   Hi @lgautier, thanks for the report. It looks like the issue is that the 
conversion routine this uses doesn't support `uint32` indices:
   
   
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/c170af41ba0c30b80aa4172da0b3637206368cf2/r/src/array_to_vector.cpp#L593-L603
   
   As a workaround until this feature is added, you should be able to `cast()` 
to a similar type but with int32 indices so long as your indices can be 
contained within an int32:
   
   ```r
   ar_df$foo$cast(dictionary(index_type = int32(), value_type = 
large_utf8()))$as_vector()
   ```
   
   The pure arrow reproducer for this is,
   
   ```r
   Array$create(factor(c("x", "y", "z")))$cast(dictionary(index_type = 
uint32(), value_type = large_utf8()))
   ```
