Export Adobe Illustrator files to InDesign as full editable document

Hi everyone,

I often had to move layouts from Adobe Illustrator to InDesign, and I tried different PDF-to-InDesign / Illustrator-to-InDesign conversion tools.

The main problem wasn't that they "didn't work". The result just had too much junk: masks, fragments, backgrounds, decorative objects, duplicates. All technically imported, but useless for editing.

Instead of saving time, I'd spend hours cleaning up garbage manually.

So I made my own CEP extension: Export Illustrator to InDesign.

Key idea - controlled workflow:
- Export editable text from Illustrator
- Export ONLY selected graphics as linked PSD/EPS
- Auto-create clean InDesign document
- Optional: split wide artboards into pages

You decide what goes in. No blind imports, no mess.

Ever dealt with this cleanup nightmare?
