Re: QuarkXPress to FrameMaker
However, QuarkXpress versions newer than 4.1 can save backwards (usually without significant losses). Hence, if you really think conversion to FM format offer sufficient value to you, then you have to face a manual process. Each version of QuarkXPress can only save one version back, so if one only had version 6, one can only save down to version 5. Version 7 files can save down to version 6, but (potentially) with significant losses depending on the features used. However, these loses will not affect the ultimate conversion into FrameMaker, as they are mostly graphic-related. As mentioned, Markzware does make Quark XTs that allow one to save back to earlier versions, but this presumes one has QuarkXPress to begin with. If I recall correctly, QuarkXPress (and PageMaker) conversion was introduced in FrameMaker 7.1. If the Quark document is one long text flow, it might be easier to simply Save Text (export) as a Word or RTF file. Quark always links to graphics (unless someone used the undesired method of copy-and-paste), so you might want to do a Collect For Output first. If you don't have Quark and only have a couple of files, let me know and I'll see if I can convert it to a lower version for you (or export the text).

That makes sense - I was looking up a Quark-MIF solution I recall from a company called Goldwein, and their product page now redirects one to DTPtools page. It appears that DTPtools is a brand under Goldwein, and I presume they enhanced it for bidirectional use.

QuarkXPress to FrameMaker
If you don't want to save Quark to an earlier version, or can't, another option may be to print it out to PDF and save the PDF as RTF. Then import that.

QuarkXPress to FrameMaker
The filter for QuarkXPress import into FrameMaker was hacked from the equivalent InDesign filter and only supports QuarkXPress 3.x and 4.x files. Newer files (5, 6, and 7) cannot be opened in FrameMaker due to the fact that Quark encrypts their version 5, 6, and 7 documents and any software that attempts to break that encryption without permission is breaking the DMCA (the Digital Millenium Copyright Act). - Dov > -Original Message- > From: framers-bounces+isaacs=adobe.com at lists.frameusers.com > [mailto:framers-bounces+isaacs=adobe.com at lists.frameusers.com] > On Behalf Of Art Campbell > Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 8:53 AM > To: Yves Barbion > Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com > Subject: Re: QuarkXPress to FrameMaker > > Windows 7.2 is supposed to support direct import of Quark; not sure > about earlier versions. > Is it not doing something you need? > > Art > > On 4/19/07, Yves Barbion wrote: > > Hi Framers, > > > > I'm looking for a conversion tool to convert QuarkXPress files to > > FrameMaker.

markzware.com makes some Quark conversion filters for 7.x and 6.x, though nothing explicitly to FrameMaker. You might query them. Also, dtptools.com has a MIF->QXP filter; http://www.dtptools.com/product.asp?id=mfqx You might query them about anything that converts in the other direction they may be planning.

From: "Art Campbell"> If you don't want to save Quark to an earlier version, or can't, another option may be to print it out to PDF and save the PDF as RTF. Or just Save RTF (or Word) directly out of Quark. That, I think, will get you styled text. Kenneth Benson Pegasus Type, Inc. www.pegtype.com
