    Basically it does create a PDF for print, but QuickCut have got most of the newspaper houses around the world to only accept a file created in QuickCut. The PDF gets sent with a job ticket with all relevant information (newspaper, section, booking ref, etc.) and is set-up to the specific newspapers guidelines (dot gain etc.) If the PDF is set-up wrong the paper will reject it.

    It is quite useful as newspapers have slightly differing column widths. QuickCut keep them all up-to-date and have some obscure publications on their books.

    I'd only get it if you do a lot of Press Advertising to warrant it, otherwise just get an agency to do it for you from your InDesign file.
