BlackLining works in conjunction with QuarkXPress 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.

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.

BureauManager XTensions module is the definitive and ultimate tool to easily and completely prepare a job for delivery to a service bureau. It quickly extracts information from the original document to determine which fonts (screen and printer) and high-resolution graphics are required to be copied. It also has a built-in auto find utility that will search for any missing graphics. The XTensions module incorporates a powerful document-report generator which enables the user to choose from over 100 document attributes on which to report. These include general document information, picture- and text-box attributes, fonts, colors, style-sheet details, and many more.

With a file mover option, the user can select a file and specify the destination disc and/or folder to where the file will be copied. The file and all its linked files (including DCS files if required) will be transferred. When moving or copying a file, the user may select to also move the QuarkXPress preferences file and any other required auxiliary files at the same time.

If any linked graphics are missing or modified, the XTensions module provides an auto find utility which is a high-performance search tool that will search through predefined volumes or folders for the missing graphics. 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.

ColorManager is a powerful, yet simple-to-use XTensions module for QuarkXPress. It allows users to identify, control, and easily manipulate any color usage within a document. Its aim and purpose is to provide a tool that makes the production of any color publication less arduous and more efficient in terms of time and money.

Features:

· allows users to easily search and replace any color that appears in text, lines, frames, or backgrounds, and when searching for a color, the user can optionally specify what percentage shade of the specified color to look for;

· when replacing a color, the user can optionally specify what percentage shade the resultant color should be;

· allows the user to change individual occurrences of a color or to globally change all occurrences in the document;

· provides a process-separation flag for all colors in the document and colors can be checked and set in a facile manner;

· provides epsf usage feature that enables the user to keep track of the custom colors used in high-resolution EPS files;

· allows the user to locate and view EPS pictures in an active document (for each custom color that appears in the EPS file, know that color already exists in the present QuarkXPress document, if it doesn't, choose to create it);

· allows the user to print a report of all EPS files in the document, listing for each the custom colors contained within;

· provides a screen angles feature that allows the user to specify custom CMYK screen angles and frequencies to use for printing, thus preventing moir patterns; and

· provides a file mover option that allows the user to select a file and specify a destination disc and or folder where the file should be copied to (the file and all its linked files will be transferred to that location).

For additional savings, check out the bundle: Dashes & SpellBound bundle.

The Dashes XTensions module provides high-quality hyphenation for QuarkXPress text. Its aim and purpose is to provide a tool that improves the appearance and readability of a user's page by inserting hyphens which are inconspicuous, so as not to disturb the flow or meaning in the story.

The internal-hyphenation code that is used in this XTensions module has been licensed from Circle Noetic Services, thus, the user is guaranteed the same high standard of hyphen breaks as is provided by their renowned hyphenation products.

Features:

· inserts discretionary hyphens into a selection of text, the current text box, or the complete document, and when inserting hyphens, the user-specified auto-hyphenation rules are fully obeyed;

· removes discretionary hyphens from a selection of text, the current text box, or the entire document (if the way the XTensions module hyphenates a word is undesirable, enter it into a custom Dashes exceptions dictionary);

· provides each Dashes hyphen with a stylistic ranking, this allows the exclusion of hyphens that are not up to the stylistic quality the user specifies;

· import and export hyphenation exceptions lists into and out of the XTensions module;

· will correctly hyphenate words that contain ligatures;

· as all the hyphens inserted are stored as discretionary hyphens within the document, the document will not reflow, when opened or printed on another machine;

· will correctly hyphenate the document, regardless of the system or program language; and

· provides a linguistically based algorithm that puts in over 99% of the possible hyphens with over 99% accuracy in all the languages offered.

Supported Languages: Arabic, Bela Russian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French (European and Canadian), German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmal and Nynorsk), Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Swiss, and Turkish.

Hyphenation XTensions modules and spelling XTensions modules are language specific and require QuarkXPress Passport or the QuarkXPress language for which you are purchasing. For instance, a German hyphenation XTensions module will only operate on the German version of QuarkXPress or QuarkXPress Passport.

FlexScale scales a document as it is output to a printer. The vertical- and horizontal-scaling percentages are independent of each other so a document may be scaled vertically and/or horizontally. The XTensions module scales printed output between 50% and 150%. Optionally, specify decimal percentages for precision scaling.

FlightAlert is a QuarkXPress XTensions module operating in the background and scanning for specific preflighting issues on Open and/or Save and/or Save As and/or Print and/or Close. Alerts are only displayed when a problem is detected. This product is designed for a pressured production or prepress environment to pick up key RIP killers and film burners without being obtrusive.

The user can designate that the XTensions module's monitory mechanism should be activated after a document is opened, when a document is closed, at print time, when saving as an EPS, when saving or saving as, and/or during FlightAlert's Collect for Output routine.

The alert dialog can optionally make the user aware of the presence of the following items in QuarkXPress documents:

· RGB, TIFF, JPEG, or EPS graphics;

· 1-bit TIFFs and EPSs;

· grayscale and EPS graphics;

· PICTs;

· empty picture boxes;

· missing or modified graphics;

· text-overflow items;

· picture boxes containing TIFFs that have a background color of None (these can cause jaggies);

· spot colors used;

· items that have a rotation of non-90ø incremental angles;

· items that have their printing suppressed;

· graphic files that are larger or smaller than a specified size; and/or

· graphics that have a definable file extension.

The Collect for Output (c.f.o.) option enables the user to select a document and specify a destination disc and/or folder for the file. The document and all its linked graphics (including DCS files if required), screen and printer fonts (including fonts used in EPS graphics) will be transferred.

When copying a file, the user may select to also collect the preferences file and any other required files at the same time. If any linked graphic or printer fonts are missing, FlightAlert provides an auto-find utility which is a high-performance search tool that will scan through predefined volumes or folders for the required files. The user can completely control the process by specifying default-search paths.

If desired, all the files collected will be compressed into a self-extracting archive (bundle). The naming convention used for the bundle will immediately identify whether it is complete or if font or required graphics are missing.

When moving files, the XTensions module will also optionally present a special-instructions dialog which allows the user to direct the receiver as to what print medium, film setting, line-screen, and other settings to use. Shipping and general-comment fields are also provided. This feature will show what color plates are required for each individual page, and therefore will accurately instruct as to what plates are to be output on a page-by-page basis. All items in the special-instructions dialog are user configurable -- decide exactly what options are available in the popup menus that appear. The batch-C.F.O. option enables the user to select a number of files which can be moved at the same time.
