David Creamer has reviewed Markzware’s document conversion tool, Q2ID v4 in the current issue of “Layers Magazine.”
FROM QUARK TO INDESIGN IN A SNAP
The main focus of Q2ID v4 is to support InDesign CS4 and QuarkXPress 8 files. One important thing that’s changed in this version is the updated conversion notes PDF, which now lists most of the conversion issues you might encounter. Another change is that you can use either the InDesign Open menu or the new Markzware menu. Quark files with multiple layouts can be converted individually or all at once; multiple Quark files can be converted, too.
This version appears to fix most of the issues I noted in the last version, including keeping the proper based-on settings, better translations of Quark’s transparency effects into InDesign (with one major exception noted below), and better layer translation between programs.
It was an honor to get to film this interview between Mary Gay Marchese (PR; Markzware) and Anne-Marie Concepcion, InDesign expert, InDesignSecrets.com co-founder and author. She tells an incredible story about how Q2ID (Markzware’s QuarkXPress to Adobe InDesign conversion plugin) saves her literally DAYS worth of time on just one document! Check it out here:
