Adobe Acrobat - Converting Quark 5.0 (qxd) files to pdf
Expert: Jenny Berger - 1/18/2003
Question I am seeking to email a Quark 5.0 file as an attachment to a friend who doesn't have access to Quark. So the first thing I thought to do was to convert the Quark file to an Acrobat pdf. But when I went on the Adobe Acrobat Online site, it didn't appear that qxd files were supported by Acrobat. Can Acrobat convert qxd files to pdf's? If so, can you tell me how to do this? If not, can you suggest another way to accomplish my goal? Thank you.
Answer Hello Robert, and thanks for your question.
You can create a PDF file from a Quark document using Acrobat. The desktop version of Acrobat comes with Acrobat Distiller which can convert the Quark file to PDF.
According to the Adobe Create PDF Online web site (http://createpdf.adobe.com/index.pl), native Quark (qxd) files do not appear to be supported for online conversion. However, the service does support PostScript (.ps) files. If you can save your Quark file as a PostScript file, then you can use the Create PDF Online service.
