Adobe InDesign INDD to QuarkXPress QXP file conversion, via Markzware‘s Quark XTension, ID2Q:

QuarkXPress users may have many InDesign (INDD) documents that they’d rather not have to re-build in QXP. These QXP users can convert InDesign to a familiar QuarkXPress layout, using ID2Q by Markzware.

ID2Q (InDesign to QuarkXPress)

ID2Q is an XTension for file conversion to import InDesign files into QuarkXPress projects, with accuracy. This conversion software brings over fonts and other elements used in the original INDD document to the QXP document. Markzware’s ID2Q:

  • helps users to get the look of an InDesign layout in a QuarkXPress file format.
  • saves users valuable time on graphic design projects.
  • works great for document conversion from an INDD document to a QXP document.
  • saves a tremendous amount of effort, compared to recreating entire documents.

ID2Q converts one file format (Adobe InDesign CS or CC) to another file format (QuarkXPress). This data conversion tool can be a big help to desktop publishing (DTP) workflows that design in QuarkXPress.
