A fantastic product. I can transform PDFs of my clients to InDesign and thus save me many hours of layout.
I had promised to help import and adjust a friend's manuscript into Indesign from Word. It was a mess. I tried several ways and what in the end helped me the most was Markzware. Not perfect - but worth every penny.
It does a fairly decent job of converting pdf files that can be converted...it sure beats having to rebuild a file!
I mean c'mon man, any PDF? Really, into any layout software?! What?! Okay, I'll try it ... wow ... Woweee!! Easily my go-to whenever I have to do conversions, aside from QXPMarkz. Only the most basic of adjustments are usually required to get the document to the exact original, Kerning and Leading usually are the things to check.
My teammate and I were very skeptical of Markzware at first. No way there is a tool out there that can do this. But boy, what a life saver Markzware was! It helped us streamline our workload by 75%. We had to take a bunch of old PDFs that were very design-heavy and update them with new content and layout. Each packet was 20 to 30 pages and not a single InDesign file. This process was taking more than 8 hours per packet, and we had to do 60 packets. To say we were crying was an understatement. Once we found Markzware it saved not only our time and energy but sanity. The process went from hours to seconds for an InDesign file to be created. It not only streamed lined our work but helped combat project burnout.
I had a bunch of PDFs that were originally generated from Adobe Illustrator and this software converted all of them into InDesign files wonderfully.
The MarkZ conversion programs have saved me countless hours of time rebuilding books in InDesign. We have over 30 books that need to be converted from PDF and/or Quark files to InDesign. I don't know what I would have done without it.
For many, many years, our shop has relied on Markzware products, and PDFMarkz is no exception. It continues to be our go-to product in a business that is constantly evolving. We see all sorts of formats, files, concepts through the day, and having PDFMarkz on our team lets us collaborate, build and create easily. Easily, one of our most valuable tools!
The problem and the solution --> We needed to get press-ready professional documents to our outside print company. The mailings are merged with lots of variables that the print company handles. We needed to get the documentation to the print company as an Adobe InDesign document but our in-house marketing designer only uses Canva. PDFMarkz to the rescue! It easily converts the Canva PDF to an InDesign document that can be fully edited. The tech team at PDFMarkz immediately jumped in to help when we were in the process of selecting this product and learning how to use it (which is easy). We are fully satisfied with PDFMarkz.
Had a mishap and re-formatted a hard drive that had not been backed up properly and this software is a lifesaver!
Been able to cull useable files from email proofs sent to customers.
PDF to Indesign is not perfect, but it can save your bacon!
Quarkexpress to Indesign is also a very handy tool if you have any legacy Quark files to convert to the Adobe world.
TWO THUMBS UP!!!
Hi Kevin, we're glad we could help. Did you know that if you have multiple filetypes to convert, like in your case PDF and QuarkXPress, we offer OmniMarkz. OmniMarkz is an all in one conversion tool that handles PDF, QuarkXPress, and InDesign files.
