Digital Publishing: Web, SWF (Flash®), Smartphones, E-readers, and Tablets

Learn Once for Multiple Channels

QuarkXPress provides a toolset that lets you design and publish for a variety of output formats — including the Web, smartphones, e-readers, and tablets — without having to learn a different skill set for each, learn to write code or program, or purchase additional software applications.

Automatic Image Format Conversion

Use One Set of Image Files for Cross-media Design. With QuarkXPress’ automatic image conversion feature, you can use the same image files when designing for Web, interactive, and digital media that you use when designing for print. QuarkXPress automatically converts image files into a format suitable for each medium — so if you’re using PSD, EPS, or TIFF files, you don’t have to manually convert them to PNG for use on an iPad. When exporting for the Web, you can even choose which image file format you want QuarkXPress to use.

Convert Print to Digital Publishing Formats (Web, SWF/Flash, e-books)

With QuarkXPress, you don’t have to recreate a print project from scratch for the Web, SWF (Flash), e-books, and digital devices such as the iPad — you can simply convert it. And once you’ve converted it, you can customize it for the new medium with page transitions, videos, sounds, slideshows, and more. Best of all, you can do all of this with the same set of tools, instead of having to learn a whole new application for each medium you want to take advantage of. With QuarkXPress, you can preserve your brand and always look professional, in print and in electronic media, all in a single tool.

Include Page and Object Transitions

Instead of just appearing and disappearing, you can make pages and objects fade, curtain, and zoom into and out of existence — with complete control over transition duration.

Single-click Export of HTML and SWF (Flash)

QuarkXPress pages lets you design and export HTML pages that include SWF (Flash) blocks using the same tools you use to design print output.

Add Navigation Menus to Your Web Pages and Interactive Layouts

You can use a simple dialog box to build navigation menus that help your users get around in your Web and SWF (Flash) projects.

Add Hyperlinks and Anchors

QuarkXPress lets you create automatically hyperlinked tables of contents, text hyperlinks, and image-based hyperlinks, then include them in your exported Web pages and PDFs. Hyperlinks can point to external URLs or to internal anchors.

Add Meta Tag Sets

You can make your exported Web pages more visible to search engines by including meta tag sets. QuarkXPress makes it easy to build meta tag sets and then use them in multiple Web projects.

Build HTML Forms — No Coding Required

You can build a form in a Web page by simply drawing the fields, menus, and buttons you want in that form. Configuring form elements is equally simple, with fields and drop-down menus — no coding required.

Export HTML Web Pages

The powerful tools in QuarkXPress aren’t just for print. You can also use them to create gorgeous Web pages — complete with hyperlinks, menus, forms, image maps, and rollovers — while maintaining complete control over the look of the exported page.

Text-to-image Conversion

Preserve Fonts and Typography on the Web. When you export to HTML from QuarkXPress, you can stay searchable by exporting text as text, or preserve fonts and formatting by converting text to images. Even better, you can make this decision on a box-by-box basis, and choose what image format to use for each box. You can choose GIF, JPG, PNG — even SWF (Flash), if you want a vector-based format.
