Could QuarkXPress 5 actually ship by the end of the year? Stranger things have happened. Quark is showing off the latest beta at Drupa this week. Idling in neutral on the feature-soaked what’s new list is one item dear to heart of modern prepress warriors — direct application support for creating PDFs. Who cares who is to blame. If Adobe and Quark could just put down the boxing gloves for a little while, and stop pelting each other with technology integration pot-shots, they may be able to pull the PDF rabbit out of the hat after all. Personally, even with a few aggravating usability holdovers from the Aldus days, I’m still using PageMaker mainly because of its solid PDF support and a consistent, Adobe-preened interface.
