Text/PICT Scavenger is a free application courtesy of Markzware which has been extracted from the more advanced and powerful MarkzTools™, a QuarkXPress XTension which will salvage bad or corrupted documents, as well as open higher version documents.
Text/PICT Scavenger will scan a QuarkXPress document and attempt to locate Text or Picture data. A preview of the data will be presented at which time you can either print the preview, or save the data to a Text or PICT file, or you can click the "Next" button to locate further data.
(Note: If your file has become completely corrupted file or is unreadable, you may want to contact Markzware for further assistance).
