Improve Conversion of Adobe Illustrator Documents Into InDesign Documents
It is a sad, sad day when you realize you built an entire library of corporate charts in the wrong Adobe app. And an even sadder day when you realize that converting Adobe Illustrator files into Adobe InDesign files is not straightforward. You will now spend hours creating text boxes, with copy-pasta-weary fingers... If only converting illustrator text to indesign text were easier... Alas, my fate is bound. Woe is me. I shall make a weak cry out for help to Adobe developers before I continue my trudging along in my pitiful sorrow.
Description:
I am trying to convert Illustrator files that are 1-2 US Letter 8.5x11" pages with Text and .svg graphics into Indesign. When I paste the content in, I get an error that says the data will be placed as EPS in order to avoid degraded performance. But I need the text to be editable because our translation service will only provide translations for indesign documents. I end up building it from scratch.
Why its valuable:
A way to assign incoming text boxes, lines, shapes, from Illustrator when pasted into InDesign would save me a lot of time. I need to do this for 48 documents.

Looks like there is a 3rd party solution (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypyzFMKVxRE) but would be great if it was built in
