Alright, let's open InDesign CC here. Righty-oh, so here we are in Adobe InDesign CC
and, up top, you see the Markzware menu item. Underneath that, you'll see a listing of
our products,
like Q2ID for Quark to InDesign, and today's demonstration,
PDF2DTP,
Markzware's multi-award-winning
PDF to InDesign conversion plugin, effectively, a PDF Editor,
right inside Adobe InDesign.
So, to begin with, there's a series of preferences. We'll get to those in a
moment, when we do
"Convert PDF" and it's that simple to use. You simply do "Convert PDF",
you click "Open",
and here are the PDF2DTP Preferences.
These are important, because turning on or off these can affect your conversion,
sometimes greatly. For instance,
"Substitute Missing Fonts" can cause fonts to flow over or,
you know, greatly change the conversion, so you might want to toggle
some of these on or off. "Replace 'Marked Content'" can
change conversions a lot, if there's a lot of marked content in the document.
You want to leave Tables on and Groups on, as well,
but these also might want to be toggled off, depending on the document type.
PDF2DTP does an amazing job of converting your PDF files,
made from any source, really, right into InDesign,
so you can use it in your familiar desktop publishing environment.
You'll see we save out the image and get all different image data,
and we'll make a separate folder with the images, as well.
So, when you click "OK", the conversion will now continue.
Look at that! It converts, (snaps fingers)
in mere seconds, a detailed desktop publishing layout that,
in this case, was made in QuarkXPress,
via the PDF, is now right in Adobe InDesign.
Now, what you see is it looks exactly like the native
PDF does. You get all elements,
stylization, logos,
pictures, you name it. Some touching up is sometimes required. For instance,
you'll see, here, we do have a
slight touch up needed.
Overall, you're talking a small percentage of your time needed to touch up,
compared to restarting this job from scratch.
PDF2DTP will also convert native Adobe Illustrator files
right into Adobe InDesign. Very handy.
Quite amazing! Let's try another
PDF here, via PDF2DTP, and see how it handles that one.
Click "OK". Okay. And, in two clicks, you're on your way to getting that
PDF content, locked up in the hard-to-manipulate PDF
container, and allowing you to bring it right back into a desktop publishing layout
you're familiar with,
Adobe InDesign CC, or CS6, or even lower versions are also still available.
And look at that! Everything comes over.
Fonts, images,
you name it. You can go into any of the job folders that PDF2DTP created.
In this case, I aimed it to my desktop.
Well, you see the Illustrator file here, and the PDF2DTP brochure here, and here's that
Markzware flyer. And what you get in there is the
InDesign, in this case, CC, or CS6,
or CS5.5, whatever version of InDesign you're using
PDF2DTP in, you'll get that version of the document, and
all of the images extracted, at resolution used.
Very important. And, just to make it clear, these files are completely editable.
So, if I want to swap out a different logo here, I just select it, delete it,
and I can go in and add, you know, or change things,
at will. So, it's that easy to use Markzware's
PDF2DTP to get your PDF content right on over,
editable, in InDesign.
