converting pdf into indesign not working

Correct answer Fancy_Flower7313

I just checked that file and it appears to be have been created with a MENA version of InDesign. As far as I know, this feature is not yet supported in that or the CJK versions.


I tried opening the file in the English version and it works now. However, it hasn't been added to the Middle Eastern version yet.

I have to ask: WHY do you want to do this?? The PDF you supplied was created in Indesign 21, and literally yesterday. You should use the source files.

It's just a sample, not my original file.

Please provide more details on how is it not working.

  • Do you get an error?
  • What is your InDesign version?
  • What is your OS?
  • Does it happen with just one pdf or any pdf?
