I was given old native files and they're quark from '09. Yay!
Anyone out there that can make this into indd or idml? I'll be your best friend :)

did you try this?
https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign…i don't have quark, so i couldn't save it down like they suggest (assuming that is the version the doc. is currently saved in)

All I can do is export as a PDF. Quark 8 doesn't export in any format that InD can open.
wetransfer link for the PDF:

Yeah, the options are limited if it's not a Quark 4.x format, which I know I could import with a custom VM I have with the last version of InDesign that had the importer for that (plus I never had or used Quark after that version).
So you'll need to find someone with a current third-party tool like this one: http://markzware.com/products/q2…
I see some folks offer a $5 conversion service online too, but I have no experience with those.

Is it possible to start from scratch to recreate this document? I was just looking at the pdf and if you have the links in a folder it looks like just some simple type setting and getting a gradient to look right. If you are pretty quick in InDesign it shouldn't be too much effort more than trying to find a conversion.
- i just now realize you may have had no idea what it looked like. I was just tossing out a rushed idea.capn_ron

best i can do is get it back to quirk 5
(i have v7,6,4 & 3 but not 5 which is retarded and annoying)
