How you can round-trip flaky ID files using both Q2ID and ID2Q.
ID Secrets has covered converting Quark files in the past. I have seen colors that won’t delete, styles that won’t stick, master pages won’t apply and other strange things. From my experience this is good preventative maintenance since converted quark files can causes headaches. Although it might be interesting to try exporting it as an IDML and reopen it to see if that does an even better job (which I assume it does). You will want to clean it up by exporting your newly converted file as an inx and then re-open it to clean up the file. I also recommend that when-ever you are converted a quark file. To fix this, go to your preferences > Composition > and turn off substituted glyphs. This is because Q2ID turns of substituted glyph highlighting in the preferences. One annoyance that you need to look out for is that after a conversion, some of your text will get a yellow highlight. The more basic the layout, the better your results. There will be some text re-flow issues and you will want to make sure nothing crazy happened. That is a headache that this plug-in solves.įrom my experience with this plug-in I feel that it does about a 95% job. Website: Price: 12 Month Bundle Subscription or CS6 perpetual license, 199.

Then finally you can open it for free inside InDesign. Overall, Markzware’s claim that Q2ID will save you significant time compared with rebuilding a QuarkXPress document in InDesign is true. Otherwise if you have a Quark 8 file, you need to Export it out of Quark 8 to Quark 7, then open Quark 7 and export to Quark 6, open it in Quark 6 and export to Quark 5, Open it in Quark 5 and export to Quark 4. I still have to deal with an old Quark file every now and then, and it is easily worth the money.The plug-in is needed if you want to open Quark 5-8 files.
Personally, I really think this is a very useful plug-in. They are providing free upgrades to people that purchased it after Oct 17. It now supports both InDesign CS4 and the ability to convert QuarkXPress 8 files.
