This week Markzware has completed its line of conversion solutions. All data conversion software solutions are now available for Mac and Windows.

Conversion of publishing documents

Markzware conversion solutions shine in prepress. The major publishing platforms all come with dedicated document formats. Markzware products convert InDesign documents to Affinity Publisher, or QuarkXPress documents to InDesign, for example. PDF documents can also be converted and turned into editable documents.

  • IDMarkz: Converts INDD documents
  • QXPMarkz: Converts QXP documents
  • PDF Markz: Converts PDF documents
  • OmniMarkz: Converts INDD, QXP and PDF documents (the all-rounder)

For these conversions, Markzware has developed its own new technology, called the MarkzOne engine. All products work with this engine, which does not require any other publishing software installed to perform conversions. This makes you completely independent of other licenses. The conversion solutions can therefore also be used without any problems in work preparation.

For example, if you have an archive of older INDD documents from InDesign, but you don’t have an active subscription to Creative Cloud, you won’t be able to open the documents. However, IDMarkz or OmniMarkz can be used to quickly and reliably convert INDD documents to QuarkXPress or Affinity Publisher, output them as image files, or check them for various characteristics.

Accordingly, the current products provide Mac and Windows users with good solutions for everyday digital life, allowing digital documents to be saved in other formats. This is comparable to the transfer of old typesetting to a new structure.

Convert InDesign documents without InDesign


14. January 2022In NewsBy Karsten Risseeuw2 Minutes

Markzware conversion tools have proven themselves for many years. The switch from plug-ins to stand-alone software products has been completed. The only downer was the lack of Windows programs. IDMarkz, for example, was only available for Mac, not Windows. That is now changing with IDMarkz SE.

The key to converting InDesign documents

Markzware has just released IDMarkz SE, a Windows version of the popular IDMarkz for Mac. Windows development is new and the products are not quite the same in functionality. That is probably why there are now different versions for Mac and Windows.

IDMarkz SE converts INDD and INDT files from InDesign to IDML in no time at all. The IDML format is not only suitable for opening newer InDesign documents, for example in older InDesign versions. An IDML import is also supported by Affinity Publisher or QuarkXPress. This means that documents can also be transferred to other publishing platforms.

The conversion is easy. It doesn’t even need InDesign installed for this software to work. IDMarkz SE is a stand-alone software solution and opens InDesign files directly. The conversion to IDML takes place in no time and the result can be viewed in a preview window. There you can – as with the Mac version – scroll through the pages and get an approximate representation. In addition, the elements of the file, such as images or fonts, are evaluated and summarized as information.

From the preview, the IDML document can now be opened in various other programs. These include InDesign, XPress and Affinity Publisher.

In contrast to the Mac version, however, various other export options cannot be used at the moment. For example, there is no way to export the IDML file to JPEG, TIFF or other image formats. It is still unclear whether this functionality will be implemented in the future. The software is under development and Markzware limits itself to well-functioning solutions.

Shop IDMarkz SE

Windows users can now purchase IDMarkz SE at Kursiv. You can choose between an endless license without updates or a cheaper annual license including updates.

The software company Markzware reacts to the current world situation by providing its latest product “IDMarkz” free of charge. For this purpose, the manufacturer has issued a special license with a limited validity until the end of May 2020. IDMarkz is a prepress conversion software that can convert InDesign documents (INDD) into a selection of other formats – perfect for anyone working with older InDesign versions or other layout programs.

Markzware became known for its professional prepress solutions. Conversion solutions for InDesign and XPress have been particularly successful in recent years. The latest product is IDMarkz, a standalone software for converting native InDesign documents. With this software, original InDesign documents can be converted even if no InDesign is available.

Download and access data

IDMarkz can be downloaded and activated without registration. So there is absolutely no reason not to try the software.

Step 2

After downloading, the software can be unlocked with the following information:

Software valid until the end of May 2020

This version of IDMarkz corresponds to the full version. It will automatically expire at the end of May 2020. If you work with InDesign today or have to convert files from InDesign to another InDesign version or to another document format, this is the perfect opportunity.
