Converting Quark files

I'm switching from Quark 6.5 to InDesign. To convert an existing 6.5 file, I'm told to first save it back to 4.0 BUT Quark will only let me save back to 5.0. How can I open the file in InDesign without having to purchase Marksware? Thanks.

If you have a full library of files, then the money spent on the
Markzware plugin will pay for itself over and over again.
If you only have one file, you can send it to me and I'll convert it for
you. Click on my name, go to my website for contact info.

What is the best software/plugin for converting Quark files to Indesign?

What is the best software/plugin for converting Quark files to Indesign?
I don't want to upgrade to the latest Quark now i've got CC so going to make the leap to indesign only. Does Indesign auto convert or do I need anything else?

ID does not load QXD files. There is a respective commercial third-party plug-in to that effect, but it's rather pricey and I'm not up to speed which versions of Quark and ID it supports and which features come over. Inquire in the ID forum.

Converting Quark Files to InDesign CS3

Currently have had problems converting a Quark 5.0 file into ID CS3 Windows platform. It is my understanding that ID CS3 only accepts Quark 4.1 and under...is there anyway around this? The person with the Quark 5.0 file is not able to 'Save As' a 4.1 or lower version; the software doesn't allow it. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Email it to me and I'll convert it for you. If you get a lot of these,
you might want to invest in Q2ID from Markzware.

How to convert quark file to Indesign

Hi publisher,
You can choose File > Open, select the file wants to be opened in InDesign to open documents and templates created with QuarkXPress or QuarkXPress. There are some recent verions of Quark that are not supported by InDesign. So if your file is created in earlier versions of quark, it may seem working in InDesign when opening, else recent versions are not supported.

Just one Quark file to convert to InDesign

I have just a single, simple 2 page Quark file I need to convert to InDesign. I don't remember which version of QuarkXpress it was, possible version 6. My old Mac that ran Quark is not working now, so I cannot check. But I have a copy of the file that I need converted to work on InDesign CC. A company called Markzware has a plug-in that can do the job, but paying $200 for it is too steep for just one file.
Is there a cheaper way? I'd be happy to pay, say, $40 to get this file converted. Thanks for any help!

I can open and down save it, then get it into ID for you. I have a few versions of Quark installed.
I have never gone this route and don't know the quality of conversion, however. Don't have markzware's stuff.
Gratis. No charge. Zip. Buy me a coffee sometime if we ever see each other.
Upload it to dropbox.com or your own server and PM me the link. I will be out golfing the remainder of the day and can see how well it goes later this evening.

Old Quark files converted to Unix Executable

I am trying to open an old Quark file saved on a CD from 2004 and it shows up as a Unix Executable file. I changed the suffix to .indd and .qxd and it says "It is missing a plug-in" or InDesign "may not support the file format." Any ideas on how to restore this to a Quark or, preferably, and InDesign file? Thanks!

The Unix icon only shows up if you don't have a copy of QX on your HD if I'm not mistaken. I don't have Quark on my imac and I see the Unix exe icon myself. Bringing the file over to my machine with Q2ID and QX to see if I can open it. Back in a flash.
I'm back. The icon showed up correctly on my other mac but I only have QX6 and file is QX8. I couldn't open the file. Q2ID wouldn't open it either but it's been several years since I updated the plug in. I only have 2 clients with QX and I showed them both how to export to PDF correctly so I don't use QX at all.
So if you buy the most recent Q2ID you should be good to go.

Will InDesign open my Quark files?

Q: Will InDesign open my Quark files?
A: InDesign can open Quark 3 and 4 files. Quark encrypted version 5 and 6 files just so InDesign can't open them. If you can back save these newer Quark files to version 4 they can be opened by InDesign.
If you don't have all versions of Quark to backsave to version 4, Markwarz Q2ID (QuarkXPress to Adobe InDesign) offers users a quick and easy way to convert QuarkXPress content into a new Adobe InDesign document.

Dave, can this be made sticky?

An EPS caution for imported XPress docs
InDesign 3 (CS1) has a bug that was never fixed which turns on the non-printing attribute for random EPS graphics in an imported XPress doc. You can spot these graphics in Overprint Preview mode and you can use the Attributes palette to fix them individually. Dave Saunders also wrote a nice script that will turn off the Non-Printing Attribute for every graphic in the document (ie, make *everything* print).
//DESCRIPTION: Uncheck ALL nonprinting attributes checkboxes
//Script Author: Dave Saunders
if (app.documents.length != 0) {
myGraphs = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
myLim = myGraphs.length;
for (i = 0; myLim > i; i++) {
myGraphs[i].nonprinting = false
myPIs = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;
myLim = myPIs.length;
for (i = 0; myLim > i; i++) {
myPIs[i].nonprinting = false
Theoretically, this bug has been fixed in ID4.

Converting Quark to InDesign

reference InDesign 10.5.6:
I have some old Quark files in 4.01 that I need to access, can I save them as editable pdfs and if so, further open these editable pdfs in InDesign? Or, is there some other way to convert these files without having to recreate from scratch?

> have some old Quark files in 4.01 that I need to access
InDesign can open Quark 4.01 files.
There will be some text reflow, but they do open.

Can I convert Quark 7 to Indesign without plugin Q2ID?

I need one Quark file (Quark 7) converted to Indesign CS3, is there a way that I can do this without the Plugin Q2ID? Thanks for your help.

Kathlene,
My post wast't directed specifically at you as much as meant to be a clarification of the rules. Someone (perhaps you) said they knew people who used the software to convert files for other users. I just wanted to make sure future readers would understand the difference between using Q2ID as part of the normal get-a-file/convert/work-with-file/return-new-file-to-client workflow and offering an I'll-convert-your-files-for-you-so-you-don't-have-to-buy-a-copy service.

Problem after converting Quark to indesign

Hi Forum,
this is related question to my previous one.
After Quark is converted to indesign, I have problems on special characters converted to Outlines and overprint applied.
I tried to remove it many ways (as i have requested in my earlier post, for contentType.unassigned)...
How to solve this out.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

Acrobat 9 Pro converting multimedia files in PDF Portfolio

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and it says that it can convert multimedia files in a PDF portfolio
but when I try to convert wmv files in gives me a conversion error. The user's guide clearly outlines that this program can convert multimedia files - MOV, AVI and WMV files to PDF files within a PDF Portfolio. Am I missing something? Why won't this work?

You have not indicated what version of AA9 or OS you have. The current version is 9.5.5. You can do updates from the Help menu usually. If that fails, download updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.

In PDF file click on Tools, try to click on Sign In option nothing happens. why can't I sign in to convert my file.

I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

Hi,
Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
Please let me know if that works.
If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.
