Seems that Quark 6.5 works fine on the G-5s where I work, but has major issues on the Intel Mac. Just trying to find out if there had been documented issues with earlier versions of Quark when being installed on Intel Macs. Bill

Just curious, Has anyone heard of Four51? A W2P solution I recently heard of.

OXburger, Thanks for the links. Bill

I always preferred True Type fonts to PS fonts because I was always getting the missing printer font warning. Was a bit problem, so I would just TT fonts. Now what with me working with both Windows and Mac, I believe that Open Type is the way to go. That way I could use a particular Open Type...

MJNC, We meet again. A company that I recently worked would accept Acrobat files (and probably still does) as camera ready art but a particular service provider required all files submitted to them to be either Illustrator files, Freehand files, or .eps files. This created all sorts of...

Eran, There is a 3rd party software available called VueScan. It is a genaric scanner software that has an excellent descreening mode. It also works with over 400 scanners since it was developed to keep old scanner functioning. I have been using it for years myself because of an old Nikon film...

Dimtri, I read the posts for this string and was curious so I did a bit of reading in the Adobe Help Manual for Illustrtor CS4. This is what I found: In the index there was no mention of snapping an object to another anywhere. There was mention of snapping points to each other. While...

Communications and High end equipment and software are key to having a smoother prepress work flow. But I believe that there is another aspect that has been missed. Training your people. Invest the time and money to train your people in all of the programs that you work with. In my opinion...

MJNC First off I didn't mean to seemingly imply that you couldn't read. I still believe that you may have some corruption within the desk top application that is part of the Mac OS. Reason i believe that is I created a quark file and saved it to my desk top. I added the .qxd file extension...

Hey MJNC, Not being able to see it actually happen, it's hard to say exactly what the problem is, But it sounds is there is a bit of corruption with your desktop application. To make certain, store that particular file and other files you have had troubles renaming in a folder and store the...

I haven't used Quark extensively, in fact I would be rather frustrated if I had to create a job with it. But I seem to remember that there was a compatibility issue with opening Quark 3/4 files with Quark 6. I may be mistaken. If you have an older version of quark on your system try that. If 8...

PDFs from word PDFs from word Scott, I feel your pain over the PDf document created from a word file. I worked for a custom file folder manufacturer in their art department for almost 3 years. The guys who work in shops where their bosses saw the light and bought the tool boxes to fix the...
