Hi,
Today I'm trying to convert PDF using Indesign beta as latest version InDesign beta able to convert PDF to InDesign. But when I try to open it from File > Open, the PDF is greyed out and I cant select it. Even I try enable from All Readable document to All document, nothing happened, and when I drag and drop directly to InDesign beta showing "Undefined Error" window.
The PDF I try to opened was from InDesign, page less than 10 and connected to internet.
Any idea what happened?

Assuming you're reporting this to Adobe as Beta versions should be used for testing purposes only not be relied on for "real" work.

Hi,
Is it any different between testing purpose and for real work? I just want to test it how it works, just open directly but none of the PDF, just simple PDF file doesnt work and it's from my past PDF that exported from InDesign. Everything greyed out.

Was the file created with InDesign?

Yes, all my PDF created from InDesign. Strange not any single PDF is working, I know it's only beta :/. I'm on Mac btw and it should no problem.

Try exporting a PDF from InDesign from the Beta
Then try opening that PDF.
I know there was a rollout and it was for UK and USA only - but I think since mid-May it's been rolled out globally.
Try resetting your preferences:
Windows: Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
macOS: While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.

If a pdf is not made from Indesign, Beta cannot open it. I have found a workaround. If you place single pages of the pdf into your pages in InDesign, you can then make a new pdf. Once you do that, you can open the Indesign PDF in Indesign Beta and convert that pdf to a working document - ready to use in Indesign. It's a long way around, but I needed the document and it worked! Whew - so happy!

I am trying to open Photoshop PDFs, but I am just getting PNGs, no matter how I export them.

Photoshop PDFs are mostly raster (pixel) images. They won't convert like other PDFs.

Just to make sure - are you running exactly the same beta version:

Strange indeed. I'm in Canada, what region are you in? Sometimes Adobe implements certain features gradually throughout different countries although I don't remember seeing any info regarding gradual rollout of this particular feature.

Have you any updates to the Beta - maybe it just needs to be updated - it should be globally rolled out by now.

Yes, it's the latest version 19.4.

That's the lastest version of InDesign - it's not the Beta.
19.4 has not got the Open PDF feature

Have you downloaded the Beta app - as pointed out by @leo.r
It should look like this when you open it
Then it should be in the Readable files
Then it should open

Create an InDesign document and use File > Place to include a PDF in the document.
