Thanks for the compliments, and great question! For launch, we have not delved deeply into the bowels of InDesign's format so it's not definitively off the table -- just a prioritization of resources for now.

With Lucidchart, we are the only diagramming app that imports Microsoft Visio's native file format...so it's not unprecedented for us to tackle these types of things.

A "compromise" might be allowing uploading of a PDF doc and allow the user to specify text boxes, etc. and effectively convert the PDF into a LucidPress doc that can be used from then on.

Just an idea. Thanks for listening
