  • Making a PDF with "Outline" and Bookmarks Using Pages

    Hi, I'm using Pages 1 and I have tried making a PDF with outline breaks but I failed. I thought using paragraph styles for my document would work but when I exported my document to PDF, all I got was a PDF that only has the thumbnails view but not the outline view. Also, when I exported my document that has bookmarks to PDF, all the bookmarks don't work anymore. How can I make a PDF document using Pages with all the bookmarks and the organization just like other PDFs that I encounter? Thanks

    Hello LadyinStilettos,
    welcome to the Pages Discussions. If I remember correct, in Pages 1.x there is no way to export text links to PDF. An outline view creation doesn't exist.
    If you want to have links in PDF (of the TOC, too), then you should upgrade to iWork'06. But outline view doesn't exist here like it doesn't in version 1.x.

  • High Virtual memory usage when using Pages 2.0.2

    Hey there,
    I was just wondering whether there had been any other reports of unusually high memory usage when using Pages 2.0.2, specifically Virtual memory. I am running iWork 06 on the Mac listed below and Pages has been running really slowly recently. I checked the Activity Monitor and Pages is using hardly any Physical memory but loads of Virtual memory (so much so that the Page outs are almost as high as the Page ins (roughly 51500 page ins / 51000 page outs).
    Any known problems, solutions or comments for this problem? Thanks in advance

    I don't know if this is specifically what you're seeing, but all Cocoa applications, such as Pages, have an effectively infinite Undo. If you have any document that you've been working on for a long time without closing, that could be responsible for a large amount of memory usage.
    While it's good practice to save on a regular basis, if you're making large amounts of changes it's also a good idea to close and reopen your document every once in awhile, simply to clear the undo. I've heard of some people seeing sluggish behavior after working on a document for several days, which cleared up when the document was closed and reopened.

  • How to create a watermark in Pages?

    I seem to remember there was a process by which an image could be use to create a watermark in pages but there is no longer anything in Help.  Is this still available?

    SG,
    Text Wrap:
    In the Wrap Inspector, with an object selected, you can select "Object causes wrap". The option causes the object to push text out of its way. You are telling me that you don't want this, so make sure the option is turned off.
    Background:
    The background layer is behind the text layer. If you want your objects (graphics, text boxes, shapes) to obscure the text that you type normally, leave the objects on top. If you would like to have the text overlay the objects, then send the objects to the Background.
    Section Master:
    Giving an object Section Master status causes it to repeat on every page of the section. That's every page of the document for most people since the average user doesn't make use of Section Breaks. I asked if your documents had more than 1-page, but I don't think you responded.
    Registration:
    You say you just want to type away on the text layer and have things line up with your background template. Good luck with that. You are going to have terrible problems with the pitch of your text matching the scale of your background object. You may be ok at the top, but by the time you get to the bottom of the page the chances are you will be off a half a line. Better to use Text Boxes and align each one with the appropriate region of the template.
    Dexterity:
    There are ways to deal with eye-hand coordination and steadiness issues. Objects can be shifted by using the arrow keys and they can be sized and positioned by using the Metrics Inspector. And, remember that you only have to do the tedious stuff once. After that, Save as Template
    The biggest problem I have with the new-fangled machines is that they are designed by kids with better vision than I will ever have again. They have no idea how much trouble us old guys have seeing the menus and instructions. The Mac App Store is one of the worst examples, where you can't even resize the text. The universal access tools for the vision impaired in System Preferences don't help me because I can't stand the look, or the loss of font smoothing. For critical work I reluctantly put on the strongest reading glasses and lower my nose to the screen.
    Good luck,
    Jerry

  • Working on making a book using lightroom 5

    Working on making a book using lightroom 5 and printing with blurb.com.   My question is pertaining to the cover of book.  I have two images full bleed and text on the spine.  I can see that I can add an image to spine also so its not just a plain color.  But does anyone know how to be able to zoom or move image on spine.  I basically want the back or front image to bleed right over spine.  But there is no option I have seen to do this.  Its pretty basic book layout stuff.  Why does it seem that lightroom does not do it.

    You cannot put an image on the spine. The spine has a text box only, and you cannot put images into a text box.
    The only way to have (part of) an image showing on the spine is when you select the two-page spread for the cover. Then the image extends from left to right and goes over the spine.
    For page-layout - and that includes the cover - you have to select one of the templates. There is no template with an image on the spine - except the full bleed.
    Apart from that, I think it's wise not to put an image on the spine. The text - that is necessarily small - can be hard to read if it is on top of an image.

  • Making & Burning Slideshow using 'slideshow' at bottom of iPhoto Library?

