How do I export content from InDesign? A good question is over on Quora a forum for InDesign users or people with a variety of questions. How do you export content from InDesign? Naturally, there is File-Export in InDesign 2022. That gives you a variety of export options for your native .indd files: * Adobe PDF Interactive * Adobe PDF Print * EPS * EPUB Fixed Layout * EPUB Reflowable * HTML * InDesign Markup IDML * JPEG * PNG * XML There is also the Package feature in Adobe InDesign under File-Package. This will make a copy and collect all of the placed links or images into a new folder and create thumbnails of each page in a couple of image formats or PDF. You can get InDesign here: https://ift.tt/7KJHyDZ Alternatively, another way to export content from your InDesign documents or page layouts is via Markzware FlightCheck 2022!

How to make a sweatshirt in Canva It is super simple to design and print a sweatshirt in Canva! The first step is to start a free account on Canva.com. Once you have that, simply search for “sweatshirt” and you can get the proper templates to get started with your graphic design. I often use a template to get started and drastically edit the design or layout of that sweatshirt or t-shirt from there. See, I added a customer upload, our logo for FlightCheck added a new text element with our web address and so forth. Once done with the design of your sweatshirt, you can choose, “print” and then you get a cool mock-up of how your design will look on a real person wearing YOUR sweatshirt design! Neat. From there you can choose colors and even see how they will look on your design of your sweatshirt and final choose sizes and see costs. Affordable even! Amazing what you can do with Canva, even sweatshirts! At the end of the video I show you an optional step. Preflight or quality assurance checking of your Canva design. I download a print PDF from Canva and then open it in FlightCheck to get my Inventory report and find any print errors, before my sweatshirt is ordered on Canva! To try FlightCheck, see: https://ift.tt/xR8L7vE That even has Canva to InDesign! By the way, Canva even has a tutorial and an entire section on how to design and order your customer hoodies and sweatshirts, see: https://ift.tt/lMkA6Jf #Canva #sweatshirt #design That is how you make a sweatshirt in Canva! by Markzware

Get approved. FlightCheck 2022. Let's get started. The heart of FlightCheck are the Ground Controls. There are preflight presets or profiles already there for you to get started very quickly. Many will just use those. However, the more experienced preflight operators and certainly the prepress experts out there will customise the Ground Controls and save different sets for their workflow or workflows. You'll also be able to share these with other people in your workflow or other graphic design colleagues. Very handy. Preflighting a page layout and we support many different file formats. Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, QuarkXPress, and even PDF files of any sort like Canva PDFs or a PDF from Word or CorelDRAW. It's very easy to preflight just drag and drop your files either multiple files on the FlightCheck icon. Very good. The next feature which we cover in detail in many other videos is the DTP document Preview. Look at that something that that's been asked for for years from preflighters, the ability to check a Quark file or an InDesign file or a PDF file or an Illustrator job and get a preview so you can see where the preflight problems. The new FlightCheck various preflight modes, two main ones, you'll find them in the upper left hand corner. There you can switch between the two pre flight modes, Inventory and the Preflight Results mode. It is for you to decide what works best for you. I kind of use both. The preflight reports are very handy to share information with other people in the workflow but heres a new feature I really love in FlightCheck. It's actually a combination of the Preview and finding the problem and then navigates in the preview window to show you where the problem actually is. But now you can actually also edit for instance this InDesign file and edit the problem in InDesign but it opens the file InDesign for you it actually takes you right to the exact page and selects the exact problem where the problem is. Absolutely amazing. Same thing with PDF files, we can pinpoint a problem and select "edit in Acrobat." So now you can actually edit your PDFs and even with Enfocus PitStop right through FlightCheck. Now that is powerful and very handy. The package feature is one of the most popular features in FlightCheck for years. It'll gather all your fonts and images together and include them in a separate folder even compressing it. It's a FlightCheck approved folder, or not. And is very handy for archiving but also for delivery to the printer or publisher wherever the next person in the workflow is. Part of the package feature now includes a new IDML creation option. FlightCheck comes standard with now with IDMarkz it will create an IDML file for InDesign files, and optionally if you have one of our other Markz-Line products like PDFMarkzs or QXPMarkz you can create an IDML from PDF files and QuarkXPress files respectively. In Illustrator files as well! That's how easy it is to get started with FlightCheck. Check out our support page. If you have any questions please report them to us. Or if you have any requests or did you find any errors of course, reports those as well. Once again, check the links below for more detailed information. more tutorials on Markzware's FlightCheck...

