PDF2DTP Convert PDF to InDesign, a demo. PDF2DTP will allow you to get Adobe Portable Document formats, better know as PDFs back into a familiar desktop publishing environment. PDF2DTP is available for Quark or InDesign. PDF2DTP PDF to InDesign and PDF to QuarkXPress See: http://markzware.com/products/pdf2dtp/ PDF2DTP Convert PDF to InDesign Okay, so this is all I have left is this PDF, That's it, but i need this content. I'm going to go ahead and recreate this PDF in InDesign and it won't take me that long, in this case, one page, but here's a perfect example it was much easier for me to just take this PDF instead of just trying to enter it in acrobat you know, hack it back into something else I could use. I want to use this same layout, the same formats, but then changing logo content to be for another product. Well, for this product, actually. Let me show you how I did that. So, what we do, we go over here in InDesign here, in this case, CS5, and we go to PDF2DTP and, as we saw, we go to "Convert PDF" It's pretty much that simple. Then select the PDF you want to convert which will be this Q2ID marketing brochure, and we click the Open here. It's pretty much that simple. You see in seconds the file is converted. Now, there is some small touching up to do It's a fact of life in going from a scrambled PDF, a PDF which scrambles the information chaotically throughout the file format, but you see it's quite easy, simple things to do. We'll be improving this all along the way, of course. Q2ID logo anymore, so I went in and placed the PDF logo. Place that there. We get that and we come over here. Of course, we change the text to be indicative of... well, you get the idea. This is what we did. So, here's what we finally got out of that. I'll obviously save this out. You know, you can save out anything you have converted. File - Save As. It's that easy. And here's what I got. In recent, I'll find it right here. So, it's the same exact file I converted.You can change that to be somewhere else, if you wish. You can handle this problem every time before converting. You can convert just a certain page range. For instance, if you have a huge PDF, it might take a little bit longer to convert. So, maybe you only need, you know, "Convert Page Range" and just to give you an idea, let's back out of this file here. Let's open another file here. Now, you're talking about files which will be multi-paged and when you have a multi-page file, it quickly gets very advantageous to rather convert than to create anew. So, now you see when you have fonts that are not available, you might want to better substitute them. Those preferences in PDF2DTP can change the conversion drastically, so you'll want to tinker with those if you have odd results. Look at that! Fantastic way to get content from PDF files right into InDesign with Markzware's PDF2DTP. And we cruise on over into our User folder in our Documents folder and then in there we'll get a PDF2DTP folder. Inside of there, we get both of our different versions of PDF2DTP and in the InDesign folder, you'll see the files I recently converted and there's the Q2ID file. Now, this is a vector-based file, so that converts it differently, but if I look in some of the other files we converted, what you'll see is we extract out all of the images along with creating a new layout for that file. We showed you just this file a moment ago, as well. Incredible! The amount of time and money this tool will save you just by extracting these images alone, not to mention, of course, the the getting the files themselves back. So, really quite an amazing feat this PDF2DTP is providing. I'm quite certain you'll also find it very useful. It's the hammer you must have in your toolbox to help bring order out of chaos to get PDF files, which are chaotic in format internally, salvage them out to something you can use, namely InDesign.
