To specify a resolution for blends (regardless of whether flattening is turned on), click the
Blends drop-down menu and choose or enter a dpi value. To specify a resolution for

change your settings in the PDF pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit
menu). For more information, see "Preferences — Application — PDF."
Creating a PostScript file
To create a PostScript file from a layout, display the PDF pane of the Preferences dialog
box (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences) and check Create PostScript File for Later
Distilling. When you choose File > Export > Layouts as PDF, QuarkXPress generates a
PostScript file with the name and location you specify rather than creating a PDF file.
