Markzware’s IDMarkz macOS app can open InDesign files in Affinity Publisher, Acrobat PDF, QuarkXPress, earlier versions of InDesign, as well as export InDesign as IDML, PNG, JPEG, and other common file formats. IDMarkz also has these features: scrolling thumbnail view, preview window, document version display, Drag & Drop file opening, and QuickLook plug-in.

IDMarkz is a stand-alone application, so it does not require additional file conversion tools, to open InDesign documents. It can convert multiple versions of InDesign to Serif’s Affinity Publisher, plus many other document formats.

“… I also note that you have an Export route to the fairly new software … Affinity Publisher. And I suspect quite a lot of designers are tempted to check out an alternative to InDesign and, not least, else who might be not so happy with the Adobe subscription model.
I mean there has been lot of controversy over the years, whether that is reasonably priced. I can’t say. It’s a nice suite of software but, yeah, you are locked into a subscription model. But, anyway, for anyone who wants to look at alternatives, the IDMarkz is a bridge, to convert old legacy documents into other desktop application desktop publishing software. So, quite straight-forward and looked very handy to me.”
