QuarkXPress

Framebased layoutsoftware for design und pagelayout

New in QuarkXPress

Work faster with unbeatable 64-bit performance and an array of features for print and digital production such as certified PDF/X-4 output and fixed layout eBooks. Work smarter with new designer-controlled automation including footnotes and content variables.

QuarkXPress 2015 is available as a perpetual license for Mac OS X and Windows, no subscription required.

With its new 64-bit architecture, QuarkXPress 2015 can use all of the RAM available to deliver performance improvements across the board from file handling and layout rendering to PDF export. Combined with a relentless focus on quality means you get the speed and reliability you deserve.

Support for Verified PDF/X-4 Output

QuarkXPress 2015 will allow users to create PDF/X-4 files. The exported PDF/X-4 files are certified with the same technology used inside Adobe Acrobat. With this latest standard, designers can preserve transparency to enable faster output, smaller files and higher quality print output.

Work Smarter with Designer-Controlled Automation

QuarkXPress has always been about automation. From the early days of style sheets, master pages, indexes and TOCs to more recent additions such as shared content, conditional styles and callouts. QuarkXPress 2015 builds on this legacy with new long document features including:

  • Automatic footnotes and endnotes
  • A new, faster alternative table tool for superior Excel integration with table styles
  • Content Variables for automatically populating reoccurring fields – like running headers, page numbers, dates, references and static text

Fixed Layout eBooks with App-like Interactivity

Building on the popularity of reflowable eBooks (ePub) and stunning interactive apps from App Studio, QuarkXPress 2015 combines the best of both worlds with a new digital output format. You can now create HTML5 fixed layout eBooks without any additional software or costs. The fixed layout eBook format (ePub3 or Amazon’s KF8), displays pixel-perfect layouts without the complexity and cost of creating native apps. Unlike many fixed layout creation tools, your layouts need not be static either. You can add interactive enrichments such as slide shows, page flips, animations and more.
