Beep when exporting to PDF from QuarkXpress

When exporting to PDF from QuarkXpress, you may sometimes hear Quark beep when prompting you to save the PDF. This is due to the fact that the name of the file is too long, and Quark is informing you, in its ridiculously vague way, that the name will be truncated.

This can be a problem when creating PDFs of several files that have similar names: The truncated version of the names for all the files may be identical, and Acrobat Distiller has a nasty habit of over-writing files with the same name. So, you may end up distilling three similarly named files, only to find one PDF sitting on your desktop. To get around this, shorten the names of the files when prompted to save, and name them differently to avoid automatic over-writing.
