Maybe you can use Acrobat Reader with its DDE-API. It's kind of oldfashioned, but works on a windows machine.
If you can Attach the desired printer driver to a file where you can provide the filename (this is not standard and i don't know how it can be done), you should be able to do it. You may have some trouble with timing problems, because Acrobat doesn't tell you, when it's finished with printing. The DDE-API is documented in the Acrobat SDK, look for 'IACOverview.pdf'.

The only PDF->PCL converters that I know of are all commercial. >Xpdf converts PDF to PS but not to PCL... It can also print to PCL printers, but only the commercial version.