Comment réparer un document InDesign corrompu - Interview de Jacques Dubuc Bonjour, c'est Jacques Dubuc. Donc je travaille chez Verdi Voyages ou je suis donc graphiste designer graphique. Donc on édite des catalogues. Bien évidemment, on a un site web et des catalogues avec le design. Et voilà ce qui m'est arrivé. Donc après avoir terminé une des brochures qui allait donc partir chez l'imprimeur, j'ai ouvert le fichier InDesign. J'ai lancé un PDF pour contrôle des pages d'intro. Et là, bon, ça s'est planté. Rien de dramatique, ça se plante toujours fréquemment. J'ai quitté InDesign, relancez InDesign. Ça va être dit que le fichier a été endommagé et donc j'ai cliqué sur Réparer comme ça se produit. Et là, il me dit que le fichier a été transféré sur les serveurs. Adobe SA m'a dit au bout d'un moment désolé, on ne peut pas réparer votre fichier. Le problème c'est que vous en avez pas de double. Que le fichier était terminé. Ce cas, une grosse brochure peut faire 90 pages. Donc j'ai commencé à paniquer. J'avais fait une mise à jour de InDesign, je l'ai supprimé, j'ai réinstallé la version précédente. Rien n'a changé. Après, j'ai appelé le tchat d'Adobe. Je suis tombé sur. J'ai passé à peu près 1 h avec le Tchad et l'on me disait de faire à peu près ce que j'avais déjà fait, c'est à dire downgrader InDesign et essayer. Bon, après m'ont dit Bon bah on va le déluge sur nos serveurs et on va voir ce qu'on peut faire. On vous donnera une réponse sous 20 4 h. Je me suis fait à peu près un peu d'illusion sur leur capacité ou le temps qui est consacré à ce doc. Et j'ai commencé à chercher sur le web s'il y avait d'autres solutions. J'ai rien trouvé de très probant et en j'ai navigué de forum en forums de plus en plus désespéré et je tombe sur un forum. Je ne me souviens plus si c'était américain ou anglais et ou un gars disait Ah mais il y a cette boîte Max Ware et dessert mal Life Documents Sauver la vie et je me suis dit Qu'est ce que je fais voir? Après, je me suis souvenu qu'effectivement dans le passé, c'est une boite qui fait des plugins. Pourquoi pouvoir? Xpress InDesign? Donc j'étais en confiance. Je me suis dit que c'était pas un truc bizarre et donc toute façon on ne prenait pas grand risque. Donc la société demande un forfait de 50 € pour examiner le fichier InDesign. Et après le forum, on tire le prix de la rue Covering of the fight. Le prix dépend du nom de Mega. Du fichier. Moi c'est un fichier de 100 mega. C'était 100 100 € en plus. J'ai envoyé mon fichier à peu près. Je ne sais pas vous dire. Une demi heure après, j'ai reçu un mail de David ou le président de cette entreprise et qui m'a envoyé un pdf base def de mon document. J'ai pu voir qu'il avait récupéré je ne sais pas. À 95 99 du fichier, on a payé les 100 € demandés et bien évidemment on a reçu le fichier dans la foulée et j'ai pu terminer le fichier et faire les ultimes corrections et l'envoyer chez l'imprimeur. Voilà donc moi je dis pour toutes les personnes qui ont un problème avec un fichier InDesign endommagé, ça peut arriver. Faites leur confiance. Voilà. Merci beaucoup des historiens. La grande mise en page InDesign de Jacques, après un mois de travail, est devenue corrompue. Le fichier .indd s'est écrasé un jour et ne s'est jamais rouvert. Il a essayé de réparer avec Adobe, même avec leur équipe de support, mais rien n'a fonctionné. Heureusement, ils ont également trouvé Markzware. Markzware OmniMarkz a pu ouvrir et récupérer son catalogue multi-pages ! Nous avons envoyé à Jacques un aperçu et finalement la mise en page InDesign entièrement corrigée, le tout en quelques heures, leur faisant gagner des jours et des jours de temps et donc d'argent, sans parler de l'aggravation ! Vous pouvez télécharger OmniMarkz ici : https://ift.tt/hc1SP0g Plus d'informations sur le fichier DTP, le service de récupération InDesign sont ici : https://ift.tt/2jrTd4P J'ai également mentionné FlightCheck 2022, la version bêta.

