    If you can't find someone to do the conversion for you, as an alternative you can send the corrupt file to Adobe support and they may be able to fix it for you.

    A previous discussion here details the process: Corrupt InDesign file

    (Either way, I hope you're able to get an editable file again. I've had InDesign docs go corrupt on big projects; it's a nightmare.)

    And a really laborious method is to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and export it to Word (file / Save As / Word). Then bring the Word document into InDesign and lay it out again.

    If your time is worth money, purchase the software from Recosoft. If you have all the time in the world, export the content from PDF.

      That sucks. As far as finding someone willing to convert the file for you, try the graphic design forum on Reddit. Explain your situation, be very polite, and you're likely to find at least one person who'll help out a fellow designer in a bind. Something crazy like this happens to all of us at one point or another in our careers, and I, at least, have found the design community on the web at large to be very helpful when real project emergencies strike.

      That's a little like asking for someone's Netflix password. Most companies discourage this in their EULA, or nobody would buy the software. There is a trial version on Recosoft's website, so you might be able to do it yourself.

      Yeah i know, but i payed 500 bucks to safe my HDD and now InDesign says, that my documents are corrupt.

      Only the PDFs are still "alive" but i can not edit them. Hopefully you can understand me better now

      I understood you the first time, but you didn't pay Recosoft, but you are asking to benefit from their work without paying them. If that's OK with them, then that's between you two, but I'm just passing on info.
