I am a Quark Xpress Xtension developer and also an Adobe InDesign and Acrobat Plug-Ins developer. Of all the people I have worked with over the years supporting hundreds and hundreds of users, who ever really needs to call Quark or Adobe for any support. Ever hear of (RTFM), acronym for Read The F#&$ing Manual. Or go to Quark's user to user help forum. This is so tired, and so is all this Adobe is Quark Killer BS. The only things good about InDesign were bought from Aldus, or copied from a QuarkXPress (innovation). I mean hell Quark had automatic trapping tables in a layout application like 12 or 15 years ago. InDesign is OK, and I am cool that folks can use whater they want, like my PDF-X-Robot runs with both an Quark Xtension AND an Adobe Plug-In with one license. Freedom of choice, it's fine. But to bash a totally solid industry standard application like Quark is retarded. As a long time prepress manager, software developer, and expert trainer, I say both are OK. Anybody though that says Quark sucks just shows their own lack of technical skill to operate the applications at hand. Anyone want free help with Quark Xpress or Adobe come to our site and get all the help you want from a very expert user group. A place where both InDesign AND Quark users are respected.
