In QuarkXPress 10, Quark replaced the on-screen rendering engine and the results are far more accurate than what you see in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, or other Adobe apps. On-screen display dramatically better than Adobe’s The example below was created in Illustrator, then imported and converted to native objects in InDesign and QuarkXPress.Ī product label in Adobe Illustrator (top), converted to InDesign (center) and converted to QuarkXPress (bottom), with text objects selected.
In contrast, QuarkXPress 2016 converts the objects exactly as they were in Illustrator.

While InDesign can convert a native Adobe Illustrator file into native InDesign objects (it can’t convert PDF or EPS), the resulting text frames are broken up and difficult to use. Text block conversions are more usable in QuarkXPress That’s a limitation of how the PDF was originally generated. (If you subsequently activate those fonts, the document displays normally.) Unfortunately, sometimes when converting PDF files each line of text ends with a hard return that may need to be removed before editing the text. However, any fonts used in these files need to be active on your computer, or else QuarkXPress displays its “missing font” dialog. Unbelievably, every EPS, PDF, and AI file converted perfectly and within seconds. To test QuarkXPress’s ability to convert a wide variety of files, I scavenged up the most complex files I could find, dating back to the early 1990s. (The Scale feature in QuarkXPress lets you choose which attributes to scale.) After converting to native QuarkXPress objects, the chart or map can be resized without changing the size of the text within it. That’s never been possible in a page layout program before.Īlso, publishers who import charts or maps now have a unique trick available to them.

Here’s one timesaving use for these conversions: Publications almost always receive advertisements in PDF format, and once they’re converted to native QuarkXPress objects, the publication can update prices, dates, and colors inside the ad. You can then use the Beziér (pen) tools in QuarkXPress to adjust them. (Many designers prefer to rebuild artwork from scratch rather than wrestle with this mess.)Īfter converting, vector graphics become native QuarkXPress objects and Adobe Illustrator paths become QuarkXPress paths with the exact same Beziér anchor points as in Illustrator. In contrast, converting these files in Adobe Illustrator breaks the text into so many text objects that it’s almost impossible to edit them. Speaking of text, when converting from these other formats, QuarkXPress does an amazing job of putting text that belongs together into one text box. The text in these graphics is also converted to native QuarkXPress text, so you can easily format it to match the brand by using Style Sheets.
Conveniently, when these items are converted to native objects in QuarkXPress 2016, their colors are added to the Colors palette where they can be replaced all at once with your brand-approved colors. Designers often work with charts, graphs, and PowerPoint slides that almost never use the correct colors or fonts for a company’s brand. The importance of this capability cannot be overstated.
