OmniMarkz® is a powerful combination of Markzware’s three popular conversion tools. QXPMarkz, IDMarkz, and PDFMarkz are now combined, along with a complete File Inventory reporting feature. With OmniMarkz, you can now Preview, Report, and convert QuarkXPress, InDesign, and PDF documents all via a single stand-alone application.
OmniMarkz enables users to capture file inventory and convert Adobe InDesign 2022 through CS4, QuarkXPress 2021 through QuarkXPress 3, and PDF documents to many other DTP file formats! Conversion possibilities include:
PDF to InDesign • InDesign to Affinity Publisher • QuarkXPress to InDesign •
Illustrator to InDesign • InDesign to IDML (lower versions of InDesign) • And much more
Often, users have expressed that they need a quick previewer, not always a full-blown editor. Well, we heard you and are pleased to announce a fast and affordable solution! Preview InDesign, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and PDF documents in a single application.
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.
Now you can get a complete File Inventory of your document, exclusively in OmniMarkz! Experience a deep scan, like an X-ray, of your Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and PDF files! You will see detailed information on all used pages, colors, fonts, images, and more! Plus full File inventory reporting!
Markzware has long been known for file conversion and preflight technology. Now we take it a step or two further, with our standalone Preview, File Inventory, and Conversion application, OmniMarkz!
OmniMarkz enables you to export InDesign, QuarkXPress, and PDF files to numerous non-proprietary file types, including IDML, PDF, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, and GIF. Open .INDD, .QXP, and .PDF files in many DTP applications!
Export QuarkXPress, InDesign, and PDF text stories as RTF, HTML, or plain-text (TXT). This is very useful if you need to re-purpose the content of a file but not the layout. Text formatting is maintained in the exported content.
What is the difference between Perpetual and Subscription Licenses
OmniMarkz is designed to make complex tasks quick and easy. Preview your document, then, with a single click, open the file in QuarkXPress, Affinity Publisher, InDesign, other pre-defined applications, or define your own.
Further simplify the process, by configuring the Automation Preferences, to automatically export and open the file in your chosen application. Double click an INDD, QXP, or PDF file in Finder and the document will convert and open in QuarkXPress, Affinity Publisher, InDesign, or another application of your choice.
With Automation Preferences, AppleScript support, and Custom URL Scheme, OmniMarkz will have no problem integrating into most automation workflows.
Users who are familiar with our Q2ID InDesign Plug-Ins appreciate the ease of converting QuarkXPress documents, directly, within InDesign. OmniMarkz comes with the same type of integration, allowing users to choose “Open QuarkXPress File…” right from the InDesign File menu. The selected document will be converted by OmniMarkz and opened in InDesign, automating the entire QuarkXPress-to-InDesign file conversion process.

My personal Odyssey...
I very recently discovered the YouTube video of you and Laurie Ruhlin discussing QXPMarkz. I have been searching off and on for 15 years for something that could allow me to access long ago (early 2000's) work products that were primarily Quark and Illustrator files. I am more than delighted to find out that the software does just what I was looking for. I had done a Google search to see if Adobe InDesign could open Quark files. That is how I found out about the wonderful product(s) you offer. Naturally, I bought an annual license. It takes a while to go through 20 years of work products...
I really love this product. All the designers have me convert different programs to InDesign for them. It does what it needs to do to save us a lot of time redoing a piece.
So I’m writing a book, 300+ pages, image heavy. Softwares are dying on me, but I got to finally send the manuscript in a pdf format to the interior designer. Then I got the news that he can’t get it load properly into InDesign. We both freak out, given I have 250+ images and dozens of other special content that are not loading right. There is no way I’m touching that manuscript again. Haha. So my husband did a quick search and we saw a video about OmniMarkz. I knew in that instant it’ll be my life and time saver. So I spent $300 on the software and voila. Converting the pdf into InDD took about 5 seconds LMAO. Then I got to take a look at all the contents by type, fonts I used, whatnot. Very handy even for someone with zero editing skills in InDD. So I click save, then send the thing to the designer. He calls me back and ask how the heck did I do that THAT fast. It’s perfect, just as it is supposed to be. I laugh and happily explain the best $300 I’ve ever spent on the book. Haha. I bet he’ll be a future customer if he isn’t already. The project stayed on time, the software saved insane work for us all, totally worth the price. I cannot recommend it enough. It’s not something you cannot afford, but something you cannot not afford.
We have a large back catalog of Quark files that we working through to convert to InDesign as we reprint each book. Omnimarkz makes the conversion process just a simple drag-and-drop effort that takes very little time and the InDesign file is very usable with few if any corrections needed. I wish more software worked this well with Creative Suite, especially when it handles the yearly versions of Creative Suite with ease.
OmniMarkz is a fantastic expansion of Q2ID (QXPMarkz). Not only am I able to continue to eradicate Quark from my archives, but it has also already rescued a couple of corrupted InDesign files. That alone is worth the price, but the additional capabilities with Illustrator and PDF really make this is an essential print production tool.
I often receive files from clients that are in Illustrator format or PDF, that then need to be converted to InDesign and prepped properly for printing. With this tool, what would be hours of work rebuilding/resizing etc... can be finished in just a few minutes. It's now a critical part of our business' workflow.
I can't say enough of how much productivity this software adds to my workflow in so many ways!! It is a must have for any pre-press house or designer. For converting PDFs to InDesign, fixing corrupt or bad InDesign/IDML documents, converting old Quark documents, and the occasional converting a CANVA to InDesign, and more!! All in one application! A real life saver. Exporting to lots of different application versions and options!
I have been using Markzware products for over three years. These products have been a lifesaver as many of my clients have lost or destroyed files and i have been able open and recreate them with little or no time whatsoever. A very handy tool in my graphic design toolbox.
