ID2Q Interactive Items such as Movies, Buttons, URLs

In the newer versions of InDesign, Designers can now add interactive items to create rich media documents. ID2Q is currently only targeted at documents designed to be printed and will not convert any of the interactive/rich media features that InDesign allows to be used.

ID2Q will attempt to convert an interactive document the best it can, but many items may be skipped during the conversion process, thus giving the final result of a Quark file with missing pieces.

If, after converting an InDesign document to Quark using ID2Q, you find missing pieces, please first make sure that the missing pieces were not interactive pieces in the original InDesign document. Interactive items, such as buttons and movies, require an image, font or color in order to be visible. Since ID2Q does not convert buttons and movies, these items may leave gaps in the final converted document.

ID2Q Interactive Items (URLs)

ID2Q will not convert hyperlinks or urls in InDesign documents. The text that has the hyperlink associated with it should convert, but the text will no longer be a hyperlink, just text.
