Newsletter in Pages '08

I have created a 3 page newsletter that I want to send out to my email contacts. First of all, can the newsletter be combined from a 3 page document into a single continuous document with no page breaks? This would be an easier format to read by the recipients. Second of all, is there a way to have the PDF newsletter show up in the email already opened? Right now I send it as an attachment and the recipient must double click on the Adobe icon to open it. Any ideas would be appreciated!

With Pages, a document is always treated as a multi pages one.

As PeterBreis0807 wrote, it depends of the used Mail application. Some display the PDF in the message body, some requires a double click. It's not related to the program which created the PDF file.

  • 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.

  • HELP I created a newsletter from Pages - sent it out - those with PC's cannot open.  What do I do?

    I'm new to all this MAC system.  I created a newsletter on Pages, sent it out and now getting emails saying no one can open it.  DId I save it wrong?  What to do?  Thanks   Rick

    You probably left it as a Pages document, which is only readable on Macs. Export as Word or (much better) PDF using the File - Export menu.

  • Newsletter Template / Page set up for print

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of creating a template for a newsletter, and am not sure how best to start with formating this template so it will be suitable for sending to a printers for a run of about 500 copies each time.
    The newsletter will be A4 in size, and will consist of about 12 pages each issue.
    Does that mean that I would create an A3 Pages document, and apply 2 pages of the newsletter to this, so it can be folded to create an A4 'book'?  Can Pages deal with auto page numbers like this?  Or am I pushing it too far?
    Or, perhaps, should I just be creating each page on a single A4 page, and the printers will be able to produce the printed newsletter from this?
    I know Pages isn't an ellaborate DTP application, but we're using it so it can be easily used by someone in our organisation.
    Any advice much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    c

    Number one rule of commercial printing:
    Speak to your printer BEFORE you do anything.
    Your printer will tell you what their requirements are.
    That almost certainly is not a Pages document and usually is not imposed.
    Normally these days it is a pdf file in a format acceptable to the Printer, which is not easy with Pages/OSX.
    1. Pages/OSX does not produce pdfs conforming with the PDF/X standard required for commercial offset or digital printing
    2. Pages does not have bleeds or crop marks. You will have to construct those in oversize sheets (add an extra 10mm all round to do this)
    3. Pages does not have slugs to aid the printer in accurately positioning and controlling the printed sheets, you can add your own or find prebuilt pdfs or leave it to the Printer's imposition software to add.
    4. Pages/OSX does not use spot colors if you need those, but will let you add pdf elements that contain spot colors. This will produce more than the standard 4 cmyk plates, but not less.
    5. Pages/OSX reduce all transparency (other than vector) to an unacceptably low 72dpi when converting to pdf. This affects 3D graphs, shadows, reflections, Alpha Masks and bitmaps marked with less than 100% opacity or overlapping objects which have less than 100% opacity.
    6. Pages does not manage either resolution or cmyk well. Although this can be overcome with a great deal of manual work, it is very easy to miss exceptions and make mistakes because Pages does not flag problems nor allow systematic use of named accurate color samples/profiles.
    A great many of the problems are due to the way has Pages been written but many others are due to what Apple has done/not done with OSX. There is other low cost software such as Swift Publisher which overcomes most (but not all) of the problems either internally or countering those in OSX.
    The usual tools of the trade that do deliver accurate Print ready PDFs are Adobe Indesign and Quark Xpress. Both are expensive and require knowledge and skill to achieve accurate results.
    It is normal to vet a pdf file through a program like Acrobat Pro to check for errors so that you can correct them before go to the very expensive press run.
    There is only one low cost easy to use software that I currently know of that truly delivers on accurate commercial printing, that is Serif PagePlus X7 and unfortunately that is not available for OSX, but you can use it on a Mac running Windows in emulation.

    There is a website of a Pages user who has also written a book on how to use Pages for commercial print. Unfortunately I have had a good look at what he has written and, whilst he means well, he is that most dangerous, but popular, of advisors, one who knows a little bit more than those who know nothing. He tells the innocent user what they would like to hear, not what they need to know.

