Need a fast way to locate a particular document you are seeking, when you can’t quite recall the filename? You can view document previews from any Finder window, just by pushing your computer’s spacebar. If you prefer, you can enable thumbnail previews, via the ID Util preferences interface. Then, you can view thumbnail previews in any of your Finder windows.
Features vary in InDesign-compatible layout applications. So if you need to see and output InDesign previews, Markzware’s free ID Util application is a great and versatile tool to have on hand.
Glad to see CC2018 Support
The free functionality of this utility is great for adding quickview support to my InDesign files. The update supporting CC2018 will make it easier for us to update our files with the HD res preview. I know max-resolution previews embedded can add some bloat to the InDesign files, but it’s been a huge boost while collaborating with my non-InDesign using peers. Project managers love that they can “peek” at a file’s content without asking me to open the file for them (I try not to take that personally). I only wish there was a way to batch update my files to have the HD preview embedded on older files without also updating the InDesign version. Thanks, Markzware!
