PStill is a user friendly PostScript PDF convertor, PDF redistiler, and PDF page chainging application with many options and features.
You can drag .eps and .ps files onto the application icon or the convertor window to immediately convert a file.
You can combine many documents into one PDF document and you can redistill Mac OS X PDF files to save 40-70% in size.
Here are some key features of "PStill":
Convert to PDF
Easy and convenient EPS, PS, PDF and several raster image formats to PDF conversion on Windows and MacOS X, able to concat multiple files of all types in the output, also as mixed set. That means you can just drop in some PS, PDF and e.g. TIFF files and PStill will create one PDF from the input set.
PDF Transcoding (Optimization for size or converting text to outlines)
Batch Convert to PDF and automatic work flow
PostScript flattening/normalization
N-Up processing and special conversion options
Font conversion and normalization
Produce compliant PDF/X
Tile Posters
Combine many files into one PDF
Make secure PDF which resticts viewing, printing, copying and/or editing.
Limitations:
Your PDF will have an extra splash page with evaluation info.
What's New:
Text Extraction works on INTEL now
Non-integral media bounding boxes are rounded up to nearest point instead of rounding down which might have caused miniscule clipping
Better wording on Open and Save panels depending on type of Job (eg Normalize to EPS...)
Saving a JobOptions file will add it the list of available jobOptions when you save to PStill's magic JobOptions folder
Halting all jobs in watched folder no longer auto-quits PStill.
