Chapter 4: 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.
PDF FILTER XTENSIONS SOFTWARE
PDF Filter XTensions software allows QuarkXPress Server to render a
QuarkXPress project as a PDF file.
PDF Filter XTensions software adds a PDF pane to the Preferences dialog
box
(QuarkXPress Server Þ Preferences). For more information, see
“Server preferences” in Chapter 2, “The QuarkXPress Server user interface.”
To take advantage of more detailed preferences, create a PDF output style and
use that output style when rendering projects as PDF files. For more information,
see “Output styles” in Chapter 2, “The QuarkXPress Server user interface.”
RENDERING QUARKXPRESS PROJECTS AS PDF FILES
To render QuarkXPress projects as PDF files when PDF is not the QuarkXPress
Server default render type, use the PDF namespace, as follows:
http:// server:port/pdf/projectname
URL PARAMETERS FOR PDF RENDERING
For information about using URL parameters, see Chapter 3, “Creating URL
Requests.” For information about the specifi
c parameters for PDF export, see
the
QuarkXPress Server Web Integration Guide.
