SANTA ANA, California – Markzware, the leading developer of patented preflighting technology, data conversion and extraction software, today released MarkzTools for InDesign.

MarkzTools for InDesign is an InDesign plugin that will allow you to open a higher version of an Adobe InDesign document in a lower version. For instance, InDesign CS5 and CS6 users of MarkzTools for InDesign can open InDesign CC (Creative Cloud) or CC 2014 documents. MarkzTools for InDesign takes the guesswork out of working with Adobe InDesign documents created in varying versions and releases. This includes InDesign CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC, and CC 2014.

"MarkzTools will show previews of missing images in converted files, whereas IDML files will show a gray box. This feature can be useful by allowing people to see more of what the original file looked like," according to Mary Gay Marchese, public relations for Markzware.

Like the fans of Markzware’s other document translation and conversion tools, graphics professionals will find MarkzTools for InDesign to be remarkably simple to use. A simple click on "Convert InDesign Document" in the MarkzTools menu prompts the file conversion. Users can also use the standard Command-O function within Adobe InDesign to initiate document conversion.

Markzware customer, Joan Pinkert, said, “Please put me on your announcement list for the MarkzTools plugin... Once again, Markzware meets a growing need in the design community.”
