Issue with Copy-Pasting a Complex Pattern from Illustrator to InDesign (Vector Needed for Die-Cuttin

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a pattern in Illustrator that needs to be transferred to InDesign for a book cover. Normally, I can copy and paste vector elements from Illustrator to InDesign without any issues. However, this time, when I try to paste my pattern (which is quite large and detailed), I get the following error message:

"This operation creates a large number of page items, which can negatively affect performance. The data will be placed as an embedded EPS file."

The problem is that I need the pattern to remain a vector, as it will be used for die-cutting. An embedded EPS is not ideal. Does anyone know how I can resolve this and ensure that my pattern remains a vector in InDesign? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
