Is there a way to get a PS file out of QXP cropped to the dimensions of the
document? Or am I supposed to trim the excess off in Acrobat everytime the
size is different from the standard paper sizes?
You need to use EPS, and NOT PS.
That 's not a good idea if you ever use TrueType fonts.
Why would it be a problem? TT fonts embed just fine in EPS
files, just as well as T1 fonts do. (and of course, one would ask
WHY you are using TT fonts in a prepress environment?!?!)
The solution is to
make a modified Distiller PPD that gets around the Quark bug that otherwise
stops you from setting the page width.
Hacking PPD's is a BAD IDEA unless you know EXACTLY what you
are doing, and are willing to take future compatibility hassles.
