You can specify an output style and set additional local parameters of that output style. For example,
if no bleed setting is specified in the output style named "mystylename", you can specify a bleed
setting with a URL like the following:
http://localhost:8080/pdf/sample.qxp?
outputstyle=mystylename&bleed=symmetric
You can override settings in an output style. For example, if an asymmetric bleed is specified in
the output style named "mystylename," you could override it with the same URL.
If you do not specify a PDF output style, the default PDF output style is used.

If the request succeeds, a transaction success message is written to the QuarkXPress Server transaction
log file. This message includes the date, time, request type, project name, response type, response
size in bytes, and client IP address. For example:
Logs
8/3/2005 11:52:59 — png/sample.qxp — Type: image/png — Size: 5454 — Client: 127.0.0.1
If an alert is displayed, an error message is written to the QuarkXPress Server Error Log file. The
transaction entry in the error log contains the date and time of the request, the error code, and
the error message. The following is a sample of an error log transaction entry:
8/3/2005 11:27:24 — Error — Error Code: 10008 — The renderer for this image type has no way
of rendering the desired objects.
