I have a couple of Quark files from a customer and I cannot open them with anything I have here. I think Quark can export as RTF or EPS format. If so, would somebody volunteer to take my 2 or 3 files by email and convert them to something I can read. Thanks.

Oh, yeah...I'd have the customer do it, but they don't have Quark either. The originator is no longer available, so we're both stuck.

Hi Diane:

Quark files, and even their EPS's, are a bit tricky to bring into other programs. Quark handles fonts a bit differently than most design programs, and Quark files/exports are tough to handle without a copy a Quark ... or a really good PostScript 3 interpreter.

Hence, I'd suggest you have them output a high-res PDF (Acrobat) file with fonts embedded and image/text compression turned off. If they're sending you a Quark file, I'll guessing you're getting it from an ad agency or graphic design firm ... either of which should be skilled in creating PDFs. CorelDRAW does a great job of importing PDF files (single page), and they e-mail really well.

Regards,

Jim

Oops, didn't see your "Oh Yeah." Take the file to a service bureau with Quark, and have them convert it to a PDF.

...and if it turns out to be a QuarkExpress document for the PC and the Mac Quark does not open it (which it "should" but sometimes these programs "get moody") I can open it for you here!
