# If I get InDesign, will I miss Quark?What version of Quark? They are different still but getting less so in terms of functionality.
I think that if a PDF is entirely text and other vector-based elements, then it is resolution independentPDFs rasterize pretty much anything which is how the images and fonts and things can be platform and machine independent.

Whatever the newest one is. I'm wanting to decide whether I need to buy Quark, or if InDesign will satisfy my needs.

The govt. forms I opened in Photoshop were definitely not rasterized. Photoshop prompted me for what resolution I wanted and they looked sharp even if I chose one that was very high.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I am reading InDesign as NoiseDesign.
Someone is wondering if he would get them over the bartender on Deep Space Nine and Jon and his new wife should have a chat about his needs.

Oh dear, Jonny Spaceman had the fling with the bartender.
I don't judge.

Quark 6 then. InDesign should take care of everything you need. There really are not a lot of differences by now. It's style over substance and the style preferences are mostly just whatever you are used to using already.
The govt. forms I opened in Photoshop were definitely not rasterized. Photoshop prompted me for what resolution I wanted and they looked sharp even if I chose one that was very high.Opening a pdf in a raster program like PhotoShop will prompt you to select a max dpi. If you've saved the pdf at an irrationally high resolution (1200 for me usually, because I used to send things to Press), anything lower won't show any degradation. Trying to open up a pdf saved at 72 dpi at 300 dpi will show the ragged edges because the original file is saved lower.

Excellent. Thanks.

I'm still doubtful. If the PDF has no images, I don't think it's rasterized internally. If it is, why would the file size of the PDF be so much smaller than, say, a compressed TIF file of the same page?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Y'all are going to make me spend the day reading up on the portable document format.
But I guess I did this to myself.
Another factor to consider is how portable is portable--you have the option of embedding fonts in your PDF or not.
