FWIW, I was able to get a readable PDF with figures by running the 
original file "file.ps" through ghostscript first with `gs 
-sDEVICE=pswrite -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=new.ps file.ps`, then 
distilling "new.ps" with PStill.  Panther's distiller might also work.

Distilling file.ps directly with PStill produced figures in the wrong 
location, and some of them appeared decomposed (as if the layers were 
separated?).

hth,
Adam
