How can I convert a Pages document into PDF or RTF?

I have been asked to send a Pages document to PC users in RTF or PDF format. How can I get my Pages document to convert into other formats for PC people?
Is that what the export feature is supposed to do? I just don't know how to sent my document via e-mail to non-Apple conputers!

You didn’t indicate whether you are using Pages ’09 v4.+ or the latest Pages v5(.2) release. To send an email with either Word or PDF attachment from within Pages:
Pages ’09 v4+
Pages menubar > Share (category Send via Mail) > (select Word (.doc) or PDF). Mail will launch into a compose window with the document already attached.
Pages v5+
Pages toolbar > Share > Send a Copy > Email > (select Word (.doc/x) or PDF - best). Mail will behave as above.
Note: Either version of Pages is not an MS Word clone and it must translate content into the Microsoft document architecture. If you must have maximum Word document accuracy, you will need Office for Mac 2011, and the associated MS Word application that produces native .docx format.
Backup your work.

How can i convert a .indd file into pdf

please help on this
How can i convert .indd file to pdf file using .net c#
please share some code sample for a better help

Hi there,
There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
7. Select the file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share from the file context menu.
8. Select Allow Anyone With A Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is copied onto the clipboard.
9. Open the HTML file and paste the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type that you can convert to PDF.
Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

How can I combine multiple Pages documents into one using iPad?

Hello all,

Thank you

copy paste is the only way to do it on a pad - document by document.

How do I convert a Pages document to pdf on the iPad?

Does anyone know if there is an app that allows you to do this? I have to create a document in pages, create a pdf of the document, then email it to several addresses. Seems like there ought to be a way to accomplish this on the iPad, and not go to my laptop.

When you click on the Share icon in the top right corner of Pages, it will ask you how you want to share...
Share Link via iCloud
Send a Copy
Open in Another App
You said you wanted to e-mail it, so select Send a Copy. Select Mail. Now it will ask you for a file format, so select PDF.
That's it. Just type in the names of the e-mail recipients and you're good to go.
If you want to send the document as a non-CC type e-mail message, and BCC won't work because you need to have a custom body in the e-mail, then you can download most any PDF app. iBooks is an Apple based one and it's free. Instead of selecting Send a Copy, select Open in Another App. Now select your format as PDF. Select Choose App. Tap on iBooks or whatever. Now you can send the PDF from iBooks instead.

How can I convert a Pages document to a jpeg file?

I need to convert a design I created in Pages into either a jpeg file or creat an "object" out of the design. I can't figure out how to do either one. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi Susan,
1. I think that there was a missing comma in Peter's reply:
Copy your design switch to Preview .app go command n and your design becomes a pdf.
Copy your design[,] [and then] switch to Preview .app go command n and your design becomes a pdf.
2. In your reply: couldn't find Preview. app.
On my Mac, Preview is listed in Launchpad, and also in Finder > Applications folder.
Thank you posting a reply.
Regards,
Ian.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?

> How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word. I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ). Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver. Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

How can I convert an email in a PDF document?

How can I convert an email in a PDF document?

There is no "system solution" that turns an e-mail into a PDF file. In other words, it's not a functionality of the iOS. And there are some apps around that say they turn some documents into PDF files, but in every app that does that, I've never seen one that does so for the entire e-mail itself, but only for the "text" of the e-mail (which won't include the "to" and "from").
BUT, you can get part of the e-mail through a screen shot and you can get more of the e-mail by going "portrait" style and not "landscape". Then after getting the screen shot, you can turn that into a PDF file by those apps I was referring to up above,

How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

Try this.
Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
Save it with a new name.
Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

A year later...same question: How can I get a Pages document embedded ???

How can I get a Pages document embedded into an email? (so that the recipient sees it immediately and does NOT have to open a PDF). Although I know a PDF is universal and would allow anyone (mac or not) to open, read and see my business newsletter, I want it to be instantaneous for viewing. So, which leads me to a question I've kicked around for a year now on this discussion board. How do I turn a Pages doc into html for email purposes? If there isn't a way with Pages, How about with Word (the newest version) for Mac? Someone has to know this art, I receive emails like this all the time, probably from Apple! ha ha .
Please help!

In Mail.app, single page PDF are directly readable so you may try to
print your page #1 in a PDF
then
print your page #2 in a PDF
and so on.

As Apple removed the export to html feature, I assume that it's no to reintroduce it one day

Converting a pages document into a .jpg image for web

I am trying to convert a pages document into a .jpg image for uploading to idisk. When I drag to iphoto, then export, the image is really small even when I use the large size on the jpg photo export. Is there an easy way to do this..... I am trying to upload it to idisk then link it to craigslist.
Help! It worked a couple of months ago!
Thanks
John

A better way (I think) is to export or Print your Pages document as a PDF & open that PDF in Preview. Use the selection tool to select the area you want. You can crop & save as .jpg, but I recommend going to the File menu in Preview & choosing New From Clipboard to make a new file. This is because some programs, Pages in particular, will always "see" the unselected area & paste the whole thing. I also suggest using .png rather than .jpg. .jpg is a "lossy" format, .png will be much clearer.
