I need to convert a Quark 7 file to Quark 6, but don’t have access to Quark 7. I have been sent a version 7 file I need to work with in my version 6 installation, and I only need to make this conversion 1 time. Does anyone offer an online conversion service, is there an inexpensive conversion utility, or some other solution? Thanks. Randy

Hi! I work for a commercial printer and have an AGFA digital workflow/CTP unit. We are having problems with the PDF conversion in Quark 7.3 which was no happening in Quark 6. We print from Quark to our workflow which creates the pdf, but our CMYK screen values are not accurate. When we rip from Quark we get dot loss of up to 35% on some colors…. how can I fix it?:

Help, chrissy

Claudia asked the question I’m searching for on 1/9/08 — how to convert a Quark 7 file to Quark 6 — but she figured it out before you answered her. Guess I’m not as smart as she is, because I can’t figure it out. You’d think it could be easily found in Quark Help, but no such luck.

Please help!

Thanks,
Debbie

Hey again Elisabeth,

I figured it out!
It was quite easy, just wasn’t looking in the right place.

Thanks!

Hi Elisabeth,
Thanks for your article.

I am having trouble figuring out how to save down from Quark 7 to Quark 6 and I desperately need to know in order to open a file.

Can you tell me how?
Thanks again!
Claudia

Hi ANNA,

Another option to check ur job……..go to preferences setting > PDF tab > check on “Create Postscript file for later distilling” > Export as PDF with ur setting

Now PS file created instead of PDF……..distill the PS in ur Acrobat Professional and get PDF……….

Hope this is working……..

I am having trouble saving my Quark Xpress 7 jobs to PDF. I am not getting any final pdf after I do all the necessary steps in Print Dialog box. I have the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional. Can someone help me?

Hello, nice article on the PDF Export of Quark Xpress 7, Quark 7 will be running in native intel before InDesign. Quark is still the tool of choice for about 75% of the commercial printing customers that I work with. I develop both Quark Xtensions and Adobe Plug-Ins so I support and use Quark and Adobe. When it’s time to really build some pages, it’s Quark for me, still. Looking forward to Quark 7 myself.

Thanks for the info, I knew the PSD Import Xtension wasn’t included in the first beta. I didn’t download the Beta 2 yet, so I am glad to know the Xtension is included there.

Re your last comment about PSDs…

the PSD Import XT wasn’t included in the first version of the Quark 7 beta.

With little fanfare they’ve included it with the 2nd version of the beta, though. (released 3/31, expires 5/2). I can import PSDs fine in this one.

Just fyi
