OS10.1.5 (running classic within osx for quark)
My wife uses Quark for page layout work. She constantly needs to convert the .EPS files from Quark into .PDF files. When she uses Adobe Distiller (in classic) it will only convert 1 page at a time, this can be very time consuming for documents that are 40+ pages. Not only is that a pain in the azz, but then she must go into Acrobat and takes those 40 different pdf files and convert them into 1 PDF file.
What I am looking for is some program (wanting OSX native) that will convert the .EPS file into 1 large PDF file that will contain all 40 pages with out going through the time consuming steps she is currently performing.
Also we found a OSX native program that will convert .EPS into .PDF’s called “Pstill” but one problem we had was that when we converted files that had large images the .PDF file size would be 50+megs. When we used Distiller to convert the same file it would be less then 1meg in size. The client would not like to receive hundreds of 50+meg files all day long.
If anyone has any ideas that would help us out I (and she) would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Look in the Utilities menu for the export as PDF function. It was in Quark 4.11 and should do the trick for you.
Otherwise, don't do the save as eps. Instead, print your document to a file (see the option in a postscript print driver like Laserwriter8). Then you can take the .ps file and run it through distiller.
Enjoy!

There's the million dollar answer.

I know I'm repeating the above, but EPS-ing the pages is like an added step towards what you want from your final result. As mentionned making a postscript file of the entire document is the way to go. Then just drop it on distiller and BLAM you've got your multi-paged PDF file.
