Hi all! I have quark 6.1 and illustrator CS. I'm new to Quark and am having trouble getting AI files to open in Quark. I've tried flattening the AI files, turning them into PDFs, eps, changing pic boxes to text vica versa etc.

I get "cant open that file format" etc.

The files Im having the most problems with are AI files of text with drop shadows. I assume Quark has no way to do drop shadows itself? Cant find anything in program to do it. Do I have a version compatabilty issue?

The AIs won't open, the EPSs look awful and the PDFs either arn't transferring correctly or lose the text effects. Thanks to anyone willing to help a cranky Quark newborn....

I don't think that Quark likes ai files, but then I haven't used it since version 4. Your eps files will be fine... they display looking really bad, but should print fine. You can place eps, tif, jpeg, etc INTO a quark doc... but you can't open a AI file in quark.
