How do I convert a iWork 08 pages doc to a pdf or Word doc ?

I have an iWork 08 pages document that I wish to e-mail to a general dist. list. So I want to convert the doc to a pdf or Word file so the list can read it.
Must I purchase iWork 09 to do this  by either;
  1)   opening the 08 doc in iWork 09 pages, then converting to pdf ?
   2) or,  opening the 08 doc in iWork 09 pages, then open the 09 converted pages doc in Office for Mac 2010, Word to produce a Word doc?
Thanks for any help.

Peter, Jerry:
  Thanks for your elegant solutions.
I am going to buy iWork 09 for all our offices, and use iWork 09 because we can upload iWork 09 stuff from our iPads to iCloud and then downLoad the doc's to   different offices to complete the doc's and format them. 
The existence of iCloud is going to cause us to abandon all our old Office software and standrize with iWork.
Only wish we could upload iWork 09 docs to iCloud from iMacs, but maybe that will be possible in the future.
Any way, bye, bye Word & Excel ...
Paul

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

    Here you are in a forum dedicated to Pages for OSX.
    Most of us don't use Pages for iOS.
    Better ask in the iWork for iOS forum :

    Hello:
    Open Pages.  Go to the menu bar>file>export.  Select PDF.  The size of the file should be irrelevant.

    Hi lorrelaws,
    Do you receive that error when you try to sign in via Reader? If so, try signing in via the web interface. Did that do the trick?
    Let us know how it goes.

  • How do I convert a power point document to a pdf where it will show the notes for each slide?

    How do I convert a power point document to a pdf where it will show the notes for each slide?

    To get the 'handout view' with a slide and the speaker notes on the same page, you have to save the PDF file directly from PowerPoint (the later versions of Microsoft Office can make PDF files without the help of Acrobat).

  • How do I convert a web based file to a PDF file?

    How do I convert a web based file to a PDF file? I know that you "Print to File" but for some reason that is not working for me.  I have Adobe Reader X, shouldn't that be able to create a PDF like this, or is there another program that I need to do this?  Thanks.

    Hi, gfrerichs.
    Reader X cannot create a PDF file - it can only view and print existing PDF files.
    In order to create a PDF file (for example, print a webpage as a PDF, as you mentioned), you can purchase our CreatePDF service. This service includes a CreatePDF Printer which can print web pages to PDF.
    Or you could purchase Acrobat, which can also convert webpages to PDF.

  • Can i convert pdf to word doc for free?

    With Adobe XI, it appears that i can convert a pdf to word doc for free, at least that is what the help page shows. However, when i try to convert the document i am led to a subscription page for this to function to be available. It's not expensive,but it is very misleading.

    There is a 30-day trial for Acrobat, but not sure it can convert to WORD (though I think it can). The full product can. However, be aware that conversion from PDF to DOCX varys depending on the way the PDF was created. If properly created, the conversion may be almost exact, but more commonly there format issues and such to deal with. There are also different conversion selections that give options to retain text flow versus layout. If you are looking for perfection, then don't be surprised when you don't get it.

    Hi Cowandmoon,
    From within Adobe Reader, could you try opening Adobe Reader XI and choosing Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Reader > Preferences (Mac), then select 'Adobe Online Services' from the left-hand side.  Click 'Sign Out...', then sign back in with your Adobe ID and password.
    After this is completed, try choosing the Tools pane again from within Reader to see if you can access your subscription.
    Please let us know how it goes!
    Thanks,
    David
