Usage function in Quark Express

In Quark Express many moons ago I regularily used a feature called Usage whereby you could see where any rogue colours or fonts where being used in a large document. This was very handy for finding where Pantone colours had be brought into a document from an external file and then being able to go back and change them into the correct CMYK colours. Does anyone know if there is a similar option in InDesign as I really need to use it!

The Package dialog will also give you a font list and used process and spot colors—you can view the info and cancel:

Why can't I open a Quark Express file in InDesign CS3?

Hello there,
I have a client's magazine in Quark Express (PC format) and I need to recreate it as an InDesign file (Mac format) for laying out future publications. I have tried several times to open it in InDesign as I have read that this is possible. I don't even get an error or warning message. It simply doesn't open at all. It tells me that the file type is not recognised.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this to open? Perhaps it is a PC/ Mac conflict? I have even added an InDesign file suffix to the end of the Quark file but that also failed.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Just to add to Eugene's recommendation. Q2ID is worth every last dime of the $200 it cost.
I just upgraded to the latest version when I received 25 Quark files to convert for an iPad app. Even for early Quark files that InDesign can open, it does a better job.
BTW, it's also worth noting here that Adobe cannot legally have InDesign open anything later than Quark 4.x files due to the encryption used in Quark 5 and later files. Quark is too dependent on Markzware for XTensions to go after them.

Printing error and Export to PDF error after a Quark Express convert

I are working on a catalogue that was previously made with Quark Express. I used q2id to convert over to InDesign CS3. I had some minor issues setting up the new fonts, but that was no big deal. Now that the catalogue is close to finished, I want to do some test print, however, on several of the files it start processing the printing, finish the processing of all the pages, then kills the print job and comes with the following error:
Print Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem.
Similar error happens when I try to export to PDF, this error only says:
Failed to Export PFD file
Anyone had a similar problem?? I've done a preflight but ID does not indicate any problems with the file nor its content. Is there another tool to scan the file with to find errors?? Possible fix it?? Is there a log file I could check??
In advance, thanks guys.

InDesign CS3

Thanks Ken,
Not sure how to check if we do have OPI comments on some of the images, but looks like I have found a solution to the printing problem at least.
Thanks to a respons by Peter Spier to another topic with similar problems:
Peter Spier - 4:00am Mar 11, 08 PST (#5 of 6)
The symptoms could describe document corruption rather than network issues which might fall into the category of things that can be cleared up through export to .inx.
Try exporting one or two of the problem files to interchange format, open those and save as new .indd and make a new book file. See if that behaves differently across the network.
I also found another article about INX files, that confirms this technique:
http://avondale.typepad.com/indesignupdate/2005/08/what_the_heck_i.html
"...INX can also help “clean up” problem files in InDesign CS2—if you’re running into problems, especially with files that started their lives as QuarkXPress or PageMaker files, try exporting the document as INX and then opening that file."
So, I
1. exported all files, one by one to INX or InDesign InterChanged
2. Then reopened those files, saved back as regular .indd files
3. Reopend the new file (hoping for a refreshed file and test to see if it would open without problems.)
4. Then packed the files indevidually and reopend the new packed files when done.
Alle the files now print without any problems but export to PDF still fails with the same error message.
Would the OPI comment be a problem here maybe?
Thanks!

Quark Express 6.5 won't quit on my Intel-based iMac

Hi,
At work I use a 20-inch Intel Core 2 Duo iMac (with 2GB RAM installed) and run Quark Express 6.5 as a PowerPC program through Rosetta.
Quark runs fairly quickly and saves OK, but it never quits properly when I shut my Mac down normally, it just hangs and says Application not responding in the Finder. In Quark I can't go to File>Quit either as it just repeats the above.
It's annoying because by not quitting properly, Quark doesn't save a preferences file (XPress Preferences.prf) which obviously remembers where you've put your tool box, palette boxes and other working preferences.
It may seem minor, but it does get irritating when you have to do it countless times a week! This problem effects all my co-workers on the same iMacs as me.
I've tried looking on the Quark website but can't find anything about this problem on their forums. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Many thanks on behalf of six head scratching, Mac-loving Quark users.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

OWB10GR2 - Error when try to use 'MOD' function in an Expression

Hi
I'm trying to use the MOD function in an expression, e.g. mod(44,12), however, when I validate I get the error:-
Line 2, Col 18:
PLS-00201: identifier 'MOD' must be declared
Line 0, Col 1:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Has anyone else come across this problem, and can anyone please suggest a solution?
Thanks
GB

Not yet, thanks for the suggestion.
If you use MOD in an expression or Constant, the expression does not validate but the mapping itself does validate, deploy and runs ok. So
This issue has been reported as a bug therefore for the time being we can just ignore the expression validation message.

