Understanding QuarkXPress Server parameters
Parameters let you control the details of how a request is executed. For example, you can
use the page parameter to create a request that returns only the third page of a project:
http://QXPServer:8080/jpeg/project1.qxp?page=3
You can include multiple parameters in the same request; simply separate them with an
ampersand (&). For example, here's a new version of the above URL that returns page three
at a scale of 50%:
http://QXPServer:8080/jpeg/project1.qxp?page=3&scale=.5
Looking up a parameter
The QuarkXPress Server Web Integration Guide lists the parameters that are available for
every QuarkXPress Server function. To determine which parameters you can use with a
request:
1
Open the QuarkXPress Server Web Integration Guide.
2
Choose Complete API List from the QuarkXPress Server Functions menu at the top of
the page.
3
Click the link for the render type you want or the function you want to use. (The link
might be a dynamic publishing process, a renderer, or a request handler.) The page
corresponding to that render type or function displays.
4
Locate the Parameters row. This row lists all available parameters, and includes a description
and a list of valid values for each parameter.
QuarkXPress Server Web Integration Guide overview
The topics below provide an overview of the contents of the QuarkXPress Server Web
Integration Guide.
Render types
QuarkXPress Server render types let you render content in a variety of formats, including
EPS, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PostScript, QuarkXPress, QuarkCopyDesk, and SWF (Flash). You can
also return documents in two different "raw" formats. Developers can implement additional
rendering formats through server XTensions software.
For more information, see the QuarkXPress Server Web Integration Guide.
General parameters
General parameters are parameters that are applicable to most render types. These
parameters allow you to render an individual box, component, layout, page, or spread.
You can also render a particular selection of layers, pages, and spreads. In addition, you
can control whether the pasteboard is included and how the output should be scaled.
