Same thing if i'm doing export pdf: the gradient appear in acrobat, but if iI open the pdf with illustrator, gradient disapear.

I have to export the indesing file to .eps then open it in illustrator and it works. But I don't work with .eps because the file became really heavy.

You have move the outer gradient stops from their extreme position. Illustrator doesn't like this for gradients copied from InDesign.

Illustrator only likes InDesign-gradients with stops at the far left and the far right. In between you can do what you want.

Gradients are not fully compatible.

Please show us how the gradient is set up.

Please embed screenshots in your posts. Don't attach them.
