Many Adobe Creative Cloud users need to get native Illustrator designs into Adobe InDesign. For instance, map makers often need to convert maps, charts and diagrams from .ai Illustrator files to InDesign page layouts, based on customer requests or needs.

Speaking of map designers, thank you to our valued OmniMarkz customer, Tony Seddon, who let us use this custom edition map he created for our demonstration! Tony has some great graphic design content on his website at:

Adobe method to Copy and Paste Illustrator content to InDesign:
Adobe's method does not work well, if you copy and paste content from an Illustrator document into an InDesign document. When doing a Copy-and-Paste from Illustrator to InDesign, images or graphics get re-sized, at times. The biggest problem is the text. All text gets outlined or vectored, with no live text! And although the text is on a curve or path, it is not editable, at all.

Markzware OmniMarkz method:
Drag and drop your Illustrator file onto OmniMarkz.
Review the Preview and File Inventory and click the “Open in” InDesign icon.

You can convert Adobe Illustrator to InDesign, with a click, in OmniMarkz! Graphics and images used are at the correct size WITH live text! Yes, OmniMarkz converts text on a curve, ready for you to change font types or adjust sizes, leading, or whatever it is that you need to re-design or edit, now as a new InDesign .indd layout!
