  • Bug Fixes

Quark CUPS Filter 1.01
Quark CUPS Filter fixes a problem with QuarkXPress 7 that causes Adobe PDF Printer to fail when creating a PDF from a QuarkXPress document. (Symptom: the Adobe PDF Printer seems to complete its process, but no PDF is generated.) To install this update, just double-click the installer, and the problem is fixed -- no need to relaunch QuarkXPress. Version 1.01 adds support for Mac OS X 10.5; if you're using Mac OS X 10.4 and you've already installed version 1.0 of this filter, you don't need to install version 1.01.
