ID Util is a FREE standalone macOS application that allows you to view InDesign previews, styled story content, linked images, and used fonts. You can also export the previews and styled stories to standard formats. Use ID Util to ensure that files are opened in the proper version of InDesign.

View Page Previews

Previews supported for InDesign, IDML, and InCopy files (CS2 through CC 2019). By default, Adobe InDesign will save the first two page previews at medium resolution. You can modify your InDesign preferences to save all page previews at high resolution, for better preview support.

Preview Adobe InDesign, IDML, and InCopy files, without the need to have Adobe software installed on your system. Export those previews as PNG, JPG or PDF files. Share the exported previews with customers or colleagues who may not have InDesign.

Zoom in, to view the page at more detail. Or zoom out, to view thumbnail views of a multiple-page document. View the page print size, as well as the file version (e.g., InDesign CC 2019).
