Hello, everybody and good day! My name is David Dilling and,
on behalf of Markzware, today, I’d like to show you
our new Pub2ID version 3.
Pub2ID v3, or Markzware’s Microsoft Publisher to
Adobe InDesign conversion plug-in
for InDesign CS4 or CS5, will convert Microsoft 2002
to 2010 Publisher files, right into Adobe InDesign.
Well, without further ado, let’s see a live demonstration
of how this works.
Alright. So, we got some .pub files in.
The customer really wants us to output these.
They really want the job. It’s a big university and,
yeah, we want to help them out.
The problem is, if I double-click it,
I can’t open it, in any application,
and I don’t have Publisher on this Macintosh,
but we want to work with this file.
That’s where Pub2ID v3, from Markzware, comes in.
Available for Macintosh or Windows, it will allow you
to open and use these Microsoft Publisher files.
For more information on Pub2ID v3,
Simply go to Markzware’s web page.
Alright. So, we’ve gone over to markzware.com,
and this is our main webpage. You can see all of our
products that we’ll scroll by.
And you can go to our Products section and,
simply, choose Pub2ID v3.
You’ll see all of our other products, like PageZephyr,
for extracting and allowing you to search text within
Publisher, as well as InDesign and Quark files,
and many of our other conversion and preflight
tools, like the popular FlightCheck, a stand-alone
tool to preflight your Illustrator or InDesign,
QuarkXPress, Publisher, EPS, PDF, pretty much,
you-name-it type of desktop publishing files.
for errors, before you output to the internet,
or to print. In this case, we choose
Pub2ID v3.
And, here, we’ll get a full overview of the
features and functions, (This movie, of course,
will be embedded, as well.)
as well as system requirements for the Mac and Windows versions.
Please, read this, carefully.
On the righthand side, you’ll see information,
such as the manual and more technical information,
to help you get started, more quickly.
Although, as you’ll see, in a moment,
the process is very simple.
If you’re going to buy multiple seats,
we have tremendous discounts. And, for now, we just want to
Buy Now, so we can get started and convert this
Microsoft Publisher 2010 file, right into Adobe InDesign CS5
or CS4. Right, so we click “Buy Now,” and that will
get us started. Installation is quite easy.
The activation does require internet access,
but it also is straight forward.
Installation is simple. Simply copy and paste the
long License Code from your email you got from our
online store or from the reseller which
sold you the product. And then, choose either Setup CS4
or Setup CS5 and double-click, to install Pub2ID.
Naturally, you should read your installation instructions
and some of the other information.
If you have any questions, before you get fully started.
It is quite simple, but there is one important area
to really watch out for and that’s at the very end of
activating the License, which does require an
active internet connection.
And that, quite simply, is to make sure you
click “Finish” and not “Next,” at the end.
So, alright. Here, we are, in Adobe InDesign CS5.
And, up top, in the menu item, on the righthand side,
you’ll see the Markzware menu item.
And this is where all of the action is going to go down,
in this case. Let’s take a closer look
at that item.
Alright. So, here, we are, in the Markzware menu item.
And you see some of our other products, like Q2ID,
which will convert QuarkXPress documents,
also right into InDesign, and some other stuff
we’re working on. But Pub2ID is right in the middle,
here, in this case.
These are the products I’ve purchased from Markzware.
And, if we choose “Convert MS Publisher Document,”
That’s how easy it is, in effect.
The Pub2ID Updates is where you’ll get the link
to our webpage, to get the latest version.
And the License Control is just where you were,
when you activated the product. Here, you can de-activate or
adjust your licensing.
So, we want to convert that Publisher file.
We simply select “Convert MS Publisher Document,”
And we get the next dialogue.
Alright. So, we get the dialogue, “Open Publisher …” dialogue.
And, if we choose one of the files, Microsoft Publisher files,
we’re trying to open, we can simply select it and
choose “Open,” and the work begins.
Markzware’s conversion technology is based on our readers,
which make the job of converting extremely easy, for products,
like Pub2ID, in this case.
Markzware has years of experience in preflighting,
with FlightCheck, multiple file formats, as a
stand-alone application, has led us to this ability
to also convert, extract, and even search content, in some
of our other products,
all without opening the native application.
Here, you see we’re opening a Microsoft Publisher file
without even having Publisher on our system.
Once open, you’ll see we’ll have a completely editable
and usable layout, right within Adobe InDesign CS5.
Pub2ID even extracts the images
from within the Publisher file,
embedded deep within the file format.
Thus, you’ll be able to re-use those images,
In your new layout, in Adobe InDesign.
Look at that! Let’s take a closer look.
Here we see the file.
And quite a complex file.
Lots of images and diagrams. And we see, over here,
the links to all of the different images used.
And, on our Desktop, we have the Images folder.
And, if I click that open, you’ll see all the images
that are used in the file are right here, within the
Images folder, where they were just extracted,
by Pub2ID.
Now, with any conversion, we do recommend, of course,
that you do a complete checkover,
a preflight, if you will, preferably with FlightCheck,
stand-alone preflight. Easy to use.
Don’t have to fumble around with confusing terminology
within other built in, sub-quality preflighting systems.
FlightCheck will let you know, really quickly,
what’s going on.
What you see here is the amazing ability of the
Markzware conversion tools, the, in this case, Pub2ID v3,
for InDesign CS5 or InDesign CS4,
Macintosh or Windows.
Yeah, you saw how great it was, but don’t believe me,
go and check out our webpage, again.
And, this time, check out down here,
on the righthand side,
you’ll see “Pub2ID Links.”
And you’ll see, in particular, here,
the Pub2ID Reviews and Testimonials.
Click on there.
And, there, you can see all of the informative articles,
and information, user testimonials,
user stories on how well Pub2ID worked for them.
As this customer said, “An Adobe plug-in makes the
end product painless and beautiful.”
Now, I don’t know if we can make it
any more beautiful than what you’ve designed,
but Pub2ID will certainly help you to migrate
Microsoft Publisher right into Adobe InDesign.
Our handle, over there on Twitter, is simply Markzware,
@Markzware, as they say.
And you can stay abreast of all of our latest information,
and what we’ve been up to, and what others are saying,
as well. We get a lot of customer interaction,
over here, on Twitter, really a neat tool for
printers, publishers, and designers to interact
with each other, often in real time.
And, of course, don’t forget our YouTube channel
or our Facebook page, as well.
Come join our communities and give feedback,
and we really appreciate that.
So, thank you, again! Markzware, here,
signing off. Have a great day!
