Create ebook cover and interior for Quark Xpress

A PDF ebook is created from individual cover and interior PDFs exported from the original, respective layout files.

Download the Quark Xpress PDF presets from the shared Google Drive directory The specific presets are named ebook-cover and ebook-interior.

If you are using Adobe InDesign, please follow these alternate instructions.

To load a preset into Quark Xpress:

1. Select menu item: Edit > Output Styles…

   

2. Import the attached preset file (ebook-interiors).

   

To create a PDF interior using a preset:

1. Open the XPress file representing the book's interior.

2. Select the XPress menu item: File > Export > Layout as PDF…

   

3. Set PDF Style to ebook-interior, the preset that you previously imported. Also, name the file by the 13-digit ISBN in the "Save As" field of the "Export" window.

   

Note: The "ebook-cover" preset is slightly different from the "ebook-interior" preset. The resultant cover PDF will have crop marks; the interior will not. The resultant cover will be one page; the interior will be multiple.
