In addition, we continue to provide support for Mac OS X Tiger, Mac OS X Leopard, Windows XP, and Windows Vista,” said Tim Banister, General Manager for Desktop Technology for Quark. Quark continues to lead the way by supporting the latest operating systems and QuarkXPress 8.1 is no exception, as it is both Mac® OS X Snow Leopard and Windows® 7 ready. “This release demonstrates that Quark continues to deliver value to our customers by providing them with mid-cycle releases with significant added functionality at no extra cost. QuarkXPress spell checking is now carried out with a new palette that enables users to save time by more easily adjusting their text as necessary while in the middle of the spell-checking process. ![]() Item Styles and Item Find/Change now fully integrate drop shadows, and users can update Item Styles with a single click to reflect changes they make in the layout. A new keyboard modifier makes picture drag and drop more precise and predictable. QuarkXPress 8.1 also addresses outstanding issues reported by customers and introduces a host of improved everyday design features that enable faster and more precise page creation. The market is demanding more sophisticated PDF output capabilities and this is a major advance in that direction,” commented Dan Logan, Product Manager for QuarkXPress. “Greater control of transparency in PDF is becoming increasingly important to our users: enabling output providers to control processes like flattening, optional content and color management further downstream through native transparency, and layer support within PDF is a priority for us. In addition, QuarkXPress is the only layout application that gives layer-by-layer controls in its output options – useful when you need to send content with multiple variants to an output provider within a single PDF. QuarkXPress 8.1 offers fast and flexible PDF output with its new native transparency mode which allows objects to which transparency has been applied within QuarkXPress to remain unflattened in the final PDF output. Having this greater level of control has had a major impact on our PDF workflow.” ![]() We are extremely impressed with the new native transparency feature, as not only does it improve performance of PDF export, but it gives us the ability to address color management and other processes that may need to be modified in the PDF. As both a publisher and a printer, we are in a unique position to understand both sides of the coin and realize the significance of these new improvements. In fact, we are already using it to produce the front covers of all of our 130 magazines and are extremely happy with the results. QuarkXPress 8.1 introduces a ‘Native Transparency’ mode for creating PDFs which can offer designers faster and more flexible PDF output support and provide greater control over their PDF workflow process.Įrwin Danis, Premedia Director at Roularta Media Group said, “We have been collaborating closely with Quark on this release and have been testing QuarkXPress 8.1 in a live production environment. ![]() This latest update improves PDF output capabilities and introduces features that make the page layout process even more intuitive and productive. today announced the release of the QuarkXPress® 8.1 updater which is now available to existing QuarkXPress 8 users as a free download from the Quark website.
