PPML EXPORT XTENSIONS SOFTWARE
P
PML Export XTensions software allows QuarkXPress Server to export a
QuarkXPress project in PPML format. This module can be used in conjunction
with the XML Import XTensions module to produce customized versions of a
layout for different customers.
RENDERING QUARKXPRESS PROJECTS IN PPML FORMAT
To render QuarkXPress projects in PPML format when PPML is not the
QuarkXPress Server default render type, use the PPML namespace, as follows:
http:// server:port /ppml/ projectname ?path= [path of output directory
on server]
URL PARAMETERS FOR PPML RENDERING
For information about using URL parameters, see Chapter 3, “Creating URL
Requests.” For information about the specific parameters for PPML export, see
the
QuarkXPress Server Web Integration Guide.
MODIFIER XTENSIONS SOFTWARE
Modifier XTensions software lets clients perform all of the following tasks
using XML:
• Modify the properties of pictures in a QuarkXPress project
• Modify the text in text boxes within a QuarkXPress project
• Modify the properties of text boxes and picture boxes in a QuarkXPress project
• Create and delete picture boxes and text boxes in a QuarkXPress project
• Import text or text strings into text boxes within a QuarkXPress project
• Import pictures into picture boxes within a QuarkXPress project
• Save modified QuarkXPress projects in any supported format to any location
on the network (and also in the QuarkXPress Server document pool)
T
o use Modifier XTensions software, a client creates an XML file indicating the
actions to be taken and sends that XML file to the QuarkXPress Server appli-
cation, where Modifier XTensions software reads the XML and makes the
requested changes. Clients can use a single XML file or string to manipulate
multiple documents and boxes.
The Document Type Definition (DTD) for Modifier XML is provided at the
end of this section.