That’s right, Markzware’s flagship product, FlightCheck, first released at Seybold 1995 has been totally re-designed and is now shipping! At the time of this video, it is for sale as a pre-release, as we still have some cosmetic and workflow areas to finalise, but perhaps when you’re watching this video, FlightCheck 2022 is fully released! FlightCheck 2022 was re-built, from the ground up. Our stand-alone preflighting engine, MarkzFrame, now shared with our popular Markz-Line apps for DTP file conversions, is now the power behind this multi-award winning preflight and packaging tool for graphic designers and prepress pros alike. We also now have a full high-resolution preview of your files! This is something long requested in older versions of FlightCheck. The Previews are self-generated by our framework and you do not need the native applications to soft-proof and check your files! If you do have Adobe InDesign, Acrobat, QuarkXPress or Illustrator on your macOS, then we have extremely useful ways to not only highlight the problem in our modern interface, but also to go right into say InDesign to edit the preflight problem. We even take you exactly to the object with the error or issue! Have a bad PDF, no problem. FlightCheck will allow you to “Edit in Acrobat” so that you can edit the PDF with Enfocus PitStop or the Adobe editing tools. These are some extremely useful features, that the beta testers have loved! A FlightCheck would not be complete with the collect job feature, now called Package job. We gather up all used fonts, images and artwork and put them in a FlightCheck Approved folder. We even create a PDF and IDML for you! That’s right, IDMarkz, Markzware’s InDesign to IDML utility is included with FlightCheck. For other files types, like PDF, the PDF to IDML feature is optional.

Preflight for professionals! Markzware's stand-alone FlightCheck 2022 macOS application for preflight professionals is now available! On behalf of Markzware, I'm personally very happy to be the one telling you that the new FlightCheck 2022 for macOS is now available! Cruise on over to https://ift.tt/DS65Wpr and check it out, today, and get the 30 day preflight demo! FlightCheck 2022 has been rebuilt from the ground up. It's called the MarkzFrame engine. This framework is what powers both our popular Markz Line of DTP conversion tools, like IDMarkz for InDesign files, QXPMarkz for Quark files, PDFMarkz for PDF files, etc. And it also now powers the new FlightCheck, with a totally new interface wrapped around it. FlightCheck is really slick and easy to use. But, now, we've also added a soft-proof preview, a full high-resolution preview, and that's something that the original users of FlightCheck often asked for. I'd love to have a soft proof, built in with pre-flighting, as it would just go hand-in-hand, to be able to find my graphic design or print problems and see where they are in the page layout or document. If you have a multi-page InDesign document to design and print, this is extremely useful. Now, we have it. Go to problems! You can now preflight, find errors, and edit this found problem or that image, in InDesign. You can edit, right in InDesign! It takes you not only into InDesign and into the document, it'll take you right to the exact page and right to the exact element where the problem is, selected for you. But it gets better. For PDF editing, for when we click "Edit in Acrobat", off we go, right into Acrobat. We can use Adobe's built-in editing tools, or right there, may also be Enfocus Pitstop, when you need to edit with that, or as a Pitstop user. That's a quick introduction to FlightCheck 2022, now available. We have a full playlist, up on YouTube, on how to use FlightCheck, and here is the link: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSVwOfKpEaVy-blwYPHnT2KA0lD1DP6e- I'll also put a link, down below, to where you can purchase FlightCheck 2022, today: https://ift.tt/DS65Wpr and where you can get the 30-day demo, to try it for yourself. FlightCheck is perfect for those in graphic design, publishing, and print businesses. It is not just a prepress software tool, but also a workflow aide, to help creatives, design department professionals, workflow members upstream, and workflow members downstream, where final output takes place. Like a Markzware t-shirt slogan says, "Why fight it? Preflight it!" with FlightCheck. To “Like” this video, simply click the thumbs-up icon below the video.

