The introduction of Real World QuarkXPress 7 is titled "The Oldest Living Layout App." True enough; QuarkXPress has survived and thrived while applications such as Ventura Publisher and Aldus PageMaker have dissolved into obscurity.
Rather than being left behind as publishing evolved, QuarkXPress has sprouted new features that enable it to take advantage of industry changes such as the emergence of the PDF, the web, and XML. Even as it embraced the future, QuarkXPress has never left behind its core block of users: designers. Alongside features such as Job Jackets and PPML export, each new release of QuarkXPress has introduced designer-friendly features such as Photoshop import, image effects, transparency, and automatic drop shadows.
