Quark 6 won't place native photoshop files, so you could save your file as a layered .tiff and still place it in Quark, then go back and edit layers as necessary. After cracking my wallet for Adobe CS2, and upgrading to CS3, I won't be getting Quark 7 or above. InDesign is a much better program, and I think Adobe finally found a way to break Quark's back with the Creative Suite concept.

Most customers of offset printing (and I'd wager screenprinting) have no idea what format they want stuff in. They'll say "save it in Adobe", or they'll want a copy they think they can edit and call back to say "I can't open it" and have no software with which to open anything.

It sounds to me like this designer assembled the final job in InDesign, and that's why he saved it as a .pdf.
