Fix Corrupt InDesign Files and Save 2-3 Weeks of Work
Markzware InDesign recovery service can fix corrupt InDesign files and recover InDesign, as John Gregory of Focus On The Family describes.
What happens when you are working hard on an Adobe InDesign project that has taken several weeks to complete, and then, all of a sudden, the dreaded worst scenario happens to you and your file is ‘kaput?’ Yes, that’s right, ‘kaput,’ to borrow an old phrase used by my grandparents. Argh, a corrupt InDesign file.
Well this happened to John Gregory, director of media & communications marketing with Focus On The Family. In Gregory’s present role, it isn’t often that he works with Adobe InDesign CS4, but still he didn’t expect for his file to disappear. Gregory’s file basically went bad or became corrupt InDesign, seemingly without any apparent rhyme or reason.
In desperate need to find something that could recover InDesign and resolve this huge problem, Gregory scoured the Web for an InDesign recovery solution and ran across several forum entries referencing Markzware, makers of PageZephyr, ID2Q, Q2ID, and more software for printing and publishing. His discovery led him to a service that Markzware provides to fix corrupt InDesign files.
Once Gregory contacted Markzware they were able to use their skills to recover InDesign with this special service to fix corrupt InDesign files. Gregory was pleased to find out that the quality of the InDesign recovery was “95% with only having to do some minor settings, links and fonts that needed adjusting once the file had been repaired. I have no idea how they were able to fix this, but it worked all within 24 hours of contacting them.”

Hello Matthias,
Thank you for your post. We are working on Adobe CS5 support for ID2Q (InDesign to Quark XTension), which is vital in or recovery process. If you would like to send us your file, they may have time to look at it, but since the product is not complete yet there is no charge or guarantee when we can do this. (I will also try a few things to see if there is any luck in getting it fixed for you.)
Email me on sales AT markzwareDOTcom for upload details.
I have an error code 4 on a cs4 indesign file. It’s completely my fault because I was dragging little images from the web into the file. It’s not large. But it’s at least 600 hours of work. Is there any way you can recover it? I have deleted preference files and tried opening a copy and placing the file into a new one.. Nothing has worked so far.
Hi Lisa, we can try our InDesign Recovery Service on your file, if you like. It costs 99 USD/EUR, but you only pay if the file is 50% or more fixed, which we allow you to be the judge of. Email me on david AT markzware DOT com for the FTP details if you would like to through with this salvage attempt.
