Could someone please tell me if Xpert Scale is compatible with Quark 8 -- or if this function is now built in to the program? TIA Simon

I would like to know if there's a cure for two very annoying issues I am seeing with QuarkXpress 7.3.1 on an Intel duel core duo 24in iMac running a fresh install of Mac Os 10.54 (also seen in 10.5.3 and earlier) on 4GB of healthy RAM... First, I suffer from recurring graphical glitches in every Quark document -- most commonly the vertical ...

When my QXP 7 file is exported to PDF, part of a placed EPS file becomes invisible because the specified fill (white) is converted to transparent. The EPS was created in Illustrator 10 and comprises two different fonts converted to outlines. In the PDF, one of the fonts displays correctly while the other is invisible. I can work around this by ...

The only non-standard XT I have installed in the Quark Labs image drag & drop - but I will disable it.Simon

Thanks for the link (I did a search here before I posted but nothing came up for SetColorFill...). I am somewhat reassured by that reply... but still concerned at the quantity of error messages I get -- filling up the log with 4000 alerts within a few minutes of opening Quark.The only operational problem I have had is Quark refusing to quit and ...

When I tried to quit QXP 7.3.1 on my Intel Mac running Os 10.5.2 (recent clean install), it stopped responding. It doesn't respond to Force Quit either. Is this a known issue with Quark 7/Os 10.5.2? My other apps are all closing gracefully.Maybe it has something to do with the thousands of ''SetColorFill'' error messages that Quark generates in ...

Could someone please update this thread in light of the new 8.12 update for Acrobat Pro. Is the CUPS workaround still needed or can Quark 7.3.1 now print to a Distiller PPD?(I don't seem able to, in MacOS 10.5.2)Simon

Is this CUPS fix still necessary with Acrobat Pro v8.12? Using MacOs 10.5.2, Acrobat 8.12 and QuarkXpress 7.3.1, I still don't seem able to print successfully to a Distiller PPD, ie it goes through all the motions but produces no PDF file.Export to PDF works ok though - which PPD does that use?Simon

Hm, further investigation proves it to be not associated with my old document. As soon as Quark launches, I get a slew f these alerts in Console, about 150 of them. If I switch focus from the Quark app to any other and then click back on the Quark app I will get another 150. If I open a new document in Quark I will get a thousand or more of these ...

Intel iMac/Os 10.5.2: I opened a Quark 4.11 file in Quark 7.3.1 and after importing/minor repairs, it displayed fine. But at some point after that, while working on the document, resaving it under a new filename and printing to PDF, I started to get error messages in Console - thousands of them which were repeating over and over for as long as the ...
