Quark Software Inc. has introduced QuarkXPress 10.2 to address performance and output issues related to the software’s new Xenon Graphics Engine. The update is available free to QuarkXPress users currently on version 10.
In addition to performance and quality improvements for the Xenon Graphics Engine, QuarkXPress 10.2 includes new features for collaboration, such as “Redlining”, which allows users to track changes within QuarkXPress documents to be viewed by a range of users. With the Redline feature, Quark explains teams can view the inserted and deleted text content made in a project and decide whether to accept or reject the changes.
QuarkXPress 10.2 also includes “Notes”, allowing users to store comments in a project without affecting its actual content. This feature can involve adding reminders and comments on the text content. Notes, with a “sticky note” look, can also be exported as PDF content.
In version 10.2, Quark explains there are no limitations on nesting anchored boxes, whereas previous versions of QuarkXPress have a limit of two levels. As well, users can export and import hyphenation exceptions created for a document and share the exceptions across projects to maintain uniformity.
QuarkXPress 10.2 output has passed all version 4 Ghent Workgroup Output Tests, which includes PDF/X-4.
Quark is providing a 30-day trial of QuarkXPress 10.2.
