In the past, we've told you about KonaPDF - a way of creating low resolution PDFs automatically from QuarkXPress via Acrobat Distiller. Its benefits were twofold: 1) all those Quark Print settings - so easy for a Mac operator to get wrong or overlook - are set automatically, without user interaction. 2) batch output: KonaPDF operated on a folder of Quark files, outputting each page as a PostScript file and placing these in an Acrobat watched folder for Distiller to convert to PDF straight away. Now there's Hikona - it does the same, but at high resolution with oversize pages to accommodate registration marks, crops and trims. We think Hikona will be of interest to any publishing company that makes high-resolution, press-ready PDFs from QuarkXPress 6.
