PCL to CUPS to PDF

I have a PDF printer set up on a Linux box through CUPS and available via the network via LP (port 515).

I'm trying to have a remote host, that runs a proprietary application designed to print to PCL supporting printers, print to this Linux box, and for the jobs to come out as PDFs. So far, the jobs come through fine, but the PCL codes do not get interpreted correctly. Meaning that I'm not getting the correct fonts or form feeds, just the codes printing out as part of the "text".

Is there a way to have the print jobs go through some sort of PCL supporting driver before going to PDF?

Thanks!
