Converting Quark files to Indesign

[chrisio]

Any recommendations for a solution to convert quark to indesign? They won't import directly into indesign as they are to old and I cant get them to open in the demo version of quark that I downloaded.

I dont mind paying a reasonable price for it as we.have stacks of old files after we bought out another printers and now these customers are wanting printing from the old files.

Cheers
Chris

If you don't get a taker here, try posting on Upwork and Fivrr.

Cheers, found that one and will pay the money no problem as it will clearly save us time in the long run - But I am not sure if they will open the quark files I have - no reason to suspect that it wont but you just never know. I have sent them an email with a couple of sample files to hopefully get an answer.

I have used Q2ID frequently in the past. It works well for *MOST* things. The only real issue that I've encountered with consistency related to Style Sheets. If you have a lot of style sheets applied (especially in a multi-page document) they do not always translate properly and the type flow can get sqirrely.

Went with markztools in the end. He kindly converted my test files and shared them with me on a screen cast. Very happy to pay the money!.
