The QuarkXPress XTension We Gave Away This Time

 
[5] ProScale
QuarkXPress XTension from Gluon

ProScale was the world’s first scaling XTension in 1990. Resize items, groups or entire documents in one click. It is the only scaler that allows you to intelligently scale non-proportionally without distorting text and graphics! Includes advanced text fitting tools and column fitting along with our convenient “fit-to” functions. Also includes an awesome visual drag scaling tool that works with the Quark measurements palette. So many “firsts” and “bests” make this an must-have XTension for anyone working in XPress!

ProScale is used to resize printed materials in an intelligent manner. Most popular in Ad Agencies who often need to create ads of various sizes for different publications. This process is normally quite tedious and expensive. Using ProScale can reduce this down to a single click, allowing the same content to be instantly repurposed and a much greater profit through efficiency. Any serious design or production department needs ProScale. So if you just want to make something an inch narrower, you don’t need to then go readjust your picture aspect ratio or horizontal scale on the text.

Features include:

• Scale items, groups, page ranges or entire documents
• Scale non-proportionally without distorting pictures and text or choose to scale flexigraphically
• Special function palette with scaling presets
• Step-and-repeat scaling
• Scaling presets for common sizes allows to quickly move documents from letter size to A4 and vice versa for example
• Control every aspect of what gets scaled and how including guides, gutters, shadows, etc.
• Quark 7 version allows control over scaling drop shadows
• Advanced, easy-to-use Text-fitting
• Single-click column fitting
• Single-click fit box-to-picture
• Scales native elements such as tables, web items and anchored groups
• Visual scaling tool added to Quark’s tool palette that integrates with measurements palette
