TAILOR PS and EPS editing software takes advantage of the NEXTSTEP Environment. Englewood Colorado, August 5, 1993 - PostScript is a type of format widely used to transfer information between applications and platforms in many publishing environments. However, by using this universal format, one looses the ability to make any changes to the imported information, apart from sizing and positioning. Now, for all NEXTSTEP users, Tailor eliminates this important restriction! Tailor enables you to graphically edit any PostScript document, including multi-page PostScript files imported from MS Windows or Macintosh platforms. You can move, reshape, or delete all types of graphic objects, such as line art, text and pixel images. You can re-color, modify or add line art. You can alter typefaces, modify or add text, and regroup text lines into paragraphs for more flexible editing. And you can save the results back in a PostScript file or use the standard copy and paste functions to place them in any NEXTSTEP application. Some of the attributes offered through TAILOR are: Multi-page support o open multi-page PostScript documents o randomly browse through their pages o extract any part of any page for pasting in another application o edit any part of any page and save or paste the result separately o save and print multi-page documents PostScript input & reconstruction o retain embedded font definitions as line-work where appropriate o retain named colors and separation colors o reconstruct more text paragraph features better o optimize input of PostScript from widely used applications Editing o undo capability o create and edit paths, including the bezier control points o enter numeric position and size o retain structuring information (grouping) in the saved document Alembic Systems International Ltd. is an international distributor of North American and European software for the NEXTSTEP Operating Environment.
