PStill™

PStill™ is an advanced PostScript distillery which turns EPS and PS files into viewable, beautiful antialiased PDF. Also allows instant viewing of EPS files in any OS X application.

Quick Install: 
	Copy PStill to your Applications folder
	Copy Services folder to your Library folder
	You still need to install your own PS fonts (see below)
      Launch PStill to install these fonts - logout/login for Services to take effect

Installing PStill Notes
Installing Fonts

After you install PStill into Applications or Applications/Stone Studio, you complete the installation by launching PStill and it installs your Type 1 fonts from:
	a. /Library/Fonts
	b. ~/Library/Fonts
	c. /Network/Library/Fonts

If no Type 1 PostScript fonts are found, you have a few options:

1. Convert your existing TTF fonts with Stone Design's free TrueBlue
	http://www.stone.com/TrueBlue/ for more info!
	
2. Install free GNU Fonts with Stone Design's free GNU Font Installer
	http://www.stone.com/PStill/ for more info!

Installing EPS to PDF Service

Pstill can be used by other OS X applications to render beautiful PDF when an EPS  or legacy illustration file is dropped into, for example, Stone Design's Create®. Create® automatically converts the file into PDF which you can then print, size, skew, rotate, mask, flip or combine with other graphics. This "automation" comes from PStill's companion Filter service, EPS to PDF Filter. Simply copy the folder "Services" in "Stone Studio Extras/Automatic EPS to PDF to "Library" in your computer's /Library folder or your home folder's Library folder. You'll have to logout and login for this to "take effect". 

PStill™ Demo Script

Install your PostScript Fonts (not included) into one of these places:

If you have no Type 1 PostScript fonts, then you might want to install the free GNU fonts - we have provided the free application "GNU Font Installer" at www.stone.com/NewDownload.html which will install the free GNU fonts.

1. Install and launch PStill - the first time you launch, the fonts are installed. If you get a permissions warning, then login as the administrator and relaunch. More info on installing is available in PStill's searchable online help.

2. Choose Conversion -> Sample to test convert an EPS file
	- when it converts, drag it into Create, for example.

3. Click "Options" and change a few, reconvert the file

4. On Mac OS X, if you have installed the Library/Services/EPS to PDF Filter.app, then you can drag EPS directly into Create® and other applicatins, and PStill will automatically be called to convert the file into a viewable PDF! Drag an EPS into a Create window, and watch what happens.
