QuarkXPress Font Usage
To check font usage in your document, look under the Utilities menu, select Usage and choose the Fonts tab. This window will provide you with a list of all fonts used in your document and the option to replace them. If you need to check fonts in the Master Pages,
you must first be on one of your Master Pages and then check the Utilities menu and Usage. Hidden fonts are often found in the Master Pages. Do not use font menu styles on a Windows computer. You may bold or italicize a font ONLY if you have the bold or italic version of that font. You must have the actual version of each font that is used in the PDF or it will not embed correctly.

QuarkXPress Image Links
Images and stock artwork should be placed in QuarkXPress, not copied. To do this, draw an image box or use the preset bleed box in the program template, select the File menu and choose Get Picture. To check the image links in your document, look under the Utilities menu, select Usage and choose the Pictures tab. This will provide you with a
list of all the images used in your document and will allow you to update them. If you need to check image links in the Master Pages, you must first be on one of your Master Pages, then check the Utilities menu and Usage. Images with a solid link will display an ”OK”
next to the image name.

Collecting QuarkXPress Documents
In order to collect all the fonts and images used in a document, you can use the collect for Output option located in the File menu. You may want to purchase a program such as Flightcheck® collect to collect all the files. Either of these options will enable you to
