The
best way to get ads from AdPro onto your Quark or InDesign pages is to
use intermediary software designed specifically for dummying your
paper. Use AdForce for dummying display ads and ClassForce for dummying
classified ads.
Starting the dummy layout is as easy as exporting ads from AdPro and then importing them into AdForce and ClassForce.

Because
AdPro integrates seamlessly with AdForce, when you import your ads into
AdForce all the ad information, such as ad number, size, color,
position request, file location, etc. gets imported too. Although you
can select all the ads and have them automatically flow onto the dummy
pages at the click of a button, you can also sort the ads first by ad
information and then place the ads as groups. So you can place all your
guaranteed placement ads first, then your color ads, followed by other
groups, such as ads in a particular market.
Moving one ad or many ads between pages or between the runsheet and a
page is as simple as dragging and dropping. AdForce places the ads on
the page according to the layout gravity you specify. And because each
ad type has its own color, you can visually make sure your house ads
get spread among your paid ads.
If you've ever dummied a newspaper by hand, you'll be amazed at the
fraction of the time it takes to dummy a newspaper with AdForce. Once
you've got all the ads where you want them on the pages, simply save
the AdForce file and then open the same file in InDesign or Quark. All
your ads will flow in automatically exactly where you want them, in
correct sizes, ready for you to flow news copy and photos around them.

When you flow classified line ads onto the
ClassForce page, ClassForce recognizes the ad classification and
automatically places the appropriate headers at the beginning of each
classification and at the top of each row. You can flow one
classification at a time, several classifications together, or all
classifications at once.
You can flow your class display ads first, then flow your line ads
around them. Once all your ads are on the dummy page you can justify
your ads at the click of a button. When justifying the ads, ClassForce
can fill gaps with fill ads. The ads can either be new or ones you've
already created for this purpose.
After your ads are justified you can insert line rules between the ads with another click of a button.
As with AdForce, once you've saved the ClassForce file, simply open the
file in Quark or InDesign and watch all your ads automatically flow in,
complete with headings, justification, and line rules. All you'll need
to do is update the folios and send the PDF pages to your printer.
