Open A Qxd File Without Quark Theory Of Atom. PageZephyr Search also allows one to copy the text out of an InDesign file without having. Quark Qxd Doc Xtractor is. You are not able to open a qxd file created on a Mac in Quark XPress on a PC? Confused What exactly happens when you try to do that? BTW, in order to be able to edit PDF files you will need Adobe Actobat (not the Reader that is). No other appliaction I know of will let you edit PDF's. If you want to edit EPS.
WHy would you be doing that? For what reason? Quark files are layout files, photoshop is an image editing software. If the Quark file contains images then you should find them in an image folder. Quark links to images from a folder.
Open those images and edit them and save it back in the same folder with the same name and type (tiff or whatever) and it will be updated in Quark. Unless there is some other reason, i don't see why you should open Quark files in photoshop. If it was a print project you need to convert to web, save as an EPS and then open it in photoshop. Dwzemens said: Can you tell me what format I might expect to find those files in? Thanks again. -dwz It depends on the client.
I would save it as tiffs but if your client had reasons to save it otherwise, it could be some other format. Nonetheless, yet editable in photoshop. The thing is, the linked image will not be the same as the final ouptut from Quark. The designer might have created the image and then linked it in Quark and then added text in Quark. So if you edited the image from the linked folder, you'd be lacking the text that was entered in Quark. The best option, to make sure you get the final output version, save as eps (or export, not sure about quark) make sure you go through the options about 'embedding' image, if any and then open that file in photoshop. Well if you don't have quark and the files are sent to you in quark, then like I said, if you open the image files, you might not be seeing the FINAL output.
Have the client save it as eps and send it to you. Not sure about [ifran[url='view](opens quark files though, you could try that and grab a screen shot.
The best option is having them send you the EPS or the exported TIFF. Or download a 30 day trial of Quark and solve the problem! Make sure you install any fonts they sent so there wouldn't be any discrepancies with fonts.
I was wondering if any of you other prepress experts has any painless and accurate methods for converting a Mac Quark file (with linked art) to a Windows Microsoft Word file, and still retaining all it's font formatting and quality art (with the knowledge that the same font might be available in Windows). Here's the situation: Client builds a file in Quark 6 (Macintosh). The file basically is a 'letter' with logo art (vector), a person's signature (tiff) and text. Line 6 Fbv Shortboard Mkii Guitar Footswitch Manual. The salutation, reader's address and text will be variable printing. Now, usually, we would have no problem using our in house system and such Quark Xtensions as Darwin to do this.
But, due to quantity and the price the job was estimated (and lack of knowledge on the part of the estimator, sales person and production) the job is being farmed out to another company that specializes in mass quantity variable jobs. Unfortunately, they only accept Windows Microsoft Word files. The client is unaware that the job gets farmed out.