Corrupt InDesign Fix - Jacques Dubuc Interview Jacques’ large InDesign page layout, after a month of work, went corrupt. The .indd file crashed one day and never opened again. He tried to fix with Adobe, even with their support team, but nothing worked. Luckily, they also found Markzware. Markzware OmniMarkz was able to open and recover their multi-page catalog! We sent Jacques a preview and eventually the entirely fixed InDesign layout, all within a couple of hours, saving them days and days of time and thus money, not to mention aggravation! You can download OmniMarkz here: https://ift.tt/VKoOWLz More info on the DTP File, InDesign Recovery Service is here: https://ift.tt/V8IMqUL I also mentioned FlightCheck 2022, the beta. You can get that here: https://ift.tt/wR3pnAS Jacques DUBUC is Irresponsable artistique & infographie or in English he is responsible for artwork and infographics at Verdie Voyages in Rodez -FRANCE and you can view their exotic travel website on https://ift.tt/FDV4pzP Below is a transcript of the interview with Jacques on the full corrupt InDesign story, with some good tips for InDesigners out there using Indy day in and day out! David Dilling 0:01 Hi everybody David Dilling here from Markzware where today we have a customer on the zoom here. Jacques DUBOC of Verdie Voyages in France. Jacques was "unfortunately" a customer of Markzware with a bad or corrupt InDesign file. The good thing is, we fixed it! But Jacques maybe first an introduction, who you are and what you do. Jacques DUBUC 0:17 So I'm a graphic designer. With a travel company called Verdie Voyages in France. We are making exotic trips around the world and so we have a website and we do a lot of printed materials, a lot of brochures, which we do in Adobe InDesign. Of course. And about two weeks ago we had just finished one of four brochures and the morning, just open my InDesign file do a PDF for the manager so that we will check the introduction to be sure everything is ok. And then InDesign crashed, nothing to worry. So I just re-startInDesign. Okay, it says my InDesign file is damaged, nothing to worry, it happens. So I click OK. On the morning I've done an upgrade of InDesign CreativeCloud on the new MacBook, not nothing worked and then it says oh we are about to treat your InDesign page layout file on our servers, Click Ok. Ok. And then it says oops, we cannot repair it. You will have to redo the project! David Dilling 2:03 Was it also on a Monday morning? Jacques DUBUC 2:05 On the Monday morning? Exactly! So what did I do? I just down-graded InDesign 2022. To my last version. We done the process. Exact same thing to open a chat with the technical services people of Adobe and just says the same just downgrade try again and nothing happens. So they tell they told me to put my InDesign document my damaged design file on CreativeCloud and on the cloud when I don't and they said oh we will check it we will have a fast answer about 24 hours to check the file. So I was afraid that they didn't check because Adobe, I think has millions of customers. I don't think our job will be the priority. So I began to search other solutions. So I've looked into the web about solutions for fixing the major corrupted InDesign problems and I was browsing different industry forums for InDesign, like Reddit and Adobe's own forums. Mostly every person say the same things we can check but nothing. And then I saw a post of a guy who said Oh stop it. If you have this kind of problem you can check Markzware ! He saved my life! I remember your company because in the past I was working with QuarkXPress. You already published plugins to Convert InDesign to Quark back then and now Quark to InDeisgn. Markzware does a lot of plugins so I just came to your website so that I can send my damaged file (dead InDesign file!). So we pay the small in-take fee so you can check the file. And we wait then about I don't know maybe about an hour an now you send me a preview PDF file of my damaged file, fixed and the last step is to pay the Fixed File fee, which I did. David Dilling 5:19 99 euros a year. Yeah. Jacques DUBUC 5:33 And so we do that and then you give me my IDML (InDesign Markup Language file) and you saved me about, I don't know, maybe one month of time! REST OF VIDEO NOT TRANSCRIBED. Watch full on YouTube. Adobe even gave them one month of free CreativeCloud as re-payment for the costs of the Markzware service to fix the file. That was good of Adobe, but they can better help customers and get them to Markzware right away! Our recovery rate on damaged or corrupt, un-opening InDesign files is very high, as in above 80% recovery rate! #InDesign #graphicdesign #Adobe Corrupt InDesign Fix, via Markzware as Jacques DUBUC a graphic designer explains! by Markzware

