Layer XTensions software
You can use QuarkXPress Server Layer XTensions software to control the visibility of
specific layers in a rendered QuarkXPress project. You can also add layers, delete layers,
edit layer attributes, and control whether layers are rendered.
When you use the getdocinfo namespace, QuarkXPress Server returns information
about items on all of the layers in the QuarkXPress project, including layers that are
not visible.
Clients can use the layer parameter to specify a layer (even a hidden layer) to be
rendered. For example, the URL http://QXPServer:8080/doc.qxp?layer=layer1
renders only the layer named "layer1" in the project named "doc.qxp."
Clients can specify more than one layer in a single URL. For example, the URL
http://QXPServer:8080/doc.qxp?layer=layer1,layer2 renders the layers
named "layer1" and "layer2."
For information about layer preferences, see "Preferences Layers."
If Suppress Output is selected for a layer, QuarkXPress Server does not render that
layer when producing PDF, EPS, or PostScript files.
App Studio XTensions software
The App Studio XTensions modules allow QuarkXPress Server to render Print and App
Studio layouts in QuarkXPress projects as AVE issue files.
In QuarkXPress 9.5.1.1, an option was added to allow the App Studio output to convert
sections to page stacks. A new URL parameter convertsectionstopagestacks has
been added to provide this ability.
The XML example below demonstrates how to apply sections using the ModifierXML:
<PAGESEQUENCE MASTERREFERENCE="APSMasterPages" FORCEPAGECOUNT="NOFORCE">
SECTIONNUMBERFORMAT FORMAT="NUMERIC" INITIALPAGENUMBER="1"/>
The element SECTIONNUMBERFORMAT creates a section start which applied to all pages
in the page sequence. Each PAGESEQUENCE could have its own SECTIONNUMBERFORMAT.
If the modify request is sent to the server and each PAGESEQUENCE in the ModifyXML
has its own SECTIONNUMBERFORMAT, creating sections, and the URL parameter contains
convertsectionstopagestacks=true, the digital issue navigation would be as
follows:
If the URL parameter contains convertsectionstopagestacks=false, the digital
issue navigation would be as follows:
