QxdOpen a qxd file without quark converterThis forum is about the new 'QuarkXPress Document Converter', first released Oct 10, 2014, and a free download from Quark's website.

Same again for Quark XPress 2015. Select File/ExportLayouts as Projects, export the document as a Quark 10 project, open in Q10 and follow the steps above. The long and the short of it is that you'll be able to convert Quark files to InDesign, but the newer the Quark (QXD) file version, the more hoops you'll have to jump through. As for the QXD files, Quark for the PC will open them without problem (although there can sometimes be, as noted, font and other problems). I suspect that what you really need is not the Quark layout but the individual components of the Quark file - logos, text, images - which they could easily send to you separately.

The newest version is version 1.0, released Sep 8, 2015.

What it is
QuarkXPress Document Converter is a free tool that opens legacy QuarkXPress files from version 3-6 and converts it into the QuarkXPress 9 format. These files can then be opened in QuarkXPress 10 and QuarkXPress 2015. The converter also allows to batch convert legacy files, which QuarkXPress 9 is not able to do.

How it works
  1. Install it (Mac OS X or Windows). It's supported on the same operating systems as QuarkXPress 10.5, so
    • Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)
    • Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
    • Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
    • Windows 8.1
    • Windows 8
    • Windows 7
    (and will probably also run on OS X Lion, OS X Snow Leopard, OS X Leopard, Windows Vista and Windows XP, though they are not supported platforms)
  2. Start it. The spinning wheel indicates that it is loading.
  3. Once started, please either user the left button to choose the single file to be converted. Or use the right button to select a folder (to include subfolders please checkbox to do so), in which all legacy documents will be converted.
  4. Every file that QuarkXPress Document Converter can open, which should be .qxd files, will be opened and converted to the file format 9.1. The resulting file is written into the same directory as the original file and will get the same name plus a '_v9' suffix plus '.qxp'.
What it doesn't do

Qxd File Converter

  • The QuarkXPress Document Converter is not a document repair tool.
  • The QuarkXPress Document Converter is basically a QuarkXPress 9.5.4.1 without user interface. Therefore it will open the same documents that QuarkXPress 9.5.4.1 would open and will save it the same way QuarkXPress 9.5.4.1 would save them.
  • Preferences are stored in your user folder in a folder called 'Quark/QuarkXPress Document Converter/'