How to remove a hyperlink in InDesign This is how you remove a hyperlink from an Adobe InDesign file: 1) Select the hyperlink text or image. 2) Right-Click the mouse and select, “Edit Hyperlink” 3) Set the “Character Style” to NONE. 4) The hyperlink and blue, underlined text is all removed! You would think you could go up to the InDesign menu item, Window, then under Interactive, open the Hyperlinks control panel and remove the hyperlink there. You basically can, but it does not remove the “style” that was then set of the blue underlined text and what have. That is why I use the Riga-Click, Edit Hyperlink method! For more information on the Markzware products for Adobe InDesign and yes, we handle hyperlinks with our conversions and preflighting, see: http://markzware.com #InDesign #hyperlinks #graphicdesign That is how to remove a hyperlink from InDesign! by Markzware

Quark, Illustrator and PDF to InDesign, an in-depth customer review on Markzware OmniMarkz. Author and DTP layout user, Robert Danelio, had years of legacy QuarkXPress, Adobe Illustrator and PDF files. For new projects and businesses, he needed access to these old documents. He turned to Markzware to help him convert legacy files on his macOS. The QuarkXPress files he had did not even preview on the macOS anymore, they were just white files with .qxd and .qxp file extensions. Same with the Adobe .ai artwork! He had wanted to find a solution to this for a while and finally turned to a Google search, “Open Quark in InDesign” and he found QXPMarkz! So he immediately downloaded an Adobe InDesign demo and was astonished! He could Preview and SEE his old, long-lost Quark files right in QXPMarkz! And with a click, Markzware opens those in InDesign! Wow, he said! OmniMarkz is a combination of Markzware QXPMarkz, PDFMarkz for PDF and Illustrator files and IDMarkz for InDesign files. It also includes advanced File Info on all used images, fonts and colors in the layers. Very handy if you need to find old typefaces again or high resolution images! Robert tells us why he opted for OmniMarkz instead of QXPMarkz, well, because he has multiple DTP file formats! He loves OmniMarkz! To download OmniMarkz and learn more, see: https://ift.tt/06xCDpw Robert loves OmniMarkz and would 100% recommend it to any potential customers. Now, with a click, he can view and transform his Quark files into InDesign, with a click! Hear all about Robert’s background, learn what process mapping is and how easy it is to use and profit from OmniMarkz, QXPMarkz or PDFMarkz. Robert did a web search for, “Will InDesign open QuarkXPress files” and found a video from Markzware and eventually bought our converter! The Basics of Process Mapping book: https://ift.tt/UMfT6iI “This book provides how-to guidance and examples for three types of maps, namely relationship map, cross-functional process map, and flowchart. It helps readers to effectively apply all three types of maps to make work visible at the organization, process, and job/performer levels." #Illustrator #graphicdesign #InDesign Robert also shared with us his favourite books in the realm of process mapping and business and life in general. The authors and books he talks about in this video review included the titles: Atomic Habits Improving Performance Building Expertise The Machine That Changed The World Taiichi Ohno (Toyota) David Dilling from Markzware mentioned his favourite book from the printing world, “The Justification of Johann Gutenberg” and added that this was “the machine that changed the world”! :) On that note, check out Markzware FlightCheck to preflight and package your DTP graphic designs before you go to print, also on Markzware’s website.

