Illustrator loses gradient fills from PDFs, generated in InDesign
We have an issue with an InDesign PDF Press Quality opened in Illustrator...
Our InDesign file is OK. The PDF PRESS exported from InDesign is OK.
Both are showing a gradient type below the black type and print well on our XEROX proofer (see file PDF from InDesign).
When we open this PDF PRESS in Illustrator, the gradient type below the black type disappear (see file PDF from InDesign opened in Illustrator).
We tried with regular type and outlined type in InDesign. Same results.
PDF Press is also attached.
The workaround was to export the InDesign file as an EPS file.
Can you fix it on the next update? Or the gradient was too complicated for Illustrator?
Let us know. Thanks!

I have this problem too! Gradient made in InDesign looks great in PDF, but when I sent file to a signmaker and he opened it in Illustrator and gradient is gone... type is an un-filled outline. (see attached)

Glad to know I'm not the only one... No answer whatsoever from Adobe since May 2018...
