PDF is primarily a "final form" document format, not an "editable" document format. Generally, it no longer carries the context of the original content. Thus, PDF is normally created from editable document formats, not vice versa.

PDF content is often placed within an InDesign file, although that content is static; it cannot be edited (other than scaling, rotation, cropping, etc.) in InDesign.

To get editable content from a PDF file, you might want to save as a Word document within Acrobat and then import same into InDesign. You will probably need to do significant editing to get "matching" results.
