Quark to InDesign Conversion Service
How does it work?
If you'd like to submit your Quark file(s) to us (any version to Quark XPress 8), we will perform a straightforward conversion of the file to InDesign by back-saving your file to Quark version 4, and then importing it into InDesign. Once you have submitted the file to us, we'll carry out the conversion. If successful, we will e-mail a Paypal request for payment (costs shown below), and once payment has been received we will send your converted file back to you. We will endeavour to return the conversion to you within 24 hours (at the most).
If we are unable to open or convert your file for any reason, we will notify you by e-mail and no payment will be requested. No fonts or images should be sent - just the Quark file.
If you'd like to convert the file yourself, there are two options. One is the InDesign CS3 / CS4 plugin Markzware Q2ID, a conversion tool which will import any Quark file into InDesign CS3 or CS4. Option two would be to back-save the file using the Quark to InDesign conversion technique demonstrated here.
If you'd like us to go ahead with your file conversion, please complete this form and we'll take care of it using the latter method. All files and information uploaded will be treated with complete confidentiality.

What do you send to us?
- PLEASE ONLY SEND US THE QUARK FILE. We don't need the fonts and images.
- Please ensure that no images are embedded, and they are all linked to external files.
- Please compress the file as either a .zip or a .sit before attaching it to this form.
- If the files are too large to send on this form, please send the form with no files attached and we will send you the details of our FTP server.
What do we send back to you?
Our service only includes converting the document format from Quark to InDesign.
It does not include any page makeup, style or format alterations or layout work of any kind. Once we have converted the file you will need to make the inevitable adjustments to any elements within the document which do not match the original layout. If you require a perfect InDesign copy of the Quark original from us, please don't complete this form. All files will need post-conversion work of some kind.
