BlackLining works in conjunction with QuarkXPress and InDesign to allow a user to retain a complete audit trail of all changes made to text in QuarkXPress, InDesign, or Word documents. It is essential for users in financial, legal, reporting, medical, and other markets where the tracking of text content changes is critical.Regulations now make executives of companies personally responsible for the content in their publications and BlackLining ensures that they are fully secure in the knowledge that they have reviewed all the alterations that may have occurred. BlackLining tracks changes made to the text of a document as it is being revised. See a complete history of changes that have occurred. Text inserts are shown as underlines and text deletes can either be shown as strike through, or have a caret mark from where text has been deleted. BlackLining has the unique feature of tracking different revision cycles. By choosing different revision cycles it is possible to show a complete history of all the text changes made to a document as it passes through the revision process.If a run of text or word or letter is deleted it will be marked as strike through — a line through the center of text in a bold form or color that shows it as being struck out. New text that is inserted will be marked as underlined, again in bold or colored, so that it is apparent to the reader that it is a new insert.It may be obvious though that to retain all the deleted text in a document could mean that it becomes greatly increased in pagination to encompass all the deletes; to enable the pagination to remain correct, it is possible to change views so that strike-through text is hidden but its presence marked only by a small mark or caret. Words that have been inserted or deleted will appear or disappear depending on the revision level being displayed, Up to 98 revisions level can be recorded.Preferences govern the screen display and the printed output, and these can be set for individual revision levels as well. In addition there is an option to highlight all on-screen marks and have sidebar markers when printed.A special characters' feature allows a live header of a document to be created so that, if used on a master page for example, all pages can have document information such as name, date and time, as well as BlackLining revision numbers and a checksum.A history file records the actions taken in a documents' history and this can be printed or exported — which may be useful for billing or auditing.Features:• deleted text can be shown as strike-through or by caret mark; • inserted text will be shown as underlined;• up to 98 revision levels can be recorded; • through the active revision display, a true history of the document can be shown; • words that have been inserted or deleted will appear or disappear depending on the revision level being displayed; • paste text with BlackLining marks in place; • special characters allow a live header to be built for displaying job information; • comprehensive set of preferences give full options and control; • on-screen highlight display; • merge, remove, and erase functions for BlackLining marks at all levels; • complete document BlackLining history log file; • manual BlackLining marking and clearing; • special characters allow a live header to be built for displaying job information; • compatibility for Acrobat Distiller PDF drivers; • optionally show the BlackLining level(s) in the same line as the document name; • generate and print a checksum on the same line as the document name when printing with registration marks (checksum is a unique number generated for the page, and if the items on the page differ from one print session to the next then the number will be different); • export all text from a document; • enhanced BlackLining user information report; • open architecture allows ease of interface with other developers and customization; and• Mac and Windows versions available. (Mac Universal PowerPC and Intel for QuarkXPress 7). The original version of BlackLining has been available since 1996 and has been widely adopted by major companies involved in preparing documents such as annual reports, share issues, bond and debt Issues, and statutory reporting to US (EDGAR), UK, and other stock exchanges. For certain types of document, maintaining an audit trail of changes is a mandatory requirement of such regulatory bodies as SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) in the US, LSE (London Stock Exchange), and FSA (Financial Services Authority) in the UK.Over time, BlackLining has gained new features that have increased its value in a wide range of non-financial sectors such as legal documents, disclaimers, terms and conditions, and government reporting. Many non-financial industries are also now stringently regulated so BlackLining QuarkXPress might well be used for documents relating to pharmaceuticals, health and safety, food labeling, and so on.BlackLining provides particular benefits for the production of consultative documents. A good example might be a committee, which is preparing an industry standard or specification. Typically, the members of such committees are in several different countries. Amendments can be clearly indicated and the revised draft circulated as a PDF for the next round of consultation.Manufacturer: EMS
QuarkXPress automatically creates facing pages in reader's spreads format. Page two faces page three, just as the pages appear in the final publication. This is the easiest way to edit text as the user can view entire spreads at one time, but when it comes time to output a saddle-stitched publication the document needs to be rearranged into printer's spreads format. Bookletizer XTensions module rearranges reader's spreads document into printer's spreads document for final output.With Bookletizer, converting a document from reader's spreads to printer's spreads is as easy as a menu command in QuarkXPress. Adjust for creep to ensure gutter margins of longer documents remain consistent. Bookletizer converts document back to reader's spreads just as easily to facilitate additional editing while viewing it the way the reader will.Bookletizer also includes a tab for the print dialog that enables the printing of selected spreads for documents that have been processed through Bookletizer.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: Vision’s Edge, Inc.

The user can completely control the process by specifying default search paths.When moving files, the XTensions module will also optionally present a special-instructions dialog which allows the user to direct the service bureau in choices of print medium, film setting, screen-line settings, and resolution. Popup menus for instructing the service bureau as to the priority of the job and trapping instructions are also available as well as shipping and general-comment fields. As part of the special instructions, the user may include such information as company details, the system, and QuarkXPress environments. All items in the special-instructions dialog are user configurable, therefore, the user has complete control over what options appear in the popup menus. The report generator comes with 12 predefined document reports. Each of these can be easily modified to include the exact document report details required. A report can be created on the fly for any document, opened or unopened, or generated for the document during the move-to-bureau process.Manufacturer: CompuSense Ltd.
Color markup of documents is a time-consuming task that art directors and production managers have been doing manually since the advent of color printing. ColorBreaker ends that. It is absolutely accurate and unbelievably fast. ColorBreaker will save time and it produces much more detailed and precise labels than if done by hand.ColorBreaker places tags that contain pertinent color information on each colored item and text block. This information contains everything the printer will need. It also warns of RGB or spot-color problems. ColorBreaker labels QuarkXPress elements and imported graphics as well.

Duplica XT enables the user to select some or all attributes of characters, paragraphs, pictures, boxes, lines, and pages and apply them to other elements in the same or another document, without altering the contents of the Clipboard. Duplica XT incorporates a contextual popup menu.When a paragraph or group of paragraphs is selected, choosing copy paragraph attributes prompts a dialog. With Duplica XT, copy and apply only the paragraph attributes needed, such as rules or tab settings.In QuarkXPress, text that has been copied and pasted contain the attributes when pasted. Though this can be handy in certain cases, there are times the text should have the attributes already in use in the area they are pasted to. With Duplica XT, select the text for copying and choose copy un-styled text. Select paste or Command-V and the pasted text will take on the attributes of the new insertion point.With Duplica XT, copy and paste a variety of attributes for boxes and lines, including origin, width, height, shape, points, colors, shade, text-box insets, number of columns, and more. Select a group of items and apply any combination of these attributes at once.Duplica XT will copy and paste horizontal and vertical guides. These now become page attributes. Copy page attributes, go to other pages of the document (including master pages), and choose paste to apply the guides that were copied.Clone any kind of box or line using Duplica XT's powerful clone feature. Cloning an item is similar to using QuarkXPress' step and repeat command, but with Duplica XT, specify several other attribute offsets that can change with each duplication, such as width, height, angle, skew, shade, and frame width. For example, clone a box increasing its frame width by one point with each duplication, resulting in cloned boxes with two-point, three-point, four-point (and so on) frame widths.A unique Duplica XT feature will rotate and clone an item around a point within a page, in much the same way illustration applications do. Use any of the previously described incremental offsets simultaneously with each cloned item rotation.Manufacturer: Badia Software
