PDF Conversion: Is Adobe really so clueless?

[BoxHouse]

I needed to open an Acrobat PDF in InDesign- THEY ARE BOTH ADOBE PRODUCTS.  The fact that it's 2024 and InDesign cannot open an Acrobat file is bad enough.  But what's worse is that they're bragging about a "new Beta feature" that "converts PDFs to InDesign".  But get this: only if the PDF was created in InDesign.

It would be comical if it were so mind-numbingly indicative of the total lack of effort that Adobe puts forth these days.  There's "resting on your laurels" and then there's this.

"Is Adobe really so clueless" and "THEY ARE BOTH ADOBE PRODUCTS"

OP is so wrongfully entitled. Kudos to all the members who politely explained how this planet works to him.
