Description of PStill 1.74.14

A PostScript to PDF converter system

PStill is not only a simple converter but offers features not available in other software. The application combines PDF creation with PDF reprocessing and supports N-UP processing and prepress options like CMYK color conversion, spot colors, overprinting control and PDF/X output. It can also be used as Windows PDF printer, producing PDF directly from any application - even over the network.

Because PStill combines affordable and reliable PDF generation with a rich feature set. The imaging model of PDF is similar to PostScript and the PostScript conversion method of creating PDF offers very good quality - PStill works this way.

The 'virtual print server' feature makes PStill/Win unique, one PStill can be used from several workstations to centralize PDF creation - minimizing total costs and setup efforts.

Editor's review for PStill

Those that are involved with data entry jobs or any tasks that involve a large amount of data that needs to be moved or converted with regularity can come up against a number of difficulties, many of which arise due to printing problems or conversions that do not work due to separate file formats.

However, there are tools on the market that can make data migration a much easier task, one of which leads the market, the PStill software. At a most basic level, PStill can be used to convert EPS, JPEG, TIFF, PostScript, and BMF files to PDF, while also transcoding PDF to PDF. It can also generate press ready PS and EPS files. Other basic features include a direct PDF printer server for those who use a Windows operating system and can produce PDF files on the Windows system from any application over the network. With this many options, changing your files in files that are ready for publishing or printing has never been quite so easy.

For those who use the MacOSX, there is also a version of the PStill software that allows you to perform nearly all of the same functions simply formatted and programmed to meet the requirements of a MAC computer over a PC computer. With this foresight, users of all operating systems can benefit from the ease of the PStill conversion tricks.

Its main key features are:
• PDF to PDF Transcoding to enable users to print or process all types of PDF files regardless of their original properties.
• Conversion to PDF, PDF/A, and PDF/X all in one output or in a mixed set depending on user specifications.
• Batch conversion to PDF, PDF, and PDF/A as a command line program that can run your script for you.
• Output to EPS and PostScript so that all files can be generated in readable EPS including all images.
• Automatic rescaling and page assembly so that each page of your PDF turns out as it should regardless of its compression or conversion factors.
• Virtual Print Server for Windows so that all computers in a network can print straight from any Windows application in PDF.
• Linkable library in DLL and the Windows Version to integrate all parsing, conversions, and transcoding

We have to conclude that PStill conversion program is not only one of the easiest to use for all your PDF needs, it is also one of the most well rounded so that you can troubleshoot any problems that may arise on your network.
