Fixing bad Adobe InDesign Files- an update!

Fixing bad or corrupted Adobe InDesign files (error 5, etc) has been more requested than we even thought. With only a few blog posts and a couple films highlighting how we recover the bad files, we have had many send in their documents! Keep emailing them to us on david AT markzware . nl

Hi, I am Arnold Roosch from Markzware Europe and I would like to give you an update on our last podcast about repairing flaky InDesign files using both Quark, Markzware's InDesign to Quark XTension or ID2Q for Quark and Markzware's Quark to InDesign conversion Plugin or Q2ID for InDesign.

We received a huge number of positive reactions on our first videocast on this subject after which we asked you, as InDesign users to send in your flaky InDesign files. To be honest; we did not know there where that many corrupted files out there! We are still receiving 1 or 2 corrupt files per day and using the quite onorthodox way of salvaging the file, we where able to salvage about 90 to 95 percent of them. Since our Research and Development department is working hard on a solution to prevent InDesign files from getting permanently damaged I hereby ask you to keep sending us your flaky files. We will try to salvage your file, send it back to you and use it to create you a product that will put an end to InDesign files getting corrupt that took you hours to create.

what version of quark are you running?

[markzwareTV]

@DragonKin0110 That is an older version of Quark - I believe QuarkXPress v7. Same process works with QuarkXPress 9 and ID2Q v6, coupled of course with InDesign CS5.5 or lower and Q2ID v5.5.

That is, InDesign-CS4

[markzwareTV]

Hi, yes, it will work (when it can recover the bad InDesign file) in CS4.
