The Batch Collect XTensions module allows QuarkXPress users to gather all elements required to produce or archive an entire group of QuarkXPress documents. This XTensions module works like QuarkXPress's built-in collection feature, but allows the user to work with more than a single document at a time. Select the documents to process using the file-selection dialog, check off the elements to be collected, and click the collect button. An option is provided to create a separate folder for each document, holding only those elements required to produce the individual job. In addition to collect-for-output features, Batch Collect XTensions module also includes a comprehensive reporting option. The report will list all pictures, fonts, and colors used throughout the entire group of documents, and will also provide important status information about those items. In addition, the report file can be formatted and sorted.

The BIM Utility Bundle is a suite of XTensions modules for QuarkXPress that provide a number of productivity-enhancing tools.

font collector collects all of the fonts required for any QuarkXPress document. It also embeds font data into the EPS files created.

page printer can output each page or spread of a QuarkXPress document in either PostScript or EPS format and is particularly useful for those working with a third-party imposition application or when publishing PDFs to the web.

picture placer provides an alternative to the QuarkXPress get picture feature, allowing users to import a picture and select from various positioning options. The software can import any image file supported by QuarkXPress, even if the selected image is a different file type than the original. This feature makes the product ideal for swapping out low-resolution images in an OPI workflow.

picture namer identifies each picture that has been placed in a QuarkXPress document, providing a convenient way to catalogue the images. Image names can be toggled on and off through a single menu command.

print selector provides a unique marquee tool to select and print (or save as EPS) any portion of a QuarkXPress page. This unique tool eliminates the need to print complete pages, making it ideal for document design and proofing purposes.

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.

· 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
