Convert Adobe InDesign to QuarkXPress — a Demonstration

Learn, Video Tutorial, XTensions

I ran across a three-and-a-half minute video that demonstrates how to convert an InDesign document to QuarkXPress, using Markzware’s ID2Q. When you’re handed an InDesign document that really should have been built in QuarkXPress, this $199 XTension can save you tons of time and frustration.

Tip: click on the resolution button in the lower right corner of the video (it normally says 320p) and change it to 720p. Then click the four-arrow icon to its right to see everything in much greater detail.

    Just curious what criterion do you use when deciding that, whether to work a file in InDesign or QuarkXPress. What would be an example of something in one app that would make you use it in lieu of the other.

    Client asks for file conversion to QXP for further in-house edits. Editors have Copy Desk and QXP but not InDesign or InCopy.
