QuarkXPress Server XTensions
software
Just as XTensions software provides additional functionality to QuarkXPress,
XTensions software enables QuarkXPress Server to do things it can’t do by default.
The XTensions modules included with QuarkXPress Server allow clients to render
projects as PDF files, apply QuarkVista picture effects to pictures, dynamically
update pictures in picture boxes and text in text boxes (as well as boxes themselves),
import data on the fly, manipulate layers in projects, and more.
CopyDeskArticle XTensions software
CopyDeskArticle XTensions software allows QuarkXPress Server to do the following
things:
Render QuarkCopyDesk articles
Export QuarkCopyDesk articles from a QuarkXPress project
Add a QuarkCopyDesk article to an existing QuarkXPress project
Create and delete components in a QuarkCopyDesk article within a QuarkXPress
project
Rendering articles
To render QuarkCopyDesk articles, use the copydesk namespace, as follows:
http://[server]:[port]/[render type]/cop ydesk/[art iclename]
For example, to render “Article.qcd” as a PDF file, you could use a URL like the
following:
http://QXPServer.8080/pdf/copydesk/Article.qcd
Exporting articles
To export an article from a QuarkXPress project, use the QCDDOC namespace, as
follows:
http://[server]:[port]/qcddoc/[project name]?article=[article
name or ID]
For example, to export the article named “Article1” from the project named
“Project1.qxp,” you could use a URL like the following:
