PDF conversion to Indesign

I think that feature is still in beta.

My personal favorite for conversions from PDF to InDesign is at leguptools.com.  I have always hated the idea of spending Real Money for a conversion tool, as the output of such tools can be unusable at times. This service offered by leguptools only costs $0.25 per page, so it's costing me rather less than one of the other tools suggested in this thread, and when the output is garbage, I don't think about the annual license fee, I think "well, that's two bucks down the drain. No big."

Acrobat has some pretty robust editing abilities these days.

In the Acrobat Pro tools go to Edit PDF - you can then edit text, you can replace images, open Vector images/text in illustrator and make edits, save and they update in the PDF.

If the changes are very little - then editing the PDF maybe a starting point to getting a small project over the line. 

If you need more info let us know.

There are some tools to convert PDF's to INDD:

You can only install the Beta version and try. It works best on PDFs that were created with InDesign, and I believe a bit better with those from very recent versions. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in it being anything more that a starting point for a reconstruction; unless it represents a LOT of work, you might just buckle down and start on the rebuild, pulling components from the PDF as needed.

And then set up a better backup system. 😛

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
