Hi Fran,

There are multiple ways to import PDF in InDesign. If you want to import one page, simply go to File > Place > Check "Show Import Options" and choose the page you want to place.

If you want to place all the pages of PDF (every PDF page on a different page), then use an inbuilt script. Go to Window > Utilities > Scripts > Application > JavaScript > Double Click PlaceMultipagePDF > Choose a document and open PDF.

Regards,
