In testing the Q betas and doing things I really wouldn't do in real life, I have had crashes. While I haven't had your issue of crashing and loss of work, it can, if nothing else, give one peace of mind should such a thing happen. I saved it by saving all pages as EPS this last month with Quark because it took so long to save all the pages together and then it crashed because of a couple of adverts that it didn't like so I had to start the save all over again.īy default, QXP does not save backups of your projects. I used to save as EPS and then distill it when I was using InDesign cause I had a problem once when I saved it straight to PDF.

So when I make up adverts I'm best to save them as PDF from AD and then import them into Quark. I saved the page as a PDF using the Default PDF Output Style and it seems to have saved it correctly this time. Does that version work?īut please do use the Export route and not printing to PostScript and distilling if you are doing this. If the above doesn't work fine, try starting a new project and import this PDF and try a PDF Export again. I am attaching the PDF of that ad I generated from AD. So for instance, what happens if you just use the Default PDF Output Style? Just choose any of QXP's as-installed CMYK-type of PDFs. This will revert to the QuarkXPress Default source profile. I usually delete this source set up profile when opening IDML files when I think about it because the originating ID file (from where this color source profile comes from) may have been set up incorrectly for my purposes. and then select and delete the IDML source setup profile. But to be certain, one can delete the IDML source setup via the menu choices: Edit | Color Setups | Source. It should be defined as per the IDML file that was opened and should produce the same results. I also need to be able to package up the final file with all the images used in the file to save the month's adverts in one place as I get people coming back a year later saying they want to re-use the advert they had in October 2017 for example so it's easier to just go to the folder for October 2017 and find their advert in there other than hunt amongst all the old adverts I have saved. I have downloaded AP but all my files with articles on are in Word format and you can't import Word into Publisher. The BWB advert is completely the wrong shade of green in the logo. March 2019_061.pdf in the post above is how the advert saved originally on the page. If you look at my original post and the post just above this one you will see the difference in colour.

Why not download Affinity's Publisher Beta and trying the complete holistic approach.Īs for the colour its odd that both are cmyk/8 and swap US yet you get noticeable colour difference. Hopefully it makes sense cause I'd like to work out the problem before next month so I can carry on using AD and AP as I really like them. The PDF coverted from eps is the right colours and the PDF saved from quark is the result from me saving the AD file as a PDF, importing it into Quark and then exporting the page to PDF for the printer. I've attached two of the files to show the problem. I'm not sure if it's a problem with what I'm doing in AD and AP or if it's a problem with Quark. So now I'm not sure the best format to save files in to import them into Quark. But a couple of the adverts that were sent in as JPG that I converted to EPS in AP went screwy when I saved them as PDF and had big boxes covering some of the letters. So I had to go back to AD and resave the files as eps. When I looked at the files in Quark they looked fine but when I exported the whole magazine into PDF the colours had changed on some of the adverts. This month I decided to use AD, AP and QuarkXpress instead, so I saved the adverts as PDF to import into QuarkXpress. I normally import my PSD files into InDesign and then export the file as a PDF for the printer.

I've just started using Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo and QuarkXpress 2018 as I'm trying to move away from Photoshop and InDesign for producing my magazine.
