PowerSwitch and Quark Xpress

[beastridge]

We are trying to automate pdf creation for jobs coming in from our ftp site using Switch. I have had good success with InDesign, but Quark is a crapshoot. First off, we are used to using the "Export" option from Quark as opposed to "File Print" method. It's been a long time since I have had to worry about Printers and PPDs. Is there a way to make a pdf to the correct size without having to create custom page sizes in the print dialogue? We are testing Instant PDF, will it help out?

Would like to hear from anyone who has experience with setting Switch up to work with Quark. If so, is it something that you would reccomend or steer clear of?

Thanks,
Shane

Axaio MadeToPrint is the only reliable way I know of to deal with Quark files unless you make EPS's of the pages. That's the only way I have been able to get Quark to work. Still...
