A comprehensive PDF converter
PDFMarkz is a freemium graphic and design program that lets you take command of your PDF files, offering a next-generation PDF conversion and preview experience. This multimedia tool not only lets you preview those files but also allows you to seamlessly transition them to your preferred editing application.
One of PDFMarkz's standout features is its ability to open editable PDF files directly in popular applications like Adobe InDesign, QuarkXPress, and Affinity Publisher. The PDF Document Previews are crisp and zoomable, giving you a true representation of the original document. This functionality provides a valuable insight into how the converted file will appear in your editing application.
Streamline your workflow
Designed for efficiency, PDFMarkz simplifies complex tasks with a single click. As mentioned, it allows you to seamlessly transition from previewing your document to opening it in Adobe InDesign, QuarkXPress, Affinity Publisher, or other pre-defined applications that the program supports. Automation Preferences further streamline the process as they allow for automatic export and opening of files in your chosen application.
The program goes beyond mere previewing – it enables you to export PDF files in various formats such as IDML, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, and GIF. Additionally, the software allows you to export styled text stories from QuarkXPress, InDesign, and PDF to RTF, HTML, or plain text, maintaining text formatting in the exported content. It can also integrate seamlessly into automated workflows with features like Automation Preferences, AppleScript support, and a Custom URL Scheme.
Moreover, the Document Inspector feature provides a high-level summary of your document, including file type, version, size, creation date, modification date, page count, spread count, page size, font, color, and image data. While the software impresses with its features, it does have some limitations. Users are currently unable to choose how text boxes are processed, and saving AI files directly is not supported, requiring users to recreate them in InDesign.
Go beyond previews
In conclusion, PDFMarkz by Markzware offers a robust solution for PDF conversion and previewing, significantly enhancing your document editing workflow. Its seamless integration with popular applications and automation capabilities is another great feature that makes it a valuable asset for professionals working with PDF files. However, it should be noted that the program does lack in some areas, namely in choosing how text boxes are processed and direct saving for AI files.
