IDMarkz opens InDesign documents, offers a preview of all pages and several export options.

Markzware’s technology for converting various document formats has proven itself over the years. There are plug-ins for InDesign for importing PDF or XPRess documents. Even complex documents can be converted to InDesign in next to no time.

IDMarkz now works the other way. Any InDesign documents (INDD) can be opened with IDMarkz. IDMarkz is a standalone software (not a plug-in). InDesign documents can be opened in no time and even a preview of all pages is generated. This allows you to scroll quickly through a document and some information about the document offer something like simple preflighting.

The InDesign document can then be exported in a variety of other formats. The export formats include: IDML, PDF, XPRESS and various image formats.

If you don’t have InDesign, you can still convert documents, for example to XPress, Affinity Publisher or IDML for use with Viva Designer, older InDesign versions, etc.

From Adobe InDesign to Affinity Publisher

Adobe locks customers in a subscription system. If you no longer have InDesign, you can no longer open InDesign documents. Of course, this strategy annoys many customers. Adobe is at the same point as QuarkXPress once was. Many are wondering how things will continue?

IDMarkz gives users the freedom to determine for themselves which software is the right one. Even complex documents can be converted to various other formats very quickly and easily. This also includes an export option for the newcomer Affinity Publisher. It works like this: Affinity Publisher currently officially supports PDF as an import format. It works very well. IDML is also offered in the current beta version. So if you still have InDesign, you can convert documents in InDesign to IDML and then open them in Affinity.

The situation is not that simple for long-time users of InDesign. Often there are hundreds of customer documents. Not everyone can and would like to preventively export all documents to PDF and IDML. With IDMarkz this is no longer necessary. Native InDesign documents can be converted directly to PDF and IDML.

For Affinity Publisher it works like this: Open the INDD document in IDMarkz. Export to Affinity Publisher. Finished! Affinity Publisher will start automatically and the converted file will open.

Export to image files

IDMarkz also offers various export options according to image formats. InDesign no longer needs to be present just to generate a preview file or to generate image files for the website. IDMarkz does it in no time.
