QuarkXTensions allow you to add features and capabilities to QuarkXPress for specialized publishing tasks. Some XTensions help to streamline repetitive functions, some allow you to import information from other applications, and others provide entirely new features. They can assist with database publishing, design, editing, PDF creation, preflight, printing and many other utility functions. Using QuarkXPress as the core of an electronic publishing system and strengthening its capabilities with XTensions is a powerful, cost-effective way to solve complex publishing problems.

Much like system extensions, QuarkXTensions are easy to install and to remove. Once you have placed an XTension in the XTension folder of QuarkXPress, the next time you start up the application, it will seamlessly integrate the XTension into its interface. Typically, a new tool icon and/or menu item will appear. If you remove the XTension from this folder, the next time you start up QuarkXPress, the XTension will no longer be loaded.
