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!
Previews are based on the internal document data, so there’s no need to save the document with previews embedded. The displayed preview is representative of the original document and 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 the Adobe InDesign application. Add annotations, markups, and comments, in Acrobat, and import the editing marks back into InDesign.

What is the difference between Perpetual and Subscription Licenses
IDMarkz is designed to make complex tasks quick and easy. Preview your document, then, with a single click, open the file in QuarkXPress*, Affinity Publisher, an older version of InDesign, other pre-defined applications, or define your own.
![IDMarkz Toolbar [Dark Theme]](https://markzware.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/idmarkz-toolbardark.png)
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.
![Document Inspector [Dark Mode]](https://markzware.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/document_inspectordark.png)
The document inspector 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.
With over 30 years of software development experience in Desktop Publishing, Markzware offers a standalone file preview and conversion application, to help you more easily process files in today’s modern Desktop Publishing 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.

Wonderful tool, does everything I needed 🙂 Easy to download and easy to use. Thank you so much, this will make my life so much easier!
Markzware ROCKS!!!!
I'm obviously not the only one who is sick of being forced to work around Adobe's constant attempts to screw more cash out of users who have supported their products for DECADES already. Well, I would prefer to give my money and support to third-party software developers like Markzware, who are actually committed to providing products that HELP their customers. Their products are excellent, and the support is absolutely fantastic too.
Love it!
I recently purchased IDMARKZ because I am running an older Mac and found out I can no longer upgrade to the most recent versions of Adobe Cloud products without replacing my perfectly good iMac. I have started getting files in the higher version of InDesign, and I hated to have to go back to the customer to ask them to save it back a version if they didn't include an .idml file when they packaged it. It's a great product and I wish I had gotten it sooner!
Started using IDMarkz a few years ago. Best purchase made. Well worth it. Converts files to various Applications. Quark files to InDesign in seconds.
I purchased IDMarkz to help in my transition process from ID to Affinity Publisher. When I first used the package I noticed some serious bugs, so I reported it to their tech support who then corrected the initial issues and released two or three updates in the process. I've been very impressed with the package and support I've received thus far.
Been using Markware products for many, many years and as a foreign language typesetter working in 85 languages your products have been of invaluable assistance in getting projects completed.
I have been using this for years. We do not get many Cloud versions here, but this always opens them up. Markz has kept us from needing to upgrade to the cloud version of Adobe.
First of all, thank you for this very functional add-on — I always use it in my daily workflow. As far as I remember I was able to hit space bar and be able to preview indds in the past but now it seems like I first need to run the app and then be able to (drag or simply hit space bar) preview the indds. Is this a new thing or am I doing something wrong? I thought when installed it installs itself into the system and that way I don't have to run the app every time I need previewing indesign files.
I only need the free version as I have many old ID documents that I want to look at but not modify. I use other things for page layout now. ID is just too expensive.
The prog works very well indeed and opens far quicker than ID ever did. Full marks!
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
