Exporting Quark layout to PDF problem

[huwcooke]

Hi,

Hi,

I hope that someone can help. I am running Quark 6.0 on Windows XP with a HP Deskjet 930C printer.

Every time I try to export a layout as a PDF, I get the following message:

"QuarkXPress (tm)
To save a layout as a PDF file, a PostScript printer must be set up to print to a file."

Can anyone tell me what this means and how I can export to PDF?

I don't that is a postscript printer. Not as certain with windows about installing drivers, but is there something available like a virtual printer description to use to write the postscript file for distillation?

You should be able to get one from the Adobe Website

Thank you! I was having the exact same problem, which was getting quite frustrating! But I went to Downloads.com and found a free Adobe Universal PostScript Printer Driver that seems to have down the trick! Good luck! I am glad to know I wasn't the only one going crazy over it.

you could also hit print then hit printer then use osx's pdf feature by click on save as pdf or preview, either on will create a pdf for you

Hello!

I have a similar problem.

I run QuakXpress Passport 5 on a WinXP professional PC (service pack 2 installed), and can't get the program to export to .pdf format.

I downloaded the above mentioned Adobe universal postscript printer drivers set, but when tring to open it, I get this error message: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM§"\AUTOEXEC:NT The system file isn't able to open MS-DOS or Windows applications (rough translation from German).

What should I do? Help is appreciated! Thanks!
