Repurposing Content

I work for a software publishing company located in Santa Ana, CA called Markzware. We are about to release a new technology this month called PageZephyr. We would like to find out if anyone out there has a lot of legacy Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress files that they need access too.

PageZephyr can search for content inside previously inaccessible proprietary file formats from Both Adobe and QuarkXPress there will be more file formats added in the future.

The trend of re-purposing content for online use has greatly increased the value of legacy files, which can be very time consuming to search, or impossible if you no longer have the legacy authoring application. As a result, the proprietary content within these files is rarely re-purposed and never realizes its potential as a media asset.

Most often the data has simply been forgotten, due to the inability to easily and inexpensively access, reference and reuse the content. It's incredible that, irrespective of the so-called open technologies like PDF and XML standards, such an enormous amount of digital content still hasn't been preserved and made available for future access or monetization.

PageZephyr improves productivity and lowers costs by allowing users to search by keywords or phrases and find valuable content in old files. Text searches can be performed in any language, but PageZephyr is not limited to text searches -- the application can also search by other attributes such as file size and creation or modification date.
