How to Convert a QuarkXpress Document to InDesign
QuarkXpress and Adobe InDesign are two layout programs used for desktop publishing. Often, they are used to produce books, pamphlets, brochures and other print materials. Many of the features in each software program are similar, but each also has its differences. PDF files can be easily created with InDesign because both programs were created by Adobe. There's an easy way to transfer your QuarkXpress document to InDesign if you want to use its specific features or convert a file to PDF quickly.
