What is an ITS file?

ITS files mostly belong to Franklin Bookman. ITS files are a type of compressed file that employ the ITOLITLS system. They are used internally in Franklin Electronic Publishing’s Bookman workflow and are also known as the InDesign Interchange Format.
  • They hold data that defines layout, text, and images for digital publishing projects.
  • They are meant for the exchange of document data between systems in a controlled environment.
  • Only specialized software that supports the ITOLITLS structure can open these files.

    How to open an ITS file

    You need a suitable software like Franklin Bookman to open an ITS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your ITS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a ITS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
