Save pdf from quark

Last updated: Nov 09, Applies to: novaPDF Note: We strive to keep our articles as accurate as possible. E-mail your converted Quark file automatically with the novaPDF E-mail sending section without the need for using separate E-mail programs. Password-protect the PDF file automatically when converting to it with novaPDF if your Quark file contains important or sensitive information. That way you can keep the document safe from unauthorized access and other users can only perform the actions you enable on the encryption options.

Merge the file with other documents after converting it to PDF. Apply PDF watermarks automatically images and text to the converted Quark file. Add bookmarks to the document for the important sections or paragraphs for easier reading. From the Print Style dropdown list define a custom style or choose the default preset available. Go in to your preferences. Save your document.

This irritant should dissapear on you. Any other thoughts Cheers, MeHarty. Whilst this does indeed stop the first of the two 'Save' dialogue boxes from appearing, it raises some questions. In particular, choosing an alternative PS printer doesn't provide access to the Adobe PDF options in the printer dialogue; i.

The resolution, for example, is limited to that printer's maximum of dpi, whereas the 'Adobe PDF printer' provides a choice of file resolutions all the way up to dpi we need to save dpi PostScript files. One can of course set the resolution in the main Print dialogue, under 'Device' in the left column, but which of the two resolution settings then takes precedence when you're effectively combining a printer with an incompatible PPD?

And that's been on Jaguar, Panther and Tiger for me. I believe the PPD settings take precendence, especially when printing to postscript.

I may be wrong. The only way you can know is to test it. Are you using the Adobe PPD? See the following picture. I have a postscript output style and I am calling the Adobe PPD which shows a resolution of dpi, way higher then what is possible with my PS printer. Also, we have always chosen this as the printer where you have your Accel-a-Writer 3G. Job done. It determines which blocks of text have common attributes and ensures that the correct amalgamated style is applied to all of these blocks rather than creating potentially hundreds of different paragraph styles for hundreds of different text blocks.

There is the option in Preferences to either create tables in Quark by recognizing a table structure in the PDF and creating a table from it - very clever , or to ignore all tables and simply recreate the illusion of tables using boxes, strokes and text boxes. Our limited tests demonstrated that the Quark version of the PDF2DTP plugin did a much more precise formatting job when creating tables than the InDesign version of the plugin.

However, since the conversion process is so fast it would be worth seeing which option works best for you and go with that. Overall, we felt that the layout results were very impressive when using the plugin. The results of the InDesign and Quark versions the odd table element aside were extremely similar, and very close to the original PDF.

Where layouts started to lose integrity were when complex text runarounds were used, particularly when running around any shape other than a simple rectangle. Background images tended to get chopped up as well, especially when any kind of transparency had been used in the original PDF such as a drop shadow. Suffice to say that there were not insurmountable issues - but issues nonetheless.
