Q2ID is a fast, reliable and simple plugin for Adobe InDesign that allows you to import documents made in QuarkXPress straight into the program while preserving all important elements in the conversion process.
Q2ID is a plugin made for the popular desktop publishing and design software Adobe InDesign. Exceptionally quick and easy to install and use, the plugin allows you to seamlessly important any document created in QuarkXPress in Adobe InDesign, and best of all, it keeps almost everything intact during the conversion process so that you don't have to worry about losing important on-page elements or other formatting. A highly dependable and affordable method, it is the perfect solution for migrating your content between the two platforms. Users will be able to save a huge amount of time, since they will no longer have to recreate the documents from scratch, and the plugin presents an excellent head-start, saving publishers and designers both time and money in the process.

Available for both Macintosh and Windows operating systems, Q2ID data conversion software moves all of the details and features from the original QuarkXPress document straight into Adobe InDesign where you can continue working right away in a familiar environment with everything intact. The extension works with Adobe InDesign CC 2014, CS6, CS 5.5 and CS 5.0 on both Macintosh and Windows platforms. It is extremely fast as well, and since it works with all documents created with QuarkXPress 4 right up to QuarkXPress 10, it allows you to convert 15 years work of documents. The migration to Adobe InDesign couldn't be easier, even if you have been using QuarkXPress for that long. A huge array of QuarkXPress document items are accurately converted, including layers, styles, tables, color models, images, fonts, anchored boxes, pantone colors, run-arounds, text attributes, linked text boxes, page positioning and much more.

With the Q2ID subscription plan at your disposal, you'll find that this simple yet extremely useful solution will more than pay for itself even if you only want to convert a small handful of documents. However, those who have hundreds or even thousands of QuarkXPress documents that they need to convert need not worry either thanks to the quick and seamless import feature that the plugin adds to Adobe InDesign. The source files are usually quite complex, but this should pose no problem to Q2ID. To convert a QuarkXPress file, all you need to do is launch Adobe InDesign and access the conversion feature from the Markzware menu at the top of the program. This menu will become available immediately upon installing the plugin and restarting the application. Simply navigate to Q2ID - Convert QuarkXPress Document in the Markzware menu, choose the file you want to convert, and start the process. Most conversions typically only take a few seconds to complete, but this does not mean that any accuracy or reliability is sacrificed. After the progress bar fills up, the conversion is complete, and you'll be able to start working with the converted file from within Adobe InDesign.

Q2ID is available as part of a one-year bundle subscription that gives you access to all updates. Alternatively, you can choose from a permanent subscription if you only need to work with InDesign CS6 in either Mac or Windows.
