Convert PDF to INDD
Adobe Acrobat Pro DC can edit PDF's read images and text, and it is possible to edit, so why is this function not available in Adobe Indesign? Indesign has more control and the only feature that will needed to be added is detecting strokes/filled objects converting filled lines or shapes to one to the other.
Thank you all for the feedback.
We have added this feature in our backlog. Will share more updates when we pick this up for implementation.
Thanks

>> PDF2DTP already offers this feature... Couldn't be easier!
No, David - it couldn't. Did you see a price? Did you try it this on complex publications?
It better to use Serif Affinity for such tasks now. Nevermind - we need native feature, not a toys like a payment plugins. -

PDF2DTP already offers this feature. From Markzware, an approved Adobe third-party developer: https://markzware.com/products/pdf2dtp/ You can convert multi-page PDFs right into InDesign with a click. Couldn't be easier!

you can do this illustrator. But you will find it's a ******* mess, depending on how that pdf was created.

come on Adobe isn't it about time you created the ability to covert PDF directly into Indesign and it be editable instead of us all having to buy an external add in, one we can ill afford! Why are you taking so long?

Quark can already do this by importing pdfs as native objects.

I'm here in 2019 any progress yet?? this seems like a must even if its a separate app on the creative cloud and not implemented into Indeign..
Has anyone even got another solution other than paying £200 for a plugin

Tryed yesterday the PDF2ID plugin. My InDesign started to work very slow, converted one simple PDF, a chart, about 2 minutes. So, for me, it's not usable. Voted for this request, I think it's a must have.
We need a way ti import some vector graphics as a native InDesign format. -

PLEASE. It seems rather silly that this isn't part of the program already.

Please make it possible to convert a PDF file to an InDesign file from Acrobat or make it possible to directly open a PDF in InDesign and make it editable!!!!

I agree totally, adobe should have its own plugin to convert pdf to indesign and make it editable.

OH, ABSOLUTELY! Why pay a third party company to switch formats that belong to the same company??

I join the other voices in saying, WOW, the ability to open a PDF created by InDesign can't be opened by InDesign?!? And it's in backlog as of July 10, 2018. Didn't Adobe move to a cloud platform and subscription service in 2013 to keep innovation and updates happening in a timely fashion? Five years and no integration and innovation between Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe InDesign? It seems like something that should have been worked on from day one of the "Creative Suite" creation.
