UNDERSTANDING QUARKXPRESS SERVER

Chapter 1: Getting started with
QuarkXPress Server

QuarkXPress Server lets you use a Web browser to view and output QuarkXPress

projects in a variety of formats.

UNDERSTANDING QUARKXPRESS SERVER

QuarkXPress Server lets you output customized QuarkXPress layouts in a
variety of formats (including JPEG, Portable Document Format — PDF, and
PostScript
request to a QuarkXPress Server application, all you need to do is enter a
URL into your Web browser’s address field. For example, the following URL
instructs the QuarkXPress Server application named “QXPServer7” to return
the file “MyProject.qxp” as a PDF file:

®

) from a centralized QuarkXPress Server application. To send a

http://QXPServer7:8080/PDF/MyProject.qxp

The QuarkXPress Server application receives these requests, renders (creates)
the requested projects in the requested formats, and then returns the rendered
file to the client application (in this case, the Web browser).

The format of QuarkXPress Server URL requests is described in detail in
Chapter 3, “Creating URL requests,” and in the

Integration Guide

You can also create custom applications that communicate with a
QuarkXPress Server application using HTTP, Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP), or another protocol. For more information, see the
Web Integration Guide.

You can think of QuarkXPress Server as a special version of QuarkXPress that
runs on a server with the following main differences:

• Instead of accepting input from a keyboard and mouse, QuarkXPress Server
accepts input in the form of URLs.

• Instead of sending a project to a printer, QuarkXPress Server renders (creates)
output in a particular format and sends the rendered file to a client.

SERVER TEMPLATES AND STATIC PROJECTS

QuarkXPress Server can open, render, and serve two types of projects:

• Static projects are QuarkXPress projects that can be rendered and served as-is
in a variety of formats by the QuarkXPress Server application. For example,
you might make a product manual available as a static project and allow
customers to download that manual in a variety of formats.

Server templates are QuarkXPress projects that can be manipulated by the

•
QuarkXPress Server application before being rendered and served. For exam­ple, you might make a sales piece available as a server template so that each
person who downloads it receives a personalized copy.

QuarkXPress Server can open QuarkXPress documents, projects, and templates
created in any non-East-Asian edition of QuarkXPress 5.0 or later. QuarkXPress
Server can save and export projects only in QuarkXPress 6.x and
QuarkXPress 7.x format.

THE DOCUMENT POOL

QuarkXPress Server reads server templates and static projects from a direc­tory called the

document pool. The document pool can be any directory that
is available to QuarkXPress Server through a file system or an FTP server. You
can use any of the following methods to place files in the document pool:

• Drag the files to the document pool directory.

• Upload the files using FTP to the document pool directory.

®

• Use Telegraph XTensions

software to upload the files to the document pool
from within QuarkXPress. (For more information about Telegraph XTensions
software, see Chapter 5, “Telegraph XTensions software.”)

For more information about the document pool, see “

Server configuration

dialog box” in Chapter 2, “The QuarkXPress Server user interface.”

QuarkXPress Server 7 can also serve documents from a database, a content
management system, or other sources. Collectively, the document pool and
any other source of files to be served are referred to as

PROJECTS AND LA

YOUTS

document providers.

QuarkXPress projects can contain one or more layouts, and only one layout can
be rendered at any given time. If you do not specify a layout when you send a
rendering request, QuarkXPress Server renders the first layout in the project.

CACHING

To maximize efficiency, QuarkXPress Server uses cached versions of all rendered
projects whenever possible. You can configure projects so that they are never
cached, so that they are cached for a particular amount of time, or so that they
are rendered every time they are served. For more information about caching,

Server configuration dialog box” in Chapter 2, “The QuarkXPress Server

see “
user interface.”

QUARKXPRESS SERVER PREFERENCES

When you launch QuarkXPress Server, the application creates preferences
files that are functionally and structurally equivalent to the preferences files
created by QuarkXPress. These preferences files reside in the QuarkXPress
Server “Preferences” folder. QuarkXPress Server also creates an “XPressServer
Preferences.prf” file in the “Preferences” folder; this file contains preference
settings that are specific to QuarkXPress Server.

QuarkXPress Server uses these preferences the same way QuarkXPress uses
them. If an XTensions module creates a project in QuarkXPress Server, that
project draws its settings from the QuarkXPress Server preferences just as a
new QuarkXPress project draws its settings from the QuarkXPress preferences.

