Abstract(s)
Os objectos gráficos, quer nos sejam apresentados em suporte digital quer
em suporte
físico impresso, são divididos em unidades a que chamamos páginas. A
disposição organizada dos elementos constituintes de uma página – texto, imagens e
outros elementos, previamente tratada tendo em vista o objectivo final – é designada
por paginação. Quando é preciso escolher uma solução de paginação, existem vários
factores a ter em conta. Entre eles estão a capacidade, a eficácia, as dificuldades de
aprendizagem e a integração com outros programas.
Este estudo pretende fazer uma avaliação objectiva, sempre que possível quantificável,
do desempenho dos programas mais utilizados no sector gráfico: o Adobe InDesign CS5
e o QuarkXPress 8.5. Foram analisados os vários factores que são ponderados na decisão
da utilização desse software.
A análise consiste na execução de dezassete testes idênticos em cada aplicação e na
qualidade dos recursos qualitativos. Foram analisadas áreas como: trabalhar com páginas
e documentos, tipografia, objectos, preflight e exportação para PDF.
Os resultados demonstram que o Adobe InDesign CS5, oferece melhores recursos
que o QuarkXPress 8.5, apresentando-se mais prático e directo na aplicação e alterações
no trabalho. O InDesign CS5 é mais rápido e funcional, oferece uma melhor performance
como a tipografia; estilos de texto e objecto; funções para documentos longos, pesquisas
várias, tabelas, preflight e exportação para PDF.
O QuarkXPress 8.5 tem alguns recursos únicos que são bastante úteis como por
exemplo a partilha de objectos e conteúdos entre documentos do mesmo projecto.
O estudo permitiu verificar as principais diferenças e semelhanças, confrontando‑as
com estudos anteriores sobre o mesmo problema, detectando a evolução e as tendências
subjacentes
Graphic objects are divided into units called pages, whether they are in digital format or printed on a physical support. Paging is the act of organizing elements of a page – text, images and other elements, previously treated regarding this ultime goal. When it is necessary to choose a solution for paging, there are several factors to consider, like the capacity, the efficacy, the difficulties of learning and the integration with other programs. This study intends to make an objective assessment, where possible quantifiable, regarding the performance of the most common software, in graphic arts: Adobe InDesign Cs5 and QuarkXPress 8.5. Various factors governing the decision to use the software were analyzed. The analysis consists of the execution of sixteen identical tests in each application and the quality of qualitative resources. Areas were analyzed as: work with pages and documents, typography, objects, preflight and export for PDF. The results demonstrate that Adobe InDesign CS5, offer better resources that QuarkXPress 8.5, and presents more practical and direct in the application and modifications in work. InDesign CS5 is faster and functional, offers better performance as typography; styles of text and object; functions for long documents, research several, tables, preflight and export for PDF. QuarkXPress 8.5 has some resources that are very useful as for example the share of objects and contents between documents of the same project. This study verified the main differences and similarities, comparing them with previous studies on the same problem, detecting changes and tendencies.
