I found it. They really don't make it easy, do they?

It's still just about as slow as a normal process to the distiller, but it makes it easier and consolidates all the controls into quark. There is a preference pane for it, and you can also set options when you do the actuall export. Good luck. Let me know how it works for you.

Do they have that thingamajigger for Quark 5 too?
And I agree with Louis, we should have So. Florida Game Publisher Picnic Day.

My memory is hazy. Either Quark 5 came with it or the same download works with 5 (if you're asking, I guess it's the latter). Try downloading the file and seeing what the instructions say. I think all the xtensions for 4 and 5 are pretty much the same. Quark 6 introduced some drastic changes however.HalWhitewyrm said:

Well....the good news is there's an xtension that might possibly work. The bad news is, it didn't work for me. Mind you, I probably shouldn't even be running Quark 4.0 on my Windows XP laptop, but I do nonetheless. I tried to download an updater from the Quark site to bump me up to 4.1, and that didn't work either.
I'm getting InDesign. On Amazon it's a few hundred cheaper than from Adobe. I'm going to have a glass of wine and try to relax and not stress out anymore about this.
(But I'm still going to try one last time to make Quark do what I want, on my fiance's Windows 2000 pc, where there's an actual printer driver connected. Going to try to do the old print-to-file and see if I can't blow something up. Jebus I'm stubborn.)
And one of these Saturdays Sean and I will stop by that gaming store in Ft. Lauderdale. I just emailed Daniel that we should all meet up some day - that'd be interesting.
Thanks for trying to help me, everybody. You're all the nicest and the coolest.

Oh, and Sean wanted to know if this is anywhere near The Comic and Gamer's Exchange or Past Present Future. (not sure what it's called now)

You may want to look around for older versions of InDesign being sold at a discount. There are also OEM discounters who sell InDesign at a much lower price.
The difference in speed, function, and user friendliness between even older versions of InDesign and Quark is staggering. When my old employer switched to InDesign they were able to do so for less than updating Quark. Once you have tried InDesign you will find going back to Quark quite painful...

Most annoying...
But you could try the following, i tested it and as far as i can see it works.
- Create a pdf with exactly the same fonts, but make sure you embed the fonts (you could do this with the demo version of indesign.
- Open the pdf with the embeded fonts in Acrobat (i tested it with acrobats pro 6).
- Insert the document you want to have the embeded fonts
- Save as "new name".
- Delete the page that you vreated with the mebeded fonts.
- Save as "another new name".
- Tada! Embeded fonts, instead of embeded subset fonts.
This ain't the cleanest approach, but it works, and should make the folks at lulu happy...
