File conversion software can be a handy way to move content from one file format to another. Markzware Q2ID offers QuarkXPress conversion, with support for several InDesign versions for both macOS and Windows.
How to Open QuarkXPress in Adobe INDD Creative Suite 5.5 with Q2ID:
• Click “Markzware” in the InDesign Menu Bar and select “Convert QuarkXPress® Document…” from the Q2ID fly-out menu.
• Select the QuarkXPress file to convert and click Open. You will see a conversion progress bar. The QuarkXPress file will appear rebuilt in InDesign.
• Save, close and reopen the new InDesign file.
• Remap any missing fonts or images via the InDesign dialog.
• Re-save the new InDesign document.
What’s more, users can batch convert any number of QuarkXPress files into Adobe InDesign, via bulk conversion with Q2ID. For example, a QuarkXPress file handler can turn multiple QXP documents into INDD documents, as well as use single-file conversion.
Batch conversion can significantly speed up your document production process. Markzware Q2ID can convert multiple QXP files, to allow for quick turnaround time.
Commercial printers, publishers, and graphic artists can gain business opportunities, by producing quality documents, with the help of file conversion with Q2ID. INDD document creators and other graphic arts file providers can also benefit from Q2ID’s flexible conversion software features.
Markzware’s latest offering fills in the gap, enabling the Quark-to-InDesign migration in the form of Q2ID. Q2ID is a simple filter plug-in. … It has one specific job, and it does that job well.
Once installed, simply open a QuarkXPress or QuarkXPress Passport layout with InDesign’s File > Open command to begin the conversion … To really speed the job, convert multiple documents at once just like opening INDD files—select sequential files by clicking on the first, then SHIFT-clicking on the last. CMD-click non-sequential files to select them.
The big question is: Does it work? You bet your baseline it does. … One thing that really impressed me is … a feature to preserve the z-order of objects. … If, however, you’ve made the switch to InDesign — and don’t intend to go back — while holding a library of XPress documents, Q2ID will pay for itself in no time.
I consider few plug-ins mandatory for any business. If your business is an InDesign-based service bureau, ad agency, periodical, or any other shop that takes files from clients for incorporation or repurposing into other documents, Q2ID is one of those few.
