QuarkViewer

QuarkViewer is an XTensions module specifically designed for QuarkXPress 7.3.x. Its primary function is to allow users to export their QuarkXPress layout pages for viewing in the Microsoft Silverlight player. One of the most significant benefits of QuarkViewer is that it can be run as a desktop application or a web application, depending on user preference.

QuarkViewer offers an excellent reading experience that remains true to the typography and visual design features that QuarkXPress is famous for. It is designed for QuarkXPress users who want to experiment with hosting their QuarkXPress projects on their company website, without any extra design or deployment effort. QuarkXPress projects can be shared without sending actual files and fonts, and they can be viewed by an audience that does not have its own QuarkXPress installation.

The main goal behind QuarkViewer XTensions module is to validate the use of the Microsoft Silverlight platform for the publishing industry. Not only is Silverlight highly accessible for graphic designers, but it also offers cross-platform format standards. Additionally, Silverlight provides QuarkXPress with the ability to encompass key high-fidelity rendering and programming features from Microsoft's WPF and XPS platforms, making it easier to combine application logic and content presentation within a single design and development platform.

QuarkViewer XTensions module is compatible with Mac and Windows, allowing for versatility in its use. However, users should refer to the documentation for current Mac XTensions module limitations before use. The only requirements for this XTensions module are QuarkXPress 7.31 or QuarkXPress Passport 7.31.
