Is it possible to convert EPL and ZPL (thermal printer languages) to common format (it could be vector grapic file like SVG)?
It will be great if I could convert from commont format to ZPL or EPL.

Eltron Programming Language (EPL) is a printer control language used to produce printed labels for various Eltron model printers. It was superseded by Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) after Zebra Technologies acquired Eltron.
These are the major differences between ZPL and ZPL II: With ZPL II, all data fields are formatted as they are received. In standard ZPL, the data fields are not processed until after the ^XZ (End Format) command is received. New commands and enhancements to existing commands were added into the ZPL II language.
The Zebra Printer Language (ZPL) format is a full-featured printer language for producing labels that contain text, barcodes, lines and boxes, and graphics. When using a ZPL file as input, eFORMz reads in the individual elements on the label and converts them into the eFORMz proprietary device-independent format.
If you do any amount of work with Zebra thermal printers, get a design tool. The FREE ZebraDesigner2 software will do. This way you can export your printer based on whatever printer driver you have selected (EPL/ZPL/CPCL). If you need to export code for non-Zebra printers (Sato, Datamax, Intermec) look at NiceLabel
Once you have ZebraDesigner installed and driver selected, create a new port mapped to a location on your hard drive with write privileges. Then print the label and the driver will create a txt file with the printer code.
Use the printer code in your application as needed.
