Press release from the issuing company

Dayton, Nev. – Markzware, Inc., a leading software developer for the printing, publishing, and graphic design industries, has announced the release of QXPMarkz v1.2.34 for macOS. This latest build comes with improvements and some bug fixes.

This new update offers you the ability to now convert QuarkXPress (.qxl) libraries. If you own a current, qualifying QXPMarkz license, you can use the license link provided to you at the time of purchase, to access this update.

Phil Hustler, Markzware customer was excited to share, “QXPMarkz works great and many more features than the last plugin Q2ID, all good! Converting away.”

QXPMarkz improvements include:

The Lo-Res Previews are now deleted after opening the document in the 3rd party application, when using the “Open in” buttons or the QXPImport Script from within InDesign

Allesio Caslotti recommends QXPMarkz, “I have been using Markzware products, for several years. I must say that QXPMarkz, thanks also to the latest updates, has reached a very high level. Congratulations to the team, great job!”

QXPMarkz, part of the new “Markz” line of applications, is replacing Q2ID. The affordable, stand-alone QXPMarkz application allows you to convert and open your QuarkXPress documents in Adobe InDesign, without the need for the QuarkXPress application.

QXPMark converts Quark files to IDML, which opens up several possibilities. Mainly, it allows you to convert Quark files to InDesign without having QuarkXPress loaded on your computer, but it also allows you to send those IDML files to Affinity Publisher 1.8 or higher. QXPMarkz also offers the ability to export text out of a QXP file and save it as a plain text, RTF or HTML.

You can get a rough preview of the QXP file. This preview can be exported as several different bitmap formats, including PNG and JPEG. You can even bring up a window with an inventory of the QXP file, which includes the number of images and fonts detected in the QXP file.

System Requirements, Pricing and Availability
System requirements for QXPMarkz include macOS 10.12 or newer, 4GB of RAM, 1024x768 display, and an Internet connection. (Note: A Windows version is in the works.) You can purchase licenses for the annual Subscription and Perpetual versions of QXPMarkz, via the QXPMarkz page on the markzware.com website and through authorized Markzware Resellers.
