QuarkXPress
Unlike Adobe products, QuarkXpress does not have
built-in capabilities to create PDF's; instead it
uses Acrobat Distiller to generate PDF's. Therefore,
you must have the full version of Acrobat installed
on your computer if you wish to create PDFs from
QuarkXPress.
The following steps will guide you through PDF creation
from QuarkXPress 5 using Acrobat Distiller.

Install the No Cost Printing.com
PostScript printer driver.
No Cost Printing.com recommends using the No Cost Printing.com PostScript
printer driver, PS, for best results when creating
PDF files for printing with No Cost Printing.com.
