I export a PDF from PowerPoint. Then insert it to InDesign. It says "Failed to open the PDF file." But I can open it by Acrobat. And the PDF can be read on Windows.

    Show options when placing the PDF. The settings there are sticky and if they can’t be applied that’s the error you’d get.

    I suggest you

    1. Share the PDF on a file sharing site (make one with no personal info)

    2. Post in the InDesign forum (no point posting in this one, it doesn't have the InDesign experts you need), including two more pieces of info

    (a) version of InDesign

    (b) link to the PDF
