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 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 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.

With Automation Preferences, AppleScript support and Custom URL Scheme, IDMarkz will have no problem integrating into most automation workflows.

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.

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!
I got IDMarkz, as my next MacBookPro update will no longer support my old CS6 InDesign, which I've depended upon to open my old CS6 InDesign files to save them as .idml files and then open in Affinity Publisher; this now works directly through IDMarkz without InDesign CS6, which is absolutely brilliant. I have a lot of old client files I need to have access to, when they come for updates.
I’ve encountered some odd mistakes, such as guideline grids not starting at the same positions or partially transparent background areas showing up as 100% opacity rather than the percentage they were set in InDesign. Not sure if this is an IDMarkz or an .idml file challenge, but the transfer is very good, if sadly not perfect. My challenge will be, that I will not have the original InDesign file available much longer as reference and a PDF will not give me opacity percentages for example, so some transfers will have to be checked very carefully.
Worth every penny. I had tons of files in InDesign format but refused to upgrade to their subscription model. Affinity Publisher is a great replacement and IDMarkz allowed me to move without losing a single file.
The perfect way to access my InDesign files with Publisher. Thank you Markzware!
So excited to have my InDesign CS6 files converted to IDML and Publisher. IDMarkz has saved me so much money, time, and energy. Thank you so much for making this product that works perfectly.
Thanks to IDMarkz I finally was able to be freed from the Adobe subscription plan! After having multiple issues trying to open InDesign files between subscription versions and CS6 and ultimately having CS6 lose functionality with Catalina, I now can convert as necessary, and eventually move all of my InDesign files to Affinity Publisher with ease.
Have been using the final release, great job! It’s already saved my bacon, I needed to open my CV, and it was in CC and IDMarkz saved the day. Within a minute, I was editing it in CS6!
Amazingly simple. Wow! Very clever, how Affinity Publisher already is integrated. But also QuarkXPress, and other Adobe products, InDesign files, Drag-and-drop…I’m impressed!
