If you downsave to QuarkXPress 9 (which did not support layers on master pages), all
items on the master page will be put on the default layer and this might create a
different stacking order than existed in QuarkXPress 10.
Suppressing printout of layers
Just as you can suppress the printout of items such as picture boxes using the Modify
dialog box, you can suppress the printout of layers. To suppress the printout of a layer,
double-click that layer in the Layers palette. In the Attributes dialog box, check
Suppress Output, and then click OK.
When Suppress Output is checked for a layer, that layer displays unchecked by default
in the Layers pane of the Print dialog box, and consequently that layer will not print
(unless you check the layer manually in the Print dialog box).
The Print dialog box provides settings for controlling which layers will print.
To change the default print setting for new layers, check Suppress Output in the
Layers panes of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu).
The Suppress Output setting for a layer is independent of the Suppress Output and
Suppress Picture Printout controls in the Modify dialog box (Item menu).
Using PDF layers
If you export a layout that includes layers as a PDF file, you can separately control the
following:
• Which layers are included in the exported PDF files
• Whether or not QuarkXPress layers exported as native PDF layers
For more information, see "Exporting a layout in PDF format."
