"We want to give our partners the tools they need to service our mutual customers more effectively.
PDF issues cost our partners and customers a lot of time and money.
Together with Enfocus we can empower our partners to leap over many of these expensive hurdles," said Cyndie Shaffstall, manager of Quark Alliance programmes.
In 2005, Quark joined the Ghent PDF workgroup, of which Enfocus is a founding member, as the first step in an effort to improve PDF workflows.
Quark's Jurgen Kurz, the senior vice president of software development, said: "True Certified PDF consistency is one of the next major hurdles facing the publishing industry.
Quark will continue to work with companies that will help win this battle for the publishing professional.
Enfocus technologies are a perfect complement to QuarkXPress - we know our millions of customers will be pleased." Patrick Van Dam, Enfocus's executive vice president of sales and marketing, said: "This agreement is a win-win situation for all parties.
For Enfocus, it is an excellent way to jump-start the adoption of Certified PDF by the designer community.
Enfocus's Certified PDF technology has achieved widespread industry acceptance at the document receiver end, where publishers and printers recognise the time-savings and quality they enjoy when utilising Enfocus Certified PDF files.
The Quark and Enfocus strategic alliance will benefit designers, giving them a very simple and convenient solution for creating flawless, error-free Certified PDF files that output properly.".
