Word Document with Embedded Images to InDesign with PDF2DTP. How can we get those embedded images in MS Word, extracted and re-placed, with the entire Word document structure within Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress? By Markzware with PDF2DTP of course! Customer Asked: i'm already client of yours converter Q2ID - so i know your products and how usefull they are. Now i've seen this PDF2DTP and it looks like it can be very usefull to a task i'll be doing but i needed to be sure if really does what i need. i'll try to explain what i need to do a zillion of times: 1 - i'll need to pick up a word doc - that has embended images - and make it a indesign of it. The problem is that it's all - they don't send any images (yeah great) 2 - so i need to extract them from word - and that doesn't give me the exact name of the image - and not always the best resolution of the embended image. 3 - besides that when i put the word in indesign i'll need to re-link all zillion of images one by one because the names weren't preserved. what a stupid waste of time. Now from what i've read from PDF2DTP - i thought that: a) i could make a pdf of the word. b) pass it though PDF2DTP and i would have all images with the names preserved and avoid a zillion re-links. Am i correct? does PDF2DTP gets the original image from a word file - like it does from a Quark or Indesign? and get proper file name so that i couls use a simple update of all images? thanks and keep up the good work. Microsoft Word to PDF to InDesign and you have it with Markzware's PDF2DTP!

What he gets in are Word files, and he gets in these Word files, and that's all he gets. He doesn't get any fonts or images. Now, the fonts he has. They're standard, you know, system fonts, but the problem is the images are embedded in the Word file. So, I made a little test here to exhibit the situation, but what he needs to do is get these Word files into a professional desktop publishing layout, in his case, Adobe InDesign CS6, and he needs the images, but he needs them to manipulate and finalize the layout for print. So, here we have a little Word file with images embedded, and we have just some text, just to show you finally what our PDF2DTP can do, because that's what we're going to show you here, our PDF to InDesign, how that can help get a Word file with images embedded, to help you get those images freed up and in the correct position within the final layout. Here, we just got the Word file in here. We're going to then go up here and do File - Save As. We're going to choose Format, PDF, and we're going to save that down to the desktop. Alright, so we're going to quit Word. Now, let's go check out the PDF. Here's the PDF now. Preview on the Mac looks the same. Same would apply on Windows. Can open up that PDF in there. We see everything, just like it was, right? Alright, so let's get out of Preview now. There are some things you might have to touch up, but I think that's quite logical, just like converting from Japanese to German to English, something's going to be lost along the way. You're going to have to address that. Boy, I tell you, all of these phones are dinging and ringing, with all their funky sounds these days. Okay, so now we'll go to our desktop again. Get out of InDesign. What you're going to see here is the job folder, and in that job folder is everything, the InDesign file with the linked images, that were just in this Word file over here. So, folks, pretty amazing! A way to get Word files, with embedded images, right on over into InDesign, via a PDF and Markzware's PDF2DTP, with images included at resolution and the stylization used. We'll click here on the PDF2DTP Bundle on markzware.com and you can see you can get more information over here, including videos and technical details. There are also a bunch of testimonials on YouTube, I'll put a link to, down here, and you'll see how incredible this tool is, for a very affordable price, for Macintosh or Windows. Check it out today. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us on sales@markzware.com and we'll be happy to help you out. Do a little test conversion on a PDF for you, if you're not sure, but, once again, this really works fantastic. There might be some touching up needed, but as you just saw, there are so many uses for PDF2DTP. It's one of those plug-ins you just really need to have in your toolbox.