Preferences files are stored in the following locations:

• Mac OS:

[User]/Library/Preferences/Quark

• Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\

Quark\QuarkXPress Server 7.0\Preferences

For more information about preferences, see “Server preferences” in Chapter 2,
“The QuarkXPress Server user interface.”

QUARK LICENSE ADMINISTRATOR

To prevent unauthorized use, QuarkXPress Server requires the presence of a

®

Quark

License Administrator (QLA) server to launch. QuarkXPress Server fol­lows the configuration and control rules that are enforced by QLA. For more
information about QLA, see the QLA documentation included with
QuarkXPress Server.

MASTER-SUBRENDERER ENVIRONMENT

Requests for project renders are stored in a connection queue. The requests in
the rendering queue can be processed by a single QuarkXPress Server applica­tion, or by a master QuarkXPress Server application and several subrenderers
(additional instances of QuarkXPress Server). The master QuarkXPress Server
application launches the available number of subrenderers and then passes
the requests in the connection queue to those subrenderers as they become
available. The number of subrenderers available for launch is determined by
the number of licenses available from the QLA server.

CHAPTER 1: GETTING ST

he master QuarkXPress Server application and all of the subrenderers it

T
launches share the following elements:

• The same application preferences files on disk

• The same document cache in memory

• The same memory cache

• The same server XTensions modules

• The same server document pool (if defined in the QuarkXPress Server preferences
or if a document provider is used in place of the document pool)

If a subrenderer unexpectedly quits, the master QuarkXPress Server restarts
the subrenderer without requiring any action from you.

The master-subrenderer environment can be initiated from the command line
or by any means that can issue a command-line command (such as scripts
and shortcuts).

THE KEEPALIVE SCRIPT

A script called the keepalive script can monitor a QuarkXPress Server application
and restart the application if it fails. To use this feature, launch QuarkXPress
Server by running the “keepalive.sh” script (Mac OS) or “keepalive.bat”
(Windows) script. Note that the keepalive script works only if you run it before
you launch QuarkXPress Server. You can also manually restart QuarkXPress
Server using this script.

On both platforms, information about unexpected shutdowns (including the
error date, time, code, and description) is stored in an error log file. For more
information about logging, see “Logging (tab)” in Chapter 2, “The QuarkXPress
Server user interface.”

UNDERSTANDING QUARKXPRESS SERVER XTENSIONS SOFTWARE

QuarkXPress Server ships with a collection of XTensions software that adds
capabilities to QuarkXPress Server. For example, PDF Export XTensions soft­ware lets QuarkXPress Server serve content in PDF format, Deconstructor
XTensions software lets you retrieve XML representations of projects, and
Modifier XT

ensions software lets you manipulate text, pictures, and boxes
(among other things). Telegraph XTensions software works with QuarkXPress
to allow designers to name boxes in template files so that those boxes can be
addressed by URLs and to control caching for individual items.

THE QUARKXPRESS SERVER XTENSIONS APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API)

In addition to the XTensions modules included with QuarkXPress Server, devel­opers can create custom XTensions software that add features. The complete
server XTensions Application Programming Interface (API) documentation is
available in the QuarkXPress Server XTensions Developer’s Kit (XDK).

The QuarkXPress Server XDK lets you create XTensions modules that provide
the following abilities:

• The ability to register request handlers

• The ability to register project providers

• The ability to register new render formats

• The ability to add items to the list of response properties, cookies, and HTTP
header items

• The ability to log messages in log files and in the status monitor

• The ability to initiate a new transaction to be processed by the server

• The ability to completely control how projects are processed by the server

In addition, QuarkXPress Server XTensions software can register for the
following basic callbacks:

• Pre-processing

• Content loading

• Layout modification

• Post-processing

• Removing slugs while running the QuarkXPress project renderer

• Analyzing the server after a transaction is complete

• Pre- and post-transaction callback

LAUNCHING QUARKXPRESS SERVER

QuarkXPress Server consists of a single executable that can be executed in two
modes. Both modes are available on Mac OS and Windows.

When executed in

console mode, QuarkXPress Server displays a limited user
interface for configuring the server. To access QuarkXPress Server in console
mode, double-click the program icon.

LAUNCHING QUARKXPRESS SERVER

hen executed in no-UI mode,QuarkXPress Server displays no visible user

W
interface and must be controlled (started and stopped) from a command
prompt. Running QuarkXPress Server in no-UI mode will slightly improve
its performance. To access QuarkXPress Server in no-UI mode, launch the
application from the command line. For example:

• To launch QuarkXPress Server in no-UI mode on Mac OS, Control+click the
QuarkXPress Server application file and choose
the “QuarkXPress Server.exe” file from the
X11 terminal window, add “ –noui” to the end of the command, and press Enter.

