I will recreate PDF or illustrator layouts in editable adobe indesign
About this Gig
Lost the editable source of a PDF or Illustrator publication?
I'm Dmitrii Fadeev of PHOTO-123, a print-media designer since 1998. I rebuild suitable existing layouts in Adobe InDesign for future editing and print production.
This is layout reconstruction, not a redesign or a promise of one-click conversion. I recreate editable text frames, styles, page structure and standard tables while matching the supplied design as closely as the source permits.
Deliverables: INDD, IDML, an agreed PDF export and a package with available linked assets. Photographs remain image files; not every embedded graphic becomes editable vector artwork. Fonts are supplied only when licensing allows.
Please send your PDF, AI file or representative scans through Fiverr before ordering. Clear sources and available text, fonts and images give the best result.
Packages cover 1 simple page, 4 standard pages or 8 standard pages after review. Poor scans, dense technical tables, manual retyping, missing assets and new artwork need a custom quote. Unreadable or protected files may be unsuitable.

FAQ
Is this automatic PDF conversion?
No. I assess the source and reconstruct the agreed layout in InDesign, checking text flow, spacing, styles and tables. The amount of manual work depends on the original document.
Can you work from scans or incomplete files?
Sometimes. Send representative scans and all available assets. Legibility, resolution, page density and missing text determine feasibility and price. Heavy manual retyping or poor scans are not covered by the standard packages. Unreadable, access-protected or unauthorized material is unsuitable.
Will the result be identical to the original?
I aim for a close visual match within the agreed scope. Exact matching depends on fonts, original images and source quality. I discuss substitutions or unavoidable differences before starting; I do not promise pixel-perfect reconstruction of every PDF.
Will everything become editable?
Text, agreed tables and layout elements are rebuilt for editing. Photographs stay linked raster images. Logos, complex diagrams, outlined text and embedded artwork may remain graphics unless separately agreed for reconstruction.
What files will I receive?
INDD, IDML, a PDF exported to the agreed specifications and a package with available linked assets. Fonts are included only when redistributable. Tell me your InDesign version; exact compatibility of advanced features must be checked.
What if fonts or images are missing?
Supply the original licensed fonts and images when possible. If they are unavailable, I can discuss approved substitutions or reuse extractable assets at their existing quality. Buying assets or rebuilding complex illustrations is not included.
What does a revision include?
One consolidated list of corrections within the approved source, page count and reconstruction brief. A new document, extra pages or a redesign is additional work. Corrections to my own mistakes are included.
