Markzware’s DTP File Recovery Service can open and extract InDesign (and QuarkXPress) data from bad files, to help you regain your content.

How to Use Markzware’s DTP File Recovery Service:
1. Pay the non-refundable File Analysis Fee. (See the DTP File Recovery Service page.)
2. After paying, you will receive a link to our “bad file” submission form.
3. Compress the bad file and submit it (without fonts or images), along with the form.
(To begin the submission process, click the “Start the File Analysis” button on the DTP File Recovery Service page.)
If the service is successful in recovering 50% or more of the document, additional payment is due.

Adobe Systems developed the InDesign layout application, which produces InDesign documents in the INDD file format. With the InDesign application, you can design and print, share or publish artwork for ads, books, ebooks, flyers, magazines, marketing materials, newspapers, posters, presentations, and the like.

Since InDesign offers several inspirational functions to help create attractive designs, it is very popular with graphic designers and other creative professionals. These creative pros tend to invest a lot of money and hours in their InDesign documents, so a corrupt InDesign file can be devastating.

Yes, InDesign file corruption can happen occasionally (due to file issues, malware, operating system failure, customer error, a virus, etc.). However, corruption of an INDD file does not have to mean that all of your investment must be lost.

I was converting an Adobe InDesign file to PDF when suddenly the program crashed. I tried to restart, but it kept crashing as soon as the first page appeared – no recovery, either – and it just crashed again. I tried all sorts of solutions such as cleaning preferences, trying other systems, and a cleaning recovery folder… I did a search on the Internet and discovered a video showing the conversion of Adobe InDesign to QuarkXPress and back to Quark again, solving the problem. That was how I discovered Markzware. The amount of time this service saved me was an entire week of work. Some of the styles and frame size changed, but it was something I would spend 3 hours fixing versus an entire week. The turnaround was amazing! I contacted Markzware on a Saturday, and by Sunday, everything was resolved. I never did bother to contact Adobe, because I felt that they wouldn’t do anything to help me. Thanks, Markzware.

… here’s the work flow for the two files that have gone corrupt.
• Designer creates a new inDesign file (uses linked image files – no “cheap” or corrupt fonts).
• Works on it for 2-3 hours, saving [directly] to the file server. No indication when saving there are problems.
• Opens the file the next day and gets the error message – “file damaged and cannot be repaired”.
The server backs up every night, however in these cases it backs up the same damaged file.