    Hello. I would appreciate if someone can help me from beginning to finished product of making a slideshow using for example the Snapshot effect and music from iTunes.
    I will go over in point form to the point where I am unable to proceed any further:
    1--I select pictures in iPhoto.
    2--I click on 'slideshow' at the bottom of the iPhoto page.
    3--I click on 'themes' and select 'snapshots'.
    4--I click on the iTunes icon in slideshow and choose music.
    This is as far as I have been able to go as I dont see anything that
    will allow me to transfer this to DVD.
    I am making a 100th birthday slideshow and hope someone can assist me on this. Thanks.

    Go to the Share menu at the top and select the iDVD option. When you've completed the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.
    This will separate the encoding process from the burning process. Mount the disk image and play it with DVD Player. If it plays OK the encoding was good. Now burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed possible to get the best quality burn.

  • Upgraded, and now my original serial number won't work, can't use pages!

    Hi everyone --
    I recently upgraded my hard drive in my ibook g4, and backed everything up to an external hard drive. I've since transferred everything back, including iwork '05. Now I open pages and it asks me for the serial number...only thing is, I didn't keep the original box/book w/ serial numbers, and only have it written on a slip of paper -- I entered it, and it's not right! It's a series of 5sets of numbers/letters (QMMH-6CDS-etc.etc.). Do you think if I call apple they'll give me another one? If not, how the heck can I obtain a new serial number so I can use pages again? This is so frustrating...Thanks!

    Laura,
    I'm sorry you're having problems. iWork '05 was infamous for making some serial numbers difficult to enter. Make sure you properly distinguish between zeros and ohs. Zeros will have a dot in the center. Also make sure you enter a one and not a small L. They look very similar. Use the hyphens. Don't use the Caps Lock key.
    Finally, don't ever throw out package materials that have serial numbers on them.

    Can you add a watermark to pages and if so how?

    Hi Grant,
    See Page 63 of the  Pages'09 User Guide. (Download from the Pages Help Menu)
    Using  Master  Objects  (Repeated  Background  Images)
    You may want to add watermarks, logos, or other background images that appear in the same spot on every page of your word processing documents. These repeated graphics are called master  objects.

  • Watermarks with Pages

    I am not able to figure out how to add a picture watermark onto a Pages template. I can readily drag a picture from my iPhoto library and incorporate it into a Pages template and write text around it. This isn't what I am looking for. I'd like to have the picture appear "behind" the text I write as a subtle, faded background image,i.e. a watermark, while I type my passage "on top" of the picture.
    How to do this?
    Thanks kindly .
    ~ john

    John,
    It's surprisingly easy. Put your image on the page, then (using the Wrap inspector) make sure it's defined as Fixed on Page, and uncheck Object Causes Wrap. Position and size it to your liking. Click on the Graphic inspector, then adjust the opacity slider so that the object fades enough so that you can see text over it. Click on Arrange > Send Backward. That's it. It's even easier using Pages 3.
    By the way, if you want the watermark to repeat on every page, define it as a master object.
    -Dennis

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD3.  I can see see it...the icon is till there but when I tap it to open it, I get kicked out of pages.   Tried rebooting  and I can open other documents, but not this one.  Any ideas?

    I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD 3.  All of a sudden I can no longer open that document.   When I click on it, it throws me out of pages all together.  I can open other pages documents, but not that one.  It is very frustrating to be able to SEE the file, but not open it.
    I rebooted and I do have icloud back-up on but am not sure how to restore an older version.  I also made sure there are no updates for pages.   Until the IPAD I used a home PC which I still have but am trying to wean myself off of.  I wish now I had used MS Publisher on my PC for the newsletter even though I hate it.   
    Please don't tell me I have lost my Newsletter and 20 hours worth of work.  

    Try resetting your iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    I'm assuming your default is to save Pages documents to iCloud, and that you had a good WiFi connection when you closed Pages the last time you tried to save the document.

  • I have a mac air and an iMac and both have Pages. I use Pages on my air and save all documents to iCloud. I can see them on my iMac but it won't open with Pages. It becomes visible if I change it to open with preview but I can't interact with it.

    I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both.  I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it  - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from  any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it  ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough  - or maybe it's me?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • I use pages to draft forms that i repeatedly use in my business.  Last week i drafted a legal document and saved to my file. now i get message that it won't open without newer version of pages but i have the latest version  whats up??

    I use pages to draft forms that i repeatedly edit and use in my business.  Ex:  letterhead, envelopes, and legal forms.  I recently drafted a legal form
    for a client.  saved it and then reopened and printed the next day.  now when i try to open that form, ( or letterhead or envelope) i get a message that
    it wont open and that i need a newer version of pages.  but my pages software is up to date.   Whats up with this??

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
