I tried sundry other tricks, only to discover that I needed at least two other online accounts, one for support, and the other as a customer.įor the first I had to provide my serial number, which would only be generated with a validation code, which I did not have. The website politely denied my existence. Having created myself a Quark Online Store account, complete with username and password, I tried entering those to raise a support incident. So I went back onto the Quark website, rummaged around a bit, then decided that the only solution was to contact product support. So I was confronted with the installer’s request for what seemed like 246 alphanumeric characters, when I could not even provide one. None had appeared on my sales invoice, and no later email provided it. The purchase and download went flawlessly, but when it came to providing a validation code, I was stuck. Over the next couple of hours, would have changed its mind every few minutes. I came back to the Quark online shop and just had to buy it. I did the walk-away test too, going off and doing what I should have been doing, shuffling my large stacks of art books ready for the next series of articles here. I had never used QuarkXPress much in the past, always being a bit Aldus/Adobe, but it would be a lovely opportunity to catch up with an old acquaintance. Then I realised that Quark had just released QuarkXPress 2015, with its long and proud record of typographical excellence, its mature print publishing features, and now its royalty-free electronic publishing in both ePub (for iTunes) and Kindle formats. Although I love using LaTeX for technical work, there remains a gulf between it and ePub (and other) electronic publishing, which is still very hard to bridge. Much as I would have preferred to use FrameMaker+SGML, Adobe decided some years ago that, as a Mac user, I was not good enough for it, and made it Windows-only. The gap remained in page and document layout.
I have several web design tools in lieu of Dreamweaver, and it was time to get more value out of them too. I have already bought (but barely used) Pixelmator and Affinity Designer, which will probably be much better used than Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. The time had come to move on to alternatives.

Well I do not and cannot sign up to that sort of draconian commitment, despite having invested large sums in every upgrade to Creative Studio in the past.

I have whinged repeatedly about Adobe tax, the monthly lease that you have to pay if you want to license Adobe’s Creative Cloud apps. This morning I nearly took a selfie and posted it there to see if it would cope with ages over 100. I hope you haven’t succumbed to vanity and posted your photo in ? It is mere vanity, like staring intently in a mirror: and if it dares tell you that you are a whisker over your real age, you won’t believe it anyway.
