The example above shows an original InDesign document on the left and the converted Quark document on the right. Linked text boxes will be recreated in the new document. Differences between the InDesign and QuarkXPress text layout engines will likely cause the text to split between the linked boxes differently.
Although there are differences in the runaround settings between InDesign and QuarkXPress, you will find that the automatic conversion process is highly accurate.
Both Paragraph and Character Style Sheets are maintained through the conversion process. Years of our team perfecting the conversion process ensures that all style data is copied over. Images, both Linked and Embedded, are recreated as originally designed in the converted document. Fast, precise, trustworthy, easy to use… qualities every designer values. And the price is helpful to any budget. It saved me, not hours, but days worth of time. It worked extremely well and it was worth every penny!
This program saved me a ton of time and money after my computer updated itself and my Indesign files would no longer open anymore. My Quark worked so I am using this to transfer my Indesign files as needed. The file I translated was a large file and don't know if that was the problem. There were hundreds of names on a gray background which translated just fine except there were multiple text boxes which were difficult to delete to edit the text.
And there was also a white background around the text. Other than that it was flawless. I was glad to find out this plug-in but there are a couple issues I have with it. I was hoping to open every ID file and just click save a couple hundred times to move every thing across quickly but it doesn't work quite that easy.
The Mac's file tags will not come across with conversion so this now turns into a big process to have to hunt down each ID file and match it's tags over to the new converted Quark file. It would be perfectly fine to do this once but hundreds of times!!? No, I don't have time for that and there is no way to automate this. At the moment I am just doing one conversion at a time when I need it.
The few conversions I have done seem to come across pretty well but I had one document where the layout wasn't aligned to the page. I might have done something wrong though. I will pay close attention to future conversions to see if it is something I am doing or if that is an issue with the software. The more I find out I will come back here to post. ID2Q makes the task of building the design in Quark much easier saving us many hours of reconstructing and comparing our finished layout to what was supplied in Indesign.
We also use Q2ID when a client request one of our layouts from our publishing system. Search Search. Working with Files Image. Information Title. How to Convert Quark to InDesign. URL Name. Article Detail Article. Here's what happens when a QuarkXPress file is converted to InDesign: Graphics and text are kept intact, and they're listed in the Links panel. QuarkXPress text boxes are changed to InDesign text frames.
The positioning of all text boxes and images were the same, and with only the odd spacing glitch where I'd embedded images within text boxes, all was fine. I spent a lot of time checking each page, but not nearly as much time as I would have spent recreating the documents from scratch. And I found that InDesign ended up being much nicer and more stable to work with.
Whatever version of InDesign you're using, make sure you have the latest update from Adobe. For these free updates, Mac users click here and Windows users click here. You might have to re-establish image links, but that should be about it.
InDesign will import most of the document information intact - and that's it! You can now save the file as an INDD file. Make sure you check the content carefully though - no conversion is perfect. What about converting Quark 5 files? No problem. Then you'll be able to open the file in InDesign as explained above. How about converting Quark 6 files?
No problem! Open them in Quark 6 which you'll need! Then you'll need to open them in Quark 5 and back-save them to version 4! And then you'll be able to open them in InDesign.
