I installed the Middle Eastern version of Adobe InDesign on my machine, I created a new document in InDesign with A4 page size, landscape page orientation. The document is totally empty execpt for a small grey rectangle shape on the only page.
When I select the option "Export to Adobe Express", I get the below message
Although no text whatsoever is found on this newly created document for testing purposes, it is obvious that any document out of InDesign ME cannot be converted to Express project.
Let me know if this finding is true, and whether a solution is possible.

Hi @Zaid Al Hilali,
Thanks for reaching out. I already have checked this with the product team and they have updated that currently the issue you're facing with exporting to Adobe Express from the Middle Eastern (ME) version of InDesign is related to language support. Adobe Express does not support Arabic-script PDFs. This happens if InDesign is installed with an Arabic locale. The solution to it is to reinstall InDesign with English as the installation language. This ensures that the PDF export is in a supported language, and the export to Express should work.
Please give this a try and let us know if the issue persists.

Although the suggestion you provided is not a solution since majority of users in the Middle East MUST install the Middle Eastern (ME) version of InDesign and get full RTL advantage. Yet, I appreciate that you had to check with InDesign dev. team so thanks for that.
I do hope this option of exporting to Express will be supported in the ME version of InDesign in future.

I'm using Adobe Express more often these days, the Arabic support is getting better and better all the time, so hopefully Adobe will improve Express to handle Arabic Language more.