Hi,
please check this general solution using CTE. If you need a specific query help then pls post your DDL+DML :-) I hope you can get the idea from this example.
/************************************************ DDL+DML */
-- DDL
create table T (Num int, Name nvarchar(10))
-- DML
insert T values (1,'a'),(2,'a'),(3,'s'),(22,'s')
GO
/************************************************ Testing and solution */
select SUM(count(*))
from T
GO
--Msg 130, Level 15, State 1, Line 7
--Cannot perform an aggregate function on an expression containing an aggregate or a subquery.
;with MyCTE as (select count(*) C, Name from T group by Name)
--select * from MyCTE
select SUM(C), Name
from MyCTE
group by Name
GO
/************************************************ Clean */
drop table T

Using of Modulus function in Assignment Expressions

Hello!
While trying to use Modulus function in Assignment Expression I found out that it gives strange results in some cases.
For example, the remainder of 1037739010891 divided by 11 is 0, but Modulus function gives 4, the remainder of 1037739010892 divided by 11 is 1, but the function gives 5 and so on.
Does anybody knows the solution of this problem? Or may be I do something wrong?
P.S. I use MDM 5.5 SP 5 Patch1
Thanks, in advance

Hi, Sanjay!
I think the matter is that the function Modulo operates on integer values, so it somehow converts the value 1037739010891 to integer and use it for calculations.
So, we solved the problem by using some mathematical formulas for calculations.
Still thanks for your answer,
Vika

Import and Save Quark Express Files - Acrobat Pro XI

A friend of mine has some newsletters that she produced in Quark Express in the late 1990's and wishes to share them with me. She no longer has Quark Express and neither do I. I'm wondering if it is still possible to import these files into Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac and then save them off as PDF files? Or, do I need to save them as .ps files in Acrobat Pro XI, then run them through Acrobat Distiller? I have looked in the Adobe forums but cannot find anything applicable to Acrobat Pro XI. If someone can let me know what is the best way to go, then that would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for any assistance.

Acrobat Pro cannot open QuarkXpress files so you are SOL.
If these are really older QXP files like version 3 or 4, you can try to open them in InDesign.
But InDesign will not open any Quark files newer than version 4, also not sure if InDesign CC will do this at all.
There is a Markzware plugin called Q2ID which may work for you.
If neither of you have QuarkXpress, these are your only options.

Does Quark Express need to be installed before other programs?

I have heard that Quark Express should be installed before other CS Programs should be installed to avoid system conflicts. Is this true or just a rumor. I am setting up a friends G5 and am wondering if I need to do this?
Thanks,

It doesn't have to be installed first but depending how you install it there may be permissions problems.

The functions in Teststand "express browser dialog"

Teststand provides several functions in Teststand "express browser dialog" to facilitate calculations. For example, I can use the function of "SetNumElements" to get the size of certain arrary. However, compared with in CVI, it seems that that's far away from engough.For example, there's no functions like advanced analysis library.
I'm wondering whether Teststand has provided much more functions than what are already listed in "express browser dialog", if yes, where can I get a reference manual to find the functions that I need.
In order to make it clearer, the meaning of ""express browser dialog" is shown in attached file.
Thanks a lot!

I want to comment that Dennis is exactly right about the intent of TestStand.
TestStand is meant to connect and augment code you write in LabVIEW, CVI, and/or Visual Studio, not to replace it. Also, what he refers to as putting functionality in a "custom step" can mean just calling a VI, DLL, server, or assembly from a TestStand step, not necessarily the similarly named but more involved process of creating a custom step type.
Custom step types are good for wrapping a function or VI with a user friendly configuration dialog to facilitate re-use. However, in many cases it is more than adequate to simply passing arguments to a code module you call directly.
It is certainly true that having a large number of code module files can make it more difficult to move a sequence without forgetting to include one of its dependencies. The TestStand deployment tool is designed to help mitigate this problem by identifying dependencies and packaging them all into one directory or installer.

Is lion compatible with quark express and adobe photoshop?

I have heard that once you upgrade to Lion, Quark Express and Adobe Photshop CS no longer work right. Is this true?

Quark Express 9 is compatible
Adobe Photoshop CS different for the different versions.
You can have a first look here for your research into compatibility. do not forget to research the Developers pages too.

GRC - Role Expert v5.2: how does the Transaction Usage functionality work

Hi All,
re: GRC - Role Expert v5.2: how does the Transaction Usage functionality work
We are implementing GRC suite v5.2, but specifically my question is regarding Role Expert:
SAP documentation states that it is possible to use Role Expert to do the following: for roles allows you to see if, or how much, a transaction is being used, when it was last used, and who used it.
My question is how without Audit Log or RBE?
Let me know if you have ever used this functionality and if it requires the SAP Back-End Audit Log to be turned on or RBE.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Gary,
You dont need a RBE tool activation to get the successful transaction usage log with Role Expert.
Role Expert functionality allows you to log all the transactions that have been added/deleted to the role that is changed. Also when you create a new role via the Role Expert then automatically the transaction log starts.
If you go the "History" tab in the Role Expert, then you can find all the last changes made to the role.
Also you can go to the "Risk Analysis" tab to find the log of Risk Analysis performed with the added tcodes.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Kiran Kandepalli.
