Often, users have expressed that they need a quick InDesign previewer, not always a full-blown editor. Some have owned InDesign in the past, others receive INDD (or INDT, InDesign Template) files from colleagues from time to time. Well, we heard you and are happy to announce a fast and affordable solution!
The previews are based on the internal document data, so there is no need to save the document with previews embedded. The displayed preview is representative of the original document and the text is crisp and zoomable.
IDMarkz enables you to export InDesign files to numerous non-proprietary file types, including IDML, PDF, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, and GIF. Open .INDD and .INDT (InDesign Template) files in an earlier version of InDesign or in another application!
Export an InDesign file to high-quality PDF, via IDMarkz, without Adobe InDesign. Add annotations, markups, and comments, in Acrobat, and import the editing marks back into InDesign.

Further simplify the process, by configuring the Automation Preferences, to automatically export and open the file in your chosen application. Double click an INDD file in Finder and the document will open in QuarkXPress*, Affinity Publisher, InDesign CS6, or another application of your choice.
With Automation Preferences, AppleScript support and Custom URL Scheme, IDMarkz will have no problem integrating into most automation workflows.

The document inspector view gives a high-level document summary, with file type, version, size, creation date, modification date, page count, spread count, page size, font, color, and image data..
Markzware has long been known for our conversion plug-ins and XTensions, but we’ve outdone ourselves, with a standalone conversion and preview application. With over three decades of software development experience in the preview and conversion of Desktop Publishing files, Markzware offers a standalone application, to help you more easily process files in today’s DTP workflows.
View document previews from any Finder window, with the push of the spacebar. This is a quick and easy method, to find the specific file you are looking for, if you do not remember exactly what you named it.
Optionally, turn on thumbnail previews, from the IDMarkz preferences, and view thumbnail previews, in any Finder window. This option will replace the default InDesign file icon with a preview of the first page of the document.
You can get a download that lets you use the IDMarkz preview feature, for free! This freebie is a great tool for viewing InDesign documents, at no cost.
The exporting features can be enabled at any time with the purchase of a license.

One of my customers had a problem with a corrupted indesign document - no chance to open it in indesign and no backup file.
With IDMarkz i was able to export the document to .idml and after that we could work in indesign again.
Great success
Very useful for getting previews of InDesign files. Exactly what I needed.
Excellent program! Accurately converts Adobe InDesign to Affinity Publisher.
Does what it promises and even works with InDesign 2021 files.
Thanks a lot!
This program saves me so much time and headache. It runs efficiently, is easy to use, and the support staff is very attentive.
While working on the manual for the Job Contender we found out we could no longer open some older important InDesign files. Because of a very tight budget, we moved away from Adobe software to more affordable Apps. A graphic designer pointed us in the right direction. His recommendation was Markzware, a leading software publisher.
Markzware’s program IDMarkz saved us because we were able to open all our InDesign documents, convert them to PDF, and make the deadline. The process is very easy. Just drag & drop your document and you are ready to edit in InDesign CS6.
Extremely easy to use! I tested it by translating complex InDesign files into Affinity Publisher, which included a form with lots of rules and tabbed text columns, our business stationery and brochures, and a book of almost 100 pages! Everything was translated spot on perfect and were as fully editable as the original files, although in some cases fonts were substituted with very close equivalents, and Zapf Dingbats needed tweaking. In one case, a tiff of a signature was slightly out of position but was easily nudged back into place. The alternative to this software would have been for me to open and then export thousands of InDesign files in a different format, which would have taken me MONTHS! Using this translation software is a HUGE time saver!
I used Markzware Flightcheck for many years. Purchased both IDMarkz and QXPMarkz as a safety net. I am a one-man design shop in a rather busy company, and we have IND files going back 15 years. Like so many people fed-up with Adobe we stuck with CS6 for years, until Adobe blocked our seriel number from re-installing. Went with both Quark and Affinity Designer. Now, the new boss said we should subscribe to Creative Cloud so we dont fall too far behind. This left me with documents in virtually every format!!
So far Markzware has made it easy to convert back and forth, with very little reflow/rebuild issues. WAY BETTER than rebuilding every file from scratch. No matter which format the boss wants, or the printer needs, I can accomodate with minimal disruption.
When I retired I could no longer afford Adobe, and after years of using old copies it ran out when my Apple OS sudenly would no longer allow me to even open an Adobe product, except the basic Acrobat reader. So what do you do. I found the AFFINITY suite and found just as good for me, though the learning curve was not really smooth. But the how do I open the old Adobe stuff. Again I lucked out in finding IDMarkz. Though I have just got it, I consider it wonderful, especially for opening old Adobe files I thought I would never get to see again.
Saved us from a full day of work being lost and a Saturday being down the drain. So grateful this exists -- we were out of options here!
