the moment it updated to the latest 16.2.1 version, every time I attempted to import an existing pdf InDesign crashes. Am I doing something wrong or do others have the same issue? It makes it almost impossible to be productive when a rather basic function like that quits to function!

Hi there,
So sorry to hear about this trouble. That's definitely not a typical experience with the application. To help you with this issue I would need a few more details like:

• 10.14.6
• Dropbox
• it happens on just about any occasion I'm trying to import a PDF. I tried just as I was typing this and InDesign locked up again as well . . .

Does it happen if the files are not in your Dropbox folder?

one other strange thing is as soon as I give up, restart the application, InDesign is unresponsive . . .
as soon as I have a little time I'll try to follow up on the link provided previously by Srishti Bali

after a few more attempts to place various other PDF files into a totally different InDesign file, it all seems to be working perfectly fine . . . I have reason to believe that the PDF file I was supplied with from customer is at fault for causing this grief. I'll find out pretty quickly whether that is the case or not . . .

Try holding Shift as you place the PDF. That is, press SHift as you click the Place button in the file dialogue, or turn on Show Import Options.
One problem I have noticed is when I change the crop options for placing a PDF. If the file I place cannot support the last cop options I set (perhaps I last used bleed but this file does not have a bleed) I run into problems. I forget what problem that is.
