SALVAGE DOCUMENT FILE
Select the “Salvage Document File” menu item to instruct MarkzTools to attempt to
recover a corrupted document. Use this method if “Convert Document” is not successful. The
Salvage function will bypass specific complex elements in the document which individually
could be corrupted. For example, sometimes an object might have Runaround data which has
become scrambled in which case the Salvage routine will set the Runaround to None, thus
bypassing the corruption and allowing the remainder of the document to be safely recovered.
You can think of a document file as being like a “train” where all the box cars are con-
nected. Should one of the “connections” become broken then the document cannot be
opened by QuarkXPress. In this case MarkzTools can be employed to try and locate the break
point, which is much like chasing someone who crosses a river and you have to figure out
where they ended up on the other side, and then MarkzTools should be able to successfully
recover the remainder of the document.
Sometimes a document file has become so physically damaged that it might be very diffi-
cult to recover. A file might be physically incomplete and therefore absolutely impossible to
salvage. In this case MarkzTools will attempt to recover whatever portion of the document it
can. In extreme cases where the document cannot be salvaged at all, your only hope will be to
at least extract the text stories (as explained in the Extract Text From Document File section)
VERIFY DOCUMENT FILE
Select the “Verify Document File” menu item to check an existing file on disk.
It is important to understand that “Verify” does not mean the document file is 100% clean
and perfect, nor does it mean that QuarkXPress will be able to open the document tomorrow.
Instead, it means that MarkzTools has determined that there is a high probability that it will be
able to successfully recover the document. All basic objects have been checked as well as intri-
cate attributes and no serious flaws have been discovered.
