PDF to InDesign conversion issues
Found the issues listed below when PDF attached was converted using InDesign Beta 2025. The file is an Adobe PDF (Print) exported from InDesign before trying to convert as well.
- Files do not maintain size and bleed settings
- Some vector objects within file were completely removed
- Tables and text frames do not convert accurately
- All character, paragraph & table styles did not carry over
Is there a way add a "Preserve InDesign Editing Capabilities" checkbox in the Export Adobe PDF window of InDesign? Similar to how Illustrator has a "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" checkbox in the Save Adobe PDF window.

The fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2026(v21.0.0.192). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application, click on the context menu on the top right, and click on Check for App Updates.