  • Creating a newsletter in pages and send email

    I want to be able to send directly from pages a newsletter that I created in pages via mail.  Is that possible?

    Pages > Share > Send via Email > PDF  is one way.

  • Can I make a professional e-newsletter using Pages?

    I am trying to make a professional e-newsletter to send to my clients using the Pages program. I do not want to send as PDF files. I want the page/newsletter to be directly read in the body of the e-mail. I was wondering if I could just send an HTML e-mail newsletter with active hyperlinks (PDF kills the links) like the various ones I receive from professional organizations. I tried using pages and iWeb to "mail contents of this page" from a temporary newsletter webpage but this a round-about way and cannot be read/viewed by everyone.
    Should I just purchase a third party program instead?
    Thank you!

    I just found a very easy, very simple trick that will do this exactly for you and it's free:
    1) Create your eNewsletter in HTML
    2) Open the HTML document in Safari
    3) File > Mail Contents Of This Page
    Works like a charm! If that doesn't work for you, then I suggest a third-party software application. I used to use one, but the name escapes me right now. Hope that helps.

  • Can I create an A3 Newsletter using Pages?

    I am using Gimp to do this but it not easy to generate the page.
    It would be more easy to do this using Pages... if it was possible?
    Is there any tutorial explaining how to generate such a Newsletter?
    A3 folded makes a 4 pages A4 final format.
    Thank you,
    Vincent

    Hi Vincent,
    Menu > File > Page Setup...
    To see this:
    Click on Paper Size (but my printer only goes up to A4, not A3)
    Good luck!
    Regards,

  • How do I create an HTML newsletter using pages?

    I browsed pages and really liked the different templates in there. I then created a newsletter and uploaded to my server, sent me the message using newsletter manager basic, and all I got was a bunch of giberish and could not see the pics. Not sure what i need to do, so the newsletter I created in pages becomes an html message. I've done it with word by saving as *.html, but how do I do that in pages?

    Get a copy of Pages '05. It will turn your newletter into HTML. It does not work properly with Leopard (it works fine with Panther, don't know about Tiger), but it is still usable for exporting to HTML. Here is what I do:(1) create my page in Pages '08 ('09 will probably work in this, but have not yet tried it), (2) when you are ready for HTML, select all, copy, then paste into a blank Pages '05 window. If your doc is more than one page long, only the first page will show. All the rest of the pages will show up on your screen as battleship gray. DON'T WORRY. Just go ahead and export into HTML and ALL of your pages will be rendered into HTML. It is messy code and you will have to clean it up a bit, but it sure beats starting from scratch with an HTML editor.

  • How to mass email a newsletter from Pages?

    I will be creating a weekly newsletter for an elementary school & need to mass email it to about 500 recipients.  Can I do that directly from Pages or do I need some sort of service to do it for me (like where people subscribe to receive it)?  Also, should I convert it to PDF?

    Note that most e-mail providers put limits on the number of recipients you can send mail to per day and in a single message, as a means to prevent spam.  500 is probably at or above that limit in most cases.  You'll want to talk to your school techs about this sort of thing, as they may be able to provide assistance for this sort of thing.  If not, you'll want to break this down into smaller groups and send them over time, or use the web-based interface of a GMail account, which will allow you a maximum of 500 recipients in one message.
    Once you've worked out how you're going to send it, you just have to export to PDF and attach it to the e-mail message.

  • Create newsletter with Pages and send out via mail (not attachement)?

    I have a question: I have created a newsletter in Iworks Pages. How can I send this out via mail as a newsletter ? So not as an attachment? I know Microsoft Publisher can do it with 1 click, but I don't want to move to MSFT. Please let me know, I also have Indesign etc. Createion of the newsletter is easy with my Apple, but then it stops....and gets worse the MSFT....

