I have a work ( a hard work for me ):
Print payment receipts starting from data in .prn archive.
How convert .prn in usable format for fusion pro?
.prn is a vague extension indicating something used as a output
file. In your case it looks as if it is simply plain text. Probably
they are using this for fixed width printing.
Its typically out of the scope of FusionPro to convert one output to
another. There are others who do this specifically. With that said,
one way to hand this case may be to parse the .prn on the fly with
JavaScript or ahead of time. Then just feed FusionPro chunks of data
while applying a fixed width font. One hard part may be telling where
one page starts and another ends. Sometimes datastreams have ASCII
character number 12 (AKA formfeed) embedded between pages to help
make this distinction.
If you must to even more with the data other than print, then your
only option will be to write a parser for to try to extract the data.
This can be really hard, impossible, and error prone. OTOH, in some
cases it works.
Better, would be to go back to the source of this file and ask for
something else.
