Dear Derek,

Thank you for your advice, with Place way I can place both in my Spread. The reason I will do with Open is I want to edit a PDF file through InDesign, also I don't to change the original  PDF document size.

You can't edit PDF in InDesign directly.

As say to you Paul you can use PDF2ID plugin.

Here it list of some other PDF-editor software:

- Adobe Acrobat Pro (native application)

- Adobe Illustrator

- CorelDraw

- Iceni Infix

- Serif PagePlus or DrawPlus

About JPG. You can do some not-full-edit with competitor software such as QuarkXPress or PagePlus, but you can't do this with InDesign. Because in 99% users of Adobe buy InDesign with CC-subscription where Photoshop is included. I'm prefer to use only photoshop when needs to edit raster graphics. But you can try some another software such as

- Corel Photopaint or PaintShop Pro

- Serif Affinity or PhotoPlus

- Google Picasa

- many others

If you are unable to open JPEG photos in Windows, update your Photo Viewer or Photos App. Updating the app usually fixes the bugs that prevent your JPEG files to open. You can update Windows Photo Viewer or Photos app automatically by updating your Windows.
