Quark maps route to Creative Suite integration

Posted on 3 Dec 2008 at 11:04

Quark has released a free booklet, online content and video that demonstrate how QuarkXPress 8 users can work with Adobe Creative Suite applications -Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash-and PDFs.

The booklet, which was previously available for QuarkXPress 7, has been updated to reflect the changes in both QuarkXPress 8 and Adobe Creative Suite 4. These include QuarkXPress’s support for native Illustrator and Photoshop files, built-in Flash design tools, and use of file and document format standards such as SWF, XHTML and CSS.

QuarkXPress have long been able to place Photoshop PSD files in layouts and the booklet explains when designers should use PSD files for images and gives tips on how to get the best results. Quark can also import native Illustrator files, where previously it could only handle EPS images exported from the Adobe application.

“QuarkXPress now has better integration with Adobe Creative Suite than ever before, and this free booklet highlights how users can leverage all of these applications to improve their design experience,” said Marc Horne, Quark senior product marketing manager. “The booklet also highlights some of the differences between QuarkXPress 8 and Adobe InDesign to help users evaluate the most appropriate page-layout tool for specific tasks, and it outlines how both QuarkXPress and InDesign integrate with key design applications within Creative Suite.”

The free book is available to download from quark.com/en/cs_integration/ along with a short video that shows some of the highlights.

Quark recently added support for using Adobe InDesign and InCopy in Quark Publishing System (QPS) workflows.