• To launch QuarkXPress Server in no-UI mode from the command line on
Windows, use a command such as:

Server 7\QuarkXPress Server\QuarkXPress Server.exe -noui.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

QuarkXPress Server supports the following command-line options:

• The

noui option makes the server run without any user interface. This is the

normal mode for production use of QuarkXPress Server.

• The

-nonetwork parameter makes the server run without loading any network

interfaces; in this mode, the only transactions a server can run are those passed
to it by another process.

-tm parameter makes the transaction layer of the server mask exceptions

• The
into transaction errors.

-tt parameter makes the transaction layer of the server throw exceptions

• The

EXIT CODES

When the server shuts down, QuarkXPress Server returns exit codes. The
“keepalive.sh” file (Mac OS) or “keepalive.bat” file (Windows) uses these
codes to check the type of QuarkXPress Server shutdown. If the exit code
indicates that QuarkXPress Server shut down unexpectedly, the “keepalive”
utilities automatically relaunch QuarkXPress Server.

Valid exit codes are as follows:

• QUARK DYNAMIC DOCUMENT SERVER_EXIT_NORMAL (0): The server
exited normally.

• QUARK DYNAMIC DOCUMENT SERVER_EXIT_EXCEPTION (6969): The server
exited as a result of an exception that was handled by the server layer.

QUARK DYNAMIC DOCUMENT SER

•
exited as a result of a startup problem. In this case, restarting does not solve
the problem; you must relaunch QLA.

• QUARK DYNAMIC DOCUMENT SERVER_EXIT_RESTART (6971): The server
exited as a result of a remotely requested restart.

• QUARK DYNAMIC DOCUMENT SERVER_EXIT_SHUTDOWN (6972):
The server exited as a result of a remotely requested shutdown.

line of text to the baseline of the line above. This is the method preferred by
most typesetters and is selected by default.

AUTO LEADING (FIELD)

QuarkXPress Server Þ Preferences Þ Paragraph pane

In the Auto Leading field, enter the line spacing percentage. Unlike paragraphs
with absolute leading (which applies identical line spacing above every line),
paragraphs with auto leading can include lines with different leading when
different fonts and font sizes are mixed in the same paragraph.

Auto leading starts with a base amount of leading, which is calculated by exam­ining the

ascent and descent values built in to the fonts used in an auto-leaded

line and the line above it; however, the user-specified text size is the major
factor that determines this base amount. Finally, any value you specify in the
Auto Leading field is added to the base amount to arrive at the total amount
of leading.

default option.

• Choose Proportional to trap using the value in the Auto Amount field mul­tiplied by the difference between the luminosity (lightness or brightness) of

Proportional trapping compares the

luminosity of the object color and background color to determine how different
they are and applies trapping accordingly.

• Choose

PROCESS TRAPPING (CHECK BOX)

QuarkXPress Server Þ Preferences Þ Trapping pane

Check Process Trapping to trap each process separation plate individually
when a page contains overlapping process colors. When you print color sepa­rations, QuarkXPress Server compares the darkness of each process component
of an object color to the darkness of the corresponding process component of
the background color and traps accordingly. For example, the shade of cyan in
an object color is compared with the shade of cyan in the background color;
similar comparisons are made for the other plates that are used for output.

For text up to 24pt and small items (dimensions up to 10pt), QuarkXPress
Server attempts to preserve the item’s shape during process trapping by not
allowing automatic spreads or chokes when the item’s shape would be com­promised. QuarkXPress Server attempts to preserve item shape by comparing
the darkness of each process component of an item to the darkness of its
entire background. A spread is applied only when the process components of
an item are less than or equal to half the darkness of its background. A choke
is applied only when the process components of a background are less than
or equal to half the darkness of the item in front of it. You cannot choke text.

OUTPUT STYLES

The Output Styles command displays the Output Styles dialog box, which
enables you to create and manage custom output styles. An output style is a
group of print settings that you implement at output. Using output styles
eliminates the need to re-create complex or frequently used print settings
every time you print. Output styles are available when rendering a project in
EPS, PDF, PPML, and PostScript format.

When QuarkXPress Server renders a project, any output style that was applied by
QuarkXPress is overridden. If the client specifies an output style in the request,
that output style is used; otherwise, the default QuarkXPress Server output
style is applied instead.
