Markzware ID Util now in a new version 2


17. April 2018In PublishingBy Karsten Risseeuw1 Minutes

Markzware has a small InDesign utility that can be obtained free of charge from the Apple App Store. ID Util received a new edition and is now available in version 2.

What can ID Util do? The tool works with InDesign, IDML and InCopy files. It can show a preview of these files and extract the text in no time at all. This is particularly useful when no InDesign version is available.

Further highlights:

  • Export of thumbnail previews
  • Export of text
  • List of all pictures
  • List of all fonts
  • QuickLook previews of all InDesign documents in the Finder (!)
  • Show the InDesign version with which the document was created
  • etc.

Where can the ID Util be used well?

For example, the tool can be used to set high-resolution preview files for any documents on every workstation where InDesign is installed. These can also be exported directly, for example to preview the InDesign document. It is also particularly helpful that with ID Util a simple preview with the Quick Look function is available in the Finder. Simply select the file and activate the preview function with the space bar.

At workstations where InDesign is not installed, the text can be extracted with the help of ID Util and exported in various formats.
