You will have received your PageZephyr via e-mail.
Markzware has a new
method of installation and activation,
which is developed in-house.
It's called MarkzControl.
With that e-mail, you'll get
your product,
you'll get a
Product ID,
and you'll get a
download link.
As you'll read, this is your personal, private and actual download URL.
All Markzware updates will always be pushed to this URL, so keep it in a
safe place.
You only need to re-download at a later date to get the most current version of the
installer
and, thus, of your product.
Do not post or share or distribute this link in any way. It is uniquely tied to you
and your order, your e-mail address.
For our most current product versions, There will be no installers posted online.
There, you'll only find older versions.
So, it's very important, because the traditional method is you go to a web page,
you get the installer, the update. You download it
and install it.
However, Markzware developed this new system, where everything is via one URL,
which is uniquely for you.
So, this is very important.
I've X'd out the information, so
you can see what's important for you,
but make sure you keep this in a safe place.
To get started, simply click on the link.
Let's do that now.
Once you click that, what you get, in your
browser on that
is End User License Agreement.
There, you can read exactly
what the End User License Agreement
entails.
And when you accept and understand
this agreement,
you click I Agree
and you click
Download.
Very important:
when you de-archive,
or decompress, the download package,
make sure that your archive utility or decompression tool
will decompress all parts of the package, not just the outer shell.
Modern decompression tools sometimes only do the outer shell,
whereas you should decompress all parts of the download.
Once the download's complete, 35.9, let's say, 36 megabyte
file,
in your Download...
in your Downloads,
you can find the package, which has now been decompressed.
There is a reference manual,
where you can get all details on how to get started.
You simply drag and drop the
PageZephyr icon into your Applications folder.
Launch PageZephyr.
Activation
and registration.
Proxy settings, if you have a
proxy, you can bypass it here.
If you have a too-strict firewall, you have to
momentarily turn that off.
And, now, let's go over all of this,
how this works. Just drag PageZephyr into your Applications folder.
You go in there.
You find PageZephyr.
I'm gonna put it down in my Dock here,
right next to
InDesign,
or should I put it next to our FlightCheck? Let's put it next to FlightCheck, in between
Quark and InDesign,
since it supports those, plus Publisher files.
And, now, let's open it up and see what happens. Let's launch PageZephyr
3.0 for the Macintosh.
Yes, we do want to open it.
Welcome to PageZephyr
explains that PageZephyr is a stand-alone application to help you find, view and
extract text from QuarkXPress, InDesign and Microsoft Publisher documents without
having these apps, applications, loaded on your computer.
What you need to do
to get started is to index your content.
So, we click
Continue to begin.
PageZephyr is able to search for and index these file types. Please select the types of files
you would like
PageZephyr to search for and index.
You want to do all.
PageZephyr will monitor the locations that you choose below for newly changed or added documents.
So, what you can do, you can add in your entire drive here or volume and it will
also search over
the network, if you choose
network-connected volumes.
In this case, let's choose...
let's choose "TESTFILES" folder,
and it will warn you: Do you want to index the volume?
The volume that contains... Turn index on. Yes, we do want to index it.
And we hit Continue.
Show Styled Stories.
This may slow down the performance of the application,
but it is much better, if you can turn this on. Do as such.
Then, you get the full stylization of the text, colors,
you know, size, bold, italic, you name it.
Finish.
And, now, you see here, it's indexing.
And it'll show you over here
all your files, which we'll get to in a moment.
So, we'll let it do its trick here. Behind here, are several
screens.
The first screen that popped up will happen, really, in the background, without
us doing anything. If you have a proper internet connection without a
firewall, or without a strict proxy,
you'll get right through and you'll be able to get this: Activation process
is now complete, your product is ready to use. It's that easy.
Sometimes, you will have to restart the application
and start again for it to kick in and activate.
Alright, so now we see PageZephyr 3.0 here, the new version of
PageZephyr,
and we see that it's indexed of all of our files, our whole volume of files, or, you know,
a directory, in this case.
So, it's pretty quick, you know, probably be about forty minutes to do all those
files. I think less even, maybe like, only, thirty minutes.
It really depends on the style and the stylization and the attributes of the
document, how long it takes.
So, it's not that bad.
You can drill in and see all the files here
and you can click on one and see the content.
And you can also drill in and see, page by page, the content,
which is...
which is quite neat.
Thank you. This has been David Dilling for Markzware.

a fantastic 2013.
Till the next time...
