can I get the qidf file from its quad file?

I've lost the qidf file I used to create its quad file. Can I reverse the process, ie re-create the qidf file from the quad file?
Thanks!

No, there are a number of locked down scripts/functions that translate all the human readable input values from the .qdif file and turn it into something the print driver can understand. There is really no way to reverse engineer it based on what is in the .quad files.
You can look at the curve view of the .quad and see what the actual ink limits are for each channel, but they will differ from what was set in the .qdif because their is a function that takes into account the overlap of the next darker/lighter shades, and the grey gamma and the linearization.
