You can't open PDF in InDesign directly. NO, YOU CAN'T

However

- You can place PDF into indd

- Or https://www.recosoft.com/products/pdf2id/

Acrobat will not allow you to extract the embedded font. It is probably protected by font manufacturer.

You should purchase the font.

This has absolutely nothing to do with InDesign.

Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner
