Welcome to Kona Software. We want to save you time in QuarkXPress and InDesign, automating those awkward, repetitive tasks through the use of Applescript.

If there is a workflow in QuarkXPress or InDesign that you would like to see automated, then let us know. We'll see what we can do.

Here's what we offer so far:

KonaPDF for QuarkXPress 6
This utility takes the drudgery out of creating PDFs from multiple Quark documents. It's ideal for designers and publishers who need to produce frequent, low resolution electronic proofs - PDFs - of their artwork or publications so that clients can see how the job is progressing. Requires Acrobat Distiller.

KonaPDF for InDesign
As the name suggests, this does the same as the program above, but for Adobe InDesign. It uses InDesign's own internal PDF engine and does not require Acrobat Distiller.

Hikona
This is for QuarkXPress 6. It works just like KonaPDF, but instead of producing low resolution PostScript files with no crops or trims, it outputs high resolution PostScript files with all your own job requirements for page size, bleed, registration marks etc - you send us your Quark print settings, we hard-wire them into the program.
