Markzware ID2Q for
QuarkXPress 10 Mac Pages

Convert InDesign CC (Adobe Creative Cloud) pages from INDD to QuarkXPress QXP with Markzware‘s ID2Q for QuarkXPress 10 Mac Quark XTension:

Please consider the following with ID2Q, conversion software to import InDesign pages from InDesign CC into QuarkXPress.

ID2Q Maximum Page Sizes

The maximum page width or height allowed by QuarkXPress is 48 inches.
The maximum page width or height allowed by InDesign is 216 inches.

• If you convert an InDesign document with Facing Pages over 24″ in width, ID2Q cuts off the page at 24″. The reason is that two 24″ wide (spread width) pages equal the 48″ maximum page (spread) width QuarkXPress can handle.
• If you convert an InDesign document without Facing Pages that is over 48″ in height or width, ID2Q cuts off the page at 48″.

ID2Q and Alternate Layouts from InDesign

QuarkXPress supports something similar to an Alternate Layout when creating an App Studio type document. InDesign allows multiple layouts within a single document. ID2Q can convert all Alternate layouts into a single QXP document.

ID2Q First page left of spine

QuarkXPress does not support a first page left of the spine, unless an even Section Format has been set. QuarkXPress does not support an additional “slug” area. In this case, all pasteboard objects above or below the document page area may not be converted.

ID2Q Multiple Pages

InDesign allows you to create documents with multiple size pages and/or multiple-size Master Pages. QuarkXPress does not support multiple page sizes within a single print Layout. Thus, ID2Q converts multiple-sized paged documents to a single-size page, using the A-Master Page size for all page sizes. Items placed on multiple-sized pages in InDesign may convert. Yet, they will not be in the same physical location on the page as the original InDesign document.

ID2Q Master Pages

1. QuarkXPress does not support multi-page Master Pages (over 2 pages for a double-sided document or over 1 page for a non-facing pages document). InDesign allows up to 10 pages per Master Page.

2. Master Pages based on other Master Pages are not supported by QuarkXPress, but are supported in InDesign. However, the objects will be conveniently created on the referencing Master Page.

3. InDesign supports multiple Layers on a Master Page. QuarkXPress does not support Master Page Layers. Items on multiple layers in InDesign Master Pages may not always convert correctly through ID2Q.

4. Linked text boxes cannot cross master pages nor link to a pasteboard object. Note that pasteboard objects on Master Pages will not be applied to regular pages. However you can see them if you view the Master Page.
