Export PDFs from Quark
Pdfs should be submitted to WWO with bleed and marks. Please don’t submit pdfs in reader
or printer spreads. You can submit a multipage pdf as long as: each page of the pdf represents
one page in your document and you are not submitting a job with versions. Versions should be
submitted as single page pdfs.
The following instructions will guide you through exporting a pdf with marks and bleeds. It was
created with Quark 7 on a Mac. Your windows may be slightly different.
Go to File - Export - Layout as PDF

Make life easier, make an Output Style!
Making an output style will save all the settings you just changed in a custom setup. All you
will have to do in the future is just select your output style when you export a pdf.
In the “PDF Style” pulldown menu,
select “New PDF output style”
Enter a name you will remember in
the popup that appears. Here I entered
“WWO output style”. Click “OK”.

Now......the next time you want to make a pdf just do this:
Go to File - Export - Layout as PDF. Your new output style will be in the “PDF style” pulldown
menu. Here you can see the one I saved earlier.
After you select your preset, all you will have to do is save out your file to your desired location. All the custom settings will be applied for you.
