Fools and Their Foolproof Workflows --McIlroy

Seybold asked "Which file types do you currently receive for print output most often?" and GATF asked "In what primary formats do your clients submit page layout files?" Seybold reported QuarkXPress at 40 percent and PDF at 29 percent. GATF reported QuarkXPress at 53 percent and PDF at 23 percent.

We knew that QuarkXPress is still the dominant format for page layout, and now we know that most QuarkXPress users are not yet creating PDFs from their files before submission. That's too bad, because PDF is a better workflow. But more about that later.
