This Week's Giveaway

QuarkXPress XTension from CoDesCo

Automate your EPS cre­ation includ­ing fonts

ex EPSCreator XTension auto­mates EPS, PS and PDF cre­ation with embed­ded fonts. To cre­ate PDF files Acrobat Distiller is need­ed, which will auto­mat­i­cal­ly be called by the XTension. In QuarkXPress, the XTension checks pre­de­fined fold­ers for incom­ing doc­u­ments. It auto­mates file gen­er­at­ing in QuarkXPress embed­ding all the required fonts in the new file(s). The work­flow of ad pro­duc­tion is now faster and easier.

In the pref­er­ences it is pos­si­ble to define: suf­fix, for­mat, size, scale, data and OPI infor­ma­tion and pre­view on or off. In the pref­er­ences dia­log you also spec­i­fy which fonts should or should not be includ­ed in the file.
If you want to have auto­mat­ic EPS, PS or PDF gen­er­at­ing, all you need is a com­put­er with QuarkXPress. The XTension con­trols the fold­er you have assigned as your import folder.

The XTension auto­mat­i­cal­ly loads files, cre­ates an EPS, PS or PDF with the embed­ded fonts and saves it to the pre­de­fined des­ti­na­tion fold­er for fur­ther production. 

In QPS the XTension looks for a cer­tain pre­de­fined sta­tus that has to be attained. It then checks out the doc­u­ment, cre­ates an EPS and checks it in back at a new status.
