Something is extremely wrong there. Much like you, I've been using QuarkXPress since version 2. I've upgraded each time, and my upgrade to version 8 went without a hitch. It took a few minutes, and I was up and running. I'm also successfully outputting PDFs (quickly, I may add!). Have you tried using Quark's free technical support phone service? There must be a corrupted file or permissions setting somewhere. Wow, Matt! Something is extremely wrong there. Much like you, I’ve been using QuarkXPress since version 2.

Simply activating it and updating to 8.01 was a 3 day nightmare. The tool pallets look like they were designed for school kids, why have one green tool? ... anyway I can't currently made pdf or PS files. If I wait about half an hour eventually I get the helpful error message "cannot make PDF" I'm having to export back to V7 to make PS files prior to distilling. Anyone have any ideas?
