Anyone have Quark2Id plugin that would be willing to convert a catalog for us? Just checking in case we go that route instead of dining on the vomit of last year's (and the several years preceding) Quack nightmare. Trying to get some excel we can suck into indy using Grep styles to redo this massive price list.
Yeah, I got it. I'd be happy to. Let me know.

cool, thanks I'll see what happens.
I have it in CS3.
not sure if there are Grep styles in cs3 but it wouldn't matter, we can always upsave it to any of the other 4 versions we have installed.
Anybody have this?
I don't. Sorry.
That's ok the file is a mess, bunch of spaces and what not :laugh:
I don't think I even want to attempt the transfer, but then again
I have never used quark to indesign.
I think it's also moved to a subscription instead of a purchase. Wish I'd gotten it when it was just a flat rate. Every so often the owner makes noises about upgrading to CC, but he won't believe that you can't just convert a Quark document with something from Adobe.
InDesign used to be able to import Quark 4 files. Not sure if it still can or not.
Probably, but even my files aren't that old.
Well if you owned Quark 2016 you could back save to Quark 2015.
Then if you owned Quark 2015 you could back save to Quark 10.
Then if you owned Quark 10 you could back save to Quark 9.
Then if you owned Quark 9 you could back save to Quark 8.
Then if you owned Quark 8 you could back save to Quark 7.
Then if you owned Quark 7 you could back save to Quark 6.
Then if you owned Quark 6 you could back save to Quark 5.
Then if you owned Quark 5 you could back save to Quark 4.
Then you could open it in InDesign....if it will still open a Quark 4 file! :rotf:
I saw online where you can pay 7$ to get it converted, which is pretty good.
but giving a stranger our customer files, not so good.

Yeah, I wouldn't wish that on people I hate, much less a stranger.

How urgent Tracy. I have it, but we're on 10.6.8. Older everything. If you wanna send a ZIP's folder with the quack in it...I'll see if I can do it.
I'll PM my webmail.
Thought I had it installed, but realised the last time was on the G5. However...popped the install disk in; it's now workable, but on ID 5.5.
Been a lo-o-ong time since I needed it. I think OZ were the spearhead 'unadopters' of Quack.
Now appearing in the menu under Markzware
I already did the edits in quark, I had to learn quark all over again :laugh:
It's a long document.
The owners think if it's done on a computer, it's simple. Hell, they can email and post to facebook, what's so different about what we do?
Right! I miss the old days when we we wizards.
We still are wizards, they just think they have peeked behind the curtain and think they know the secrets.
No my sweet little summer children, you know nothing.
Like when the boss got all weirded out when I told him his phone automatically backs up all his contacts. He started saying how that's impossible, it's illegal, they can't do that...
I didn't have the heart to mention the GPS part or facebooks use of it.
they are so cute when they are young and innocent like that...

De-skilling is across the board, and relentless. We had a guy here (stripper, we call 'em film planners), who was 'not interested in sitting behind a computer all day'. Which made it easy as we'd hired someone with Quack/PostScript/PREPS environment skills to come in and help us make the transition. (I shan't say anything about her here...litigation 'n all).
He went off to drive government suburban buses. They're now tooling with driverless, on a small scale.
