How do I begin the File Recovery Process?

Follow the 5 easy steps below

Step 1

Agree to and pay the non-refundable In-Take Fee

The In-Take Fee of $49 is a non-refundable fee to analyze the file for recovery. If your bad file is fixed, you will get a preview of the fixed file. You understand that an additional payment is required, as stated below, for Fixed Files. Thus you agree to pay the non-refundable In-Take Fee plus the Fixed File Fee if the file is fixable.

Step 2

Submit the bad file

After paying the In-Take Fee you will receive an email to the submission form. Include as many details as possible on that form and upload the bad file, linked images and fonts are not required.

Step 3

Wait for our response containing the Recovery results

Generally within a few business hours you will receive an email from us explaining the results of the recovery. If recovered, which works about 70% of the time, the email will contain a PDF file previewing what could be recovered. If you are happy with the recovery results, and wish to continue, you can move to Step 4.

Step 4

Pay the additional Fixed File Fee

The email received in Step 3 will contain a link to pay the Fixed File Fee. If you are happy with the recovery results use the link to make the payment.

File SizePrice
500-1000 MB$199
201-500 MB$149
101-200 MB$129
0-100 MB$_99

Step 5

Download the Fixed File

After paying the Fixed File Fee you will receive an email from us containing a link to download the recovered file. Download the recovered file then sit back and relax, having saved countless hours of rework!

“I went to save my file, and poof “InDesign has quit unexpectedly” … upon restart I found the file was corrupt and would crash my InDesign application every time I attempted to open it. David at Markzware responded quickly and restored my file to pretty much it’s original “glory”. Worth every penny! Thank you!”

Walk on Water

We were in the early stages of designing a 100-page book—and foolishly hadn’t yet created any backup copies. Unexpectedly the video card in the machine we were using failed while working on the file. The computer would boot but wouldn’t allow us to open any applications. We had our tech diagnose the problem and install a new video card. When we restarted the computer we were we were afraid we had lost the work before the crash. Ha, to be that lucky. What a surprise when every attempt to open the document repeatedly crashed the InDesign program.
At 5:30 that evening we sent our damaged file to Markzware– by the next morning we had a repaired file—that opened with no problem and was entirely editable.
Yes– we believe in miracles. These guys might even be able to walk on water.
Thank you Markzware.

Quick and clean: they saved my work!

They saved my work! Nobody could help me until I tried the File Recovery process. It was very quick, clear, and I got back almost 100% of my work. The guy is very cool, it's an early Christmas miracle ;)
Thanks again!

Saved the day

We had a very important file to get out to a prospective client, that was corrupted the day we needed it. Our file was recovered in record time! Great service. Highly recommended.

Excellent

Markzware was able to help recover a corrupt INDD file within a single business day. I essentially had to just pay the fee and the file arrived the following day. I had done a lot of research and was unable to find a similar service anywhere online. Highly recommended!

I would like to double my 5 stars.
Thank you soooooooo much this was insanely helpful!
You made my day, my week, my month – seriously!

Adobe got back to me saying the file was irreparable.
I was contacting the repair service of them, too.

Markzware proved them wrong :-D
I can’t thank you enough, you are amazing!

Life saver!

I was stuck with a deadline on my project when my file got interrupted abruptly. I always make backup file and I did now, but that one was saved 3 days before and I didn't have enough time to start from there again. Markzware saved my life. Everything was done with them in one day. It was a bit expensive for me (because I'm from Serbia, so I had to pay 25% off my salary) but when you need it, you need it, pay it because it works! I would do it again. Thanks!

Very fast, professional support

I only regret as I didn’t do it months earlier. I had a corrupt InDesign file and tried everything even sending it to Adobe support. I wasted months trying to fix it myself.. thank you again for your help! You saved my 400mb, 40 page, illustrated book.

Saved my project!

I was hit with the dreaded Error Code 6, but instead of losing one file, the entire save and recovery directory was corrupted, and the Creative Cloud save was bugged.



In the midst of panicked all-nighter trying to save the work, trying every troubleshooting method I could find and sending my files to Adobe for recovery, I purchased IDMarkz, but it unfortunately wasn't compatible with my project. I reached out for the file recovery service and Markzware refunded the IDMarkz cost and then was able to recover the majority of the project (in the middle of the night, no less), saving me weeks of work.



I'm absolutely grateful to David, and will continue recommending the service to everyone who unfortunately is forced to use InDesign.



P.S. Weeks later Adobe finally got back to me and said the project was "completely irrecoverable". 😂

best service and ability!

It was the worst file corruption.

I thought it would be difficult to communicate because it was a different country, but I communicated well without any problems. :)

I gave up because I thought it couldn't be recovered after the first disappointing result,
Rather, the engineer did his best.
I was really touched by your help without giving up.
Thank you for the best service and ability!

THIS IS AMAZING..

I was on the verge of tears when the file I had worked on for three days wouldn’t open. I wasn't sure if it was an InDesign issue or a file corruption problem. Then, I came across a review and decided to take a chance and upload my file. To my surprise, within an hour, I received the recovered file. I traded $200 for happiness, but I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you so much!
