Limitations
Some QuarkXPress functions are not supported by DATAformXTension. Some object proper-
ties do not remain unchanged upon export and re-import. Apart from this, these objects may be
exported and imported - with all their other properties.
Not supported are e.g.:
-
Bezier objects
Bezier objects are exported as polygons. This means that the object is retained when
imported with the exception of bent lines. All lines are straight.
A form with round ends receives corners instead when imported:
The left picture shows an object with Bezier lines, the right picture shows the result after
export and re-importing: the curves are lost.
-
Non straight lines
Polygon lines and bezier lines are exported as straight lines. All other QuarkXPress line
properties are retained.
These two lines will appear as straight lines after re-import:
-
Text to path
This QuarkXPress function is not supported;
A line with text is exported as just a line. The text is lost.
