-1778873197226.png)

## Convert PDF Example

1. In a Project Folder, [create a new Flow](/version-10/docs/creating-your-first-flow-2).
2. Drag the **Convert PDF to PCL** step from the Toolbox. To locate the step, expand the **Data > PDF** categories. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image-1778873241517.png)
3. Define the inputs to the step. For this example, **PCL File Name** and **PDF Document** inputs were set to Constant values.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image-1778873289425.png)
4. To ensure the step is working as intended, add a Form using a [Download File or Multiple File Download](/version-10/docs/using-the-multiple-file-upload-and-download-controls) control and debug the Flow.