Elon Musk goes after the printing industry! Elon Musk took a swing at printers this past weekend. Well, it was largely tongue and cheek, I guess… “also why are there still printers?” Source: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1517747629291188224 But the reactions on printers, printed magazines and even the commercial printing market, was educational, if not interesting! Link to FlightCheck 2022 beta download from Markzware mentioned as well: https://ift.tt/85iK7xS Most of the answers were funny or joking around or about doge coin. Actually most agreed that governments still needed printing devices. To print money of course! Elon may way to fund SpaceX with PrintX! The commercial printing business is looking up… “The Global Commercial Printing Market was valued at USD 411.99 billion in 2020, and it is projected to be worth USD 472.35 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 2.24% during the period 2021 - 2026. The commercial printing market is poised for remarkable growth over the next five years.” Source Report: https://ift.tt/KYyWsUF Here are some of the tweets I highlighted from the Elon Musk tweet thread: “Because we live in the real world where not everyone has screens and not everyone can read well on screens. Not everything is or needs to be digital.” Was said by @DaveRage This answer was classic: “to print” from @3eyondLabs This one makes sense! “And why can't I use 3rd party brands or have to buy color cartridges when I only need in black and white?” From @DevstatrOMeGA “I once had to hear the marketing director of a major magazine say: people want to fill the paper of the magazine (just after iPad was getting popular). I said to him that people pay for the information, not paper, and he got angry. They are no longer in business, BTW.” Claimed by @gmpassos “BREAKING NEWS: Elon Musk puts entire printing industry on alert with a tweet that began with a slightly tilted crying laughing emoji.” Now that was a funny reply from @0xTh0mas Mark Jeffrey made a comment that the macOS Apple users will love… and understand! “Can you make fun of Bill Gates some more please? I think I'm still pissed off about Windows 98.” From @markjeffrey Why are there still printers? Ink on paper, that you see all around you, such as packaging, business cards and the catalogs we get in the physical post. Direct mail has a much better ROI then online marketing. Have you seen the prices for some keywords on Google AdSense?! Maybe a print to blockchain solution could replace the at home printer, with secure, peer to peer connections. So instead of printing all of your tax paperwork on paper, you print it to the a blockchain solution that gives secure access only to approved parties. Then again, for some events and venues, you still needed a printer ticket or voucher. #printers #printing #elonmusk Printers aren’t going anywhere, at least not commercial printing! by Markzware

InDesign missing iCloud files Missing images in InDesign is always a problem. That is what preflight is for, right? Well what happens when a missing image, really isn’t missing, just up in cloud storage? Well, it is a workflow stopper. Forst of all, the messages in InDesign do not help you. Apple macOS is also not very intuitive in this case, as you have to notice the very small iCloud icon to get an inkling of an idea that the files is NOT on your local drive anymore, but upload to iCloud storage to keep your hard drive free for use. In this video we show you the problem, how to manually fix it and hopefully Adobe and Apple can work together to make a more workflow enabled possibility for this. Lastly, we show you how FlightCheck 2022 beta finds the same missing images or file and actually takes you right into InDesign to fix the broken links!
