Place the EPS file (not the PDF file) in QuarkXPress.Open the PDF file in the Adobe Acrobat software.If you need to retain the appearance of overprints and transparency effects in a PDF file to be placed, perform the following steps: Objects inside the PDF file that use overprints or native unflattened PDF 1.4 transparency often don't output correctly from QuarkXPress. These image types will be low-resolution in areas where they interact with transparency, even after the high-resolution OPI swap has taken place.ДЄs in earlier versions of the QuarkXPress software, placing PDF files may not work correctly.

The QuarkXPress software renders the transparent effect using the low-resolution preview in the FPO and DCS, because the high-resolution data is not available.

OPI does not work for file formats with low-resolution FPO/proxy and DCS previews.

Vector EPS files work with OPI but are rasterized in areas where they interact with transparency.

QuarkXPress places the rendered version of the image on top of the OPI placement, so when you trigger OPI, it places the unaffected image below the effected portion of the image. When an image interacts with transparency, the QuarkXPress software renders the affected portion of the image with its transparency effect, using the highest resolution data available.

OPI seems to work well with transparency when using bitmap-based TIFF and raster EPS images.

Overprint objects often disappear or knock out on output, when there is a transparent object on top of them.

Using transparency with overprints (set in QuarkXPress or in placed EPS files) does not work.

QuarkXPress 7 warns you about this when outputting.

Using transparency and artificial font styles (such as artificial bold, italic, outline, shadow) may not result in the correct output.

Because of this, for placed EPS files with very fine features (such as small text), you should increase the QuarkXPress flattening resolution in the output style. For example, transparency over a vector EPS file will result in a rasterized version of the vector data with the visual effect of the transparency.

When flattening, QuarkXPress 7and 8 rasterizes objects that are below a transparent object.

Transparency objects created in QuarkXPress are more likely to retain their transparency appearance than placed PDFs that contain transparency.

The PDF import filter (Quark JAWs engine) still flattens transparency while converting everything to internal Quark format. Transparency in imported PDFs is not retained on export. Transparency support is still very limited in QuarkXPress 8.0 and earlier.Most known issues with QuarkXPress 7 and 8 involve transparency, colorized TIFF files, and geometry from PostScript.
