Stop using proprietary software for your business forms production and placing file libraries at risk. Instead start using QuarkXPress, the open-architecture and world leader in graphics-production software.
FormsX for Macintosh, a QuarkXPress XTensions module, provides a set of graphics tools for creating professional business forms, all within QuarkXPress. Business-forms printers now have a software package which combines the powerful typesetting and TIFF-image handling capabilities of QuarkXPress along with a set of tools designed exclusively for high-end business forms creation.
Version 2.0 Features:
• PostScript borders on boxes enable the user to create and use intricate border patterns, at any scale, which will print at the full printer or RIP resolution;
• easily create boxes with different corners, such as two round corners on top and two square corners on bottom (FormsX will automatically redraw these boxes when scaled);
• separate measurements palette, functioning similarly to QuarkXPress' measurements palette, displays coordinates in user-selectable fractions such as 5/10-inch, and also displays (and lets the user change) the box corner types, radius, coordinates, and more;
• powerful grid-creation utility, to easily create snap-to-grid lines in fractional units (e.g., 1/10-inch steps horizontally and 1/6-inch vertically);
• major and minor grids may be specified, at different colors, displaying at user-selectable intervals and offsets (QuarkXPress' snap distance is set automatically);
• automatic pantograph fill inside a box of any FormsX box shape;
• PURUP Red System pantographs are fully supported as are user-created patterns, and new ones take only minutes to create (requires PostScript Level 2);
• multiple box creations lets those composers, who measure and mark up a job, quickly type in coordinates of any units — no mouse required;
• multiple-line creation, similar to multiple-box creation, allows for high-speed coordinate entry of lines;
• variable-screening floating palette lets the user select individual objects and assign a specific dot shape, dot angle, and line frequency (can be used to drop in a line screen in any box or other object, including text);
• text placement's floating palette allows text to be placed according to a coordinate in positions such as middle center, upper right, and more (allows a text placement to be attached relative to another box);
• gradient logo feature lets the user apply a gradient screen to any 1-bit (one-color) TIFF image in a QuarkXPress document at any angle, dot shape, dot angle, and screen frequency (requires PostScript Level 2);
• rule boxes allows the user to instantly draw rows and/or columns of rules evenly spaced or equally divided over an area;
• precise controls give exact results;
• boxes with missing sides;
• table support will let users trace an existing form with a pluck, eliminating the need for manual-form markup (Wacom and other tablet manufacturers will be supported); and
• support for Windows version of QuarkXPress.
