Markzware, prepress software developer of PDF preflight, data conversion and content delivery solutions is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the conversion utility MarkzTools 6. MarkzTools 6 is a document insurance tool for QuarkXPress, which converts higher versions to lower versions, salvages bad files & maintains document integrity.

This powerful utility takes the additional steps of preventing files from going bad, thus making it a document insurance policy securing the value of important jobs. Patrick Marchese, president of Markzware says, "MarkzTools was Markzware's very first software package developed way back in 1993. Now, 13-years later we continue the tradition of helping QuarkXPress users with securing and migrating their data." He continues, "this unique XTension is easy to use and install. Protecting content from corruption provides users the confidence their data will always remain intact."

MarkzTools will salvage or repair many corrupted document files, as well as open higher version documents such as QuarkXPress 6.0 documents while inside QuarkXPress 5.5 or below.

Some of the updated powerful features included in MarkzTools are:

1. The conversion of Quark 6 documents directly to Quark 4 documents (without the need to have Quark 5 loaded).

2. The prevention of bad documents from occurring in the first place through the use of a special temp file.
3. The recovery of text data from many badly damaged or corrupted documents.
4. The conversion of picture previews to Gray. This feature allows you to archive your Quark document more easily by reducing the size of the Quark document. The best part, your links are still intact, so when you are ready to work on the live job again, you just need to do an Update in Quark.
5. The ability to retain or assign a Color Label applied to a document in the Finder.
6. The ability to recover bad or corrupt Quark documents if possible.

MarkzTools 6 is $199 MSRP. The upgrade price is $99. You can also visit us at http://www.markzware.com/store/.
