Import Adobe Express file to InDesign?

[hansa1976]

Hi,

I´m quite new on Adobe Express. When out and about, and maybe bored at the metro, I play with ideas in Express on my phone or tablet. The features are cool and helpful, but I wish I could export the file and import it into InDesign for tweaking and tuning for an end product. It would save time and extend the functionality quite a bit for me, and probably for others.

I´m aware I can export as PDF and open in Illustrator, but do mostly all my production in InDesign every day.
Or is there a workaraound I don´t know about?

Hi, did you find a way to do this?

Hi,

Unfortunately no. I´ve just seen it for the other way around; exporting from InDesign to Express.

That won´t help me.

Maybe they implement it later? It would make a fantastic addition.

I found out that InDesign Beta has an option for import and edit PDFs that none mentioned for me. So upon testing it now, I found that the design I made in Express and exported as PDF, can be edited in InDesign beta and opened with both text and geometrical shapes in the design. Some of the text elements were not in their correct place, but easy to edit.

So if you have access to the beta version and it suits your needs with PDFs from Express, try it out, and let everyone here know how it goes.
