![]() ![]() IDML Import is smart functionality – and we invite our QuarkXPress 2017 users to download the update, test the new feature, and let us know about their experiences and where we can still improve,” Günther added. With the new beta of our IDML Import, our goal is to make life as easy as possible for designers. When switching, often a big requirement is to recreate InDesign layouts in QuarkXPress, which can be fairly time-consuming. Matthias Günther, Director of Quark’s Desktop Business Unit, added: “Today, more and more InDesign users are switching to QuarkXPress, especially since Quark offers the ‘Competitive Upgrade’ from InDesign to QuarkXPress. With IDML Import, InDesign files are converted directly into editable QuarkXPress objects that retain attributes such as style-sheet names and master pages contained in the IDML file. While designers can use QuarkXPress to convert PDF files into native QuarkXPress objects, or copy InDesign objects to QuarkXPress, during this conversion style-sheet names and master pages get lost. IDML is the open file format of InDesign that can be exported in several ways. However, all other functionality of the QuarkXPress 2017 January 2018 Update includes production quality and is recommend for every user of QuarkXPress 2017, said the company. Beta means that development of the new Adobe InDesign IDML Import feature is not 100% finalized, and may not be 100% stable at the time of its release. The new IDML Import in QuarkXPress 2017 is a beta version of functionality that will help designers convert InDesign documents to QuarkXPress with as little effort as possible. ![]() The free update includes the first look at Quark’s new Adobe InDesign IDML Import feature. If flattening should occur, it should generate images which have a resolution equal to the resolution of the images which has the lowest resolution, located in that same location.Quark Software has announced a new update to QuarkXPress 2017 called the QuarkXPress 2017 January 2018 Update. Indesign should never upscale images and always keep the original resolution, as long it doesn't exceed the max resolution defined in the PDF-export setting. This issue could be replicated all to way back to version CS6. Low resolution images are no longer detected as low resolution and are passing trough any PDF workflow validation process. This becomes a big issue when trying to validate PDF-files using Acrobat Preflight, Pitstop, Pitstop server or any other workflow solution. Images which an effection resolution of 75 ppi, remain 75 ppi.Īfter doing some tests, the resolution value entered in the "Gradient and mesh resolution" field located in the flattener presets, seems to be used when flattening the file. ![]() Images which are 105 ppi, are suddenly 300ppi in the final PDF-file. When creating a flattened PDF-file (1.3) using the default PDF export feature, and valid high resolution export presets, all images which have a resolution higher then 75ppi, are upscaled in the final PDF-file. The images have insufficiënt resolution (105ppi). On top of the background product images containing clipping masks / transparency. With this post I would like to report a major bug in Indesign. Please, is it possible to fix InDesign 2019 for proper x1a PDF export (with placed indd documents with transparent rgb images)? It worked OK in older InDesign. I also tried export main document as X-4 and then flat this in Acrobat using Preflight, but have not found option to use "ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)" profile and also it took long time (and crashed Acrobat). Now i solve this by exporting to PDF X-4 and use this PDF instead of direct indd placing to main document, but this is another step (was more practical use indd in indd, and when changes required, just "Edit original" and save, now are more steps needed like find original indd document in Finder and update PDF for update in main document). No problem when exporting to higher PDF versions like X-4 (even with Colour Conversion set to "Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers)"). But only when export to PDF X1a (required by our printer, i use profile "ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)" in all indd). If these placed Indd documents contains RGB images with transparencies (like transparency in PSD files, or transparency effects applied to flat images in InDesign), these images are exported very bad, highly desaturated. Sometimes i use InDesign document (page) placed into another InDesign document (because more work with some pages and reuse them in more documents). no problem with previous InDesign versions (on 10.13 systems). ![]()
