In the eventuality that you are working in the publishing business, then there is a good chance that you are using the Adobe InDesign to create professionally looking layouts ready for printing. However, if you are part of a new team or are involved in a project where the main tool is QuarkXPress, then you might be on the lookout for a converter.

ID2Q is a light piece of software that enables you to convert the files you worked on in Adobe InDesign to QuarkXPress file formats. You can rest assured that the utility preserves the intricate details you spent hours on designing during the conversion, despite the fact that the files are reconstructed during the process.

To be more precise, the tool recreates the exact parameters you used for designing the details for your projects, meaning the page positioning, fonts, styles, images, text attributes, blends, layers, tables, runarounds, colors, anchor boxes or linked text boxes.

It is necessary to mention that the program requires you have QuarkXPress installed on your computer, as you can only access it via the application. You can find the plugin along with its options and settings by accessing the Utilities menu from the host program and convert files immediately.

In case you need to convert files to CS3 or Q4 file formats, but do not want to spend hours of scanning, formatting and re-mapping metadata, then perhaps ID2Q might be worth a try.
