      So Acrobat Pro does that!? Wow.

      I'm kidding — Acrobat Pro has nothing to do with this, at all. (Perhaps you are confused about the Edit Objects function — that does not open InDesign, but Illustrator.)

      You cannot “convert” a PDF to InDesign, just like you cannot “convert” an image of a scanned page into a real text file. Of course there are specialized tools that might or might not get the exact text, or at least something that looks like it — but it's not 'converted'.

      It's the same with a PDF; and for that, the tool is PDF2ID. For some combinations of requirements, source documents, and expectations, it seems to have worked; for others, it didn't.

      Yes, recosoft's PDF2ID is the best bet for this. It's very good!
