ID2Q7 a quick and easy way
XChange International has released the ID2Q7 conversion tool -- a quick and easy way to convert InDesign files into QuarkXPress documents.All elements of the InDesign document, including object positions, colors, text, text attributes, images, etc. are converted in a single operation.
In conjunction with the launch of version 7, XChange is offering a special bundle for a limited time only. Users who purchase a new copy of QuarkXPress 7 will receive a free copy of ID2Q7, and users upgrading to QuarkXPress 7 from version 3.6 can receive a discount of more than 65% off the original price of ID2Q7.
The special offers are valid until 30 September, 2006.
ID2Q7 allows you to select several conversion options and convert your files in a few easy steps. ID2Q7 also converts cross-platform files, converting Windows InDesign files to Macintosh QuarkXPress documents. After installing ID2Q7, users simply select the Convert InDesign Files item from the Utility menu to open an InDesign document. Once open, users are presented with a dialog that includes several options for controlling the document's conversion.
For text, users can choose to import InDesign style sheets, convert styled text to plain text, or remove all text. For pictures/graphics, users can convert with/without previews, or can choose to exclude the pictures and convert only the picture boxes. Hidden layers and objects that are on the pasteboard may be optionally converted as well.
Other features include:
- Support for "runaround on all sides of an object"
- InDesign documents converted to QuarkXPress are now able to have text runaround on all sides of the object
- An ID2Q preference has been added to the QuarkXPress preference menu. This menu gives the user the ability to select the language they would like the ID2Q menu to be displayed in. This preference also allows the user to synchronize the language displayed on ID2Q with the language of the operating system
