Nope…sorry…I still don’t get it…

So people who don’t have the Native software can reuse the content from these files?

How are they to know it has picked up everything?

How does it handle multiple columns, equations, margin notes, Images, footnotes/endnote etc etc…

Hi Eugene,
The full version of PageZephyr ($299) allows you to export the found content to a .rtf or .txt file without needing to create a Wordpress blog.

Thanks Johan. Yes, FrameMaker is on the request list, for sure. Ventura not yet, but this is the feedback we need.

Hi Eugene, Yes, that is 100% correct. The extraction at this moment goes to a free WordPress blog page you set-up via http://pagezephyr.com
Once there, you can copy this text, with styles and all, into an RTF file, for instance with ease.

The main features today are the search and extraction. You can also open the native file from within PageZephyr, once you find something you need… You can try the demo here: http://bit.ly/6cvEH0

What about ventura (they still exist) and framemaker files?

If it does read those files, it would be really awesome.

Great application anyway.

I’m slightly confused on how this works?

Say if I have 20 InDesign files, and I have them all in one folder.

Can I, for want of a better term, basically extract all the text to separate files and as Text files, like RTF?

Sorry if it seems like a simple or stupid question, just a little confused on how it works?

Good suggestion Eric, I will throw this into the development group at Markzware and see what we can do… Can you email me a couple sample files please? (david AT markzware D O T nl)

PageZephyr will however search closed .INDD files, which is already an awesome function, in and of itself.

Does anyone know if this will search InCopy files? If it does, it would be worth it’s weight in gold.
