QuarkXPress
Unlike Adobe products, QuarkXpress does not have
built-in capabilities to create PDF's; instead it
uses Acrobat Distiller to generate PDF's. Therefore,
you must have the full version of Acrobat installed
on your computer if you wish to create PDFs from
QuarkXPress.
The following steps will guide you through PDF creation
from QuarkXPress 5 using Acrobat Distiller.

PostScript printer driver.

printer driver, PS, for best results when creating
