Although Quark Xpress is capable of exporting PDFs directly doing so will cause issues when the PDFs are uploaded to InSite. Therefore the only approved method for creating PDFs from Quark Xpress is to generate a postscript file from you document and use Adobe Acrobat Distiller to convert it into a PDF using the approved RRD job options.
To process postscript files from Quark Express into PDFs you should first set up a Distiller Watched folder.
With your watched folder configured you now can set up Quark Xpress and print postscript files into your watched folder and Distiller will process them into PDFs.
Your final PDFs that are uploaded to RRD Pontiac InSite need to be in single page format. That is each page needs to be saved as a separate PDF file and named for it’s page folio. This is necessary in order to ensure that the pages are imposed in the proper order. It is possible to repeat the steps in the methods above to produce single page PDFs one at a time however that can be time consuming and tedious especially for magazines with a large number of pages. Alternatively there is a way to use the methods above to create a multipage PDF from which you can separate into correctly named single page PDFs. To do this you can use two tools you probably already have at your disposal. You can use Adobe Acrobat to open the multipage PDF and extract pages from it into single page PDF files. After the pages are separated you can use Adobe Bridge to batch rename the pages in a single step. Here is you you can do it.