    As far as I know, only single page PDFs will appear directly in the mail and they will do only in some mail applications.
    No it is multipage. Can't test for all appliactions but it was both sent and received on my system/Mail as the 3 pages in the document.
    In other apps and always if the PDF contain several pages, it will be an attachment : what was rejected by the OP.
    When Helena Rubenstein arrived in Australia she first worked in David Jones, our version of Harrods.
    A woman approached another salesperson and asked "Do you have a brown cashmere top?"
    To which the salesperson replied "Sorry no madam"
    Helena stepped in and asked "Would madam like a blue or black one instead?" and made the sale to the lady who wanted a top. It seemed that was more important than none at all.
    There is a lesson to be learnt from this.

  • I saved a newsletter in pages but cannot find it

    I was working on a pages newsletter and saved each page as I wrote it but now I cannot find it.  Where would it have been saved?

    Chances are you accidentally saved it into your System Library if you have used Spotlight but can not find it.
    What did you call it?
    Try EasyFind [free] it is slower but looks everywhere.

  • How do I print a newsletter in Pages?

    I have read many Q & As about printing booklets and that Cocoa Booklet is the best way to go. I would like to print a newsletter on 11X17 paper. I used one of the newsletter templates to create a Homeowners Association newsletter. I tried to print 2 (8.5X11) pages side by side on the 11X17 paper and it shrinks each page to 4.5X6.25. I tried using Cocoa, but it seems to only make small booklets. How can I keep each page 8.5X11 and print 2 pages side by side on the front side of the paper and 2 pages side by side on the back side of the paper. Thanks

    I did a search and found this which seemed right on the money.
    Use Cocoa Booklet to create a booklet with any number of pages (best in a multiple of 4). Create your Pages document in Letter-size as normal & then Export the Pages document to a PDF. Launch Cocoa Booklet & open its Preferences. In Paper Size set the Paper Format to "Personnalisé" with the Width 17 x Height 11 (measuring unit is set in a drop-down menu at the lower left of this preference window. Leave the default margins. In the Destination preference, select Yes for Add a suffix? to avoid overwriting your original PDF & click Save. The choices in the Options preferences are all left unchecked for your tabloid-size document. Then drag the PDF to the icon of Cocoa Booklet to will create a new PDF in booklet form.
    I think I followed it exactly. I still printed 2 pages side by side that measured 4.5X6.25 not 2 pages that measure 8.5 by 11. I must be doing something wrong. I have spent all day working on it. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Newsletter Blank Page

    Have used Pages exclusively since beginning for word processing with blank page and for 4-page monthly newsletter using my template modified from program template. Requires numerous drills setting up newsletter. Would be much easier and less time consuming to start with "blank" newsletter page like with word processor.
    I wonder if silicon valley gurus considered a blank Newsletter page like is offered with Word Processor? Probably not for a single Pages user who wants to simplify the process. Dumb question.
    Meanwhile I'll conjure up a Pages blank newsletter template.
    Just curious and don't want to interrupt Dennis and Peggy solving serious problems. But, in keeping with mood of country for "Change", thought I'd stir the pot. Regards and Thanks. Ol' Jim.

    Hey Jim,
    If you've been doing a 4-page monthly newsletter for four years, you're probably way ahead of me, but I'm wondering about what you are looking for and why. It seems to me that, in the limit, the Blank Page Layout would fit your need, but it wouldn't be much like a newsletter yet. The placeholders, both text and graphic, give the novice a head start. For your needs, I think the Help topic: "Creating Placeholders in Custom Templates" would lead you down a good path, using the logic that the format you have developed over the years would put you ahead of starting with a blank.
    Really just curious.

  • My newsletter in pages has 2 blank pages 5 and 6.  I cannot delete them without deleting pages 3 and 4. Help

    My newsletter has 4 pages that I want to keep.  Somehow, it added page 5 and 6.  When I try to delete them, the program deletes page 4 as well.
    I need help.  Everything I read does not work.

    Hi bb,
    What template did you use to create your newsletter? Word Processing or Page Layout?
    Menu > View > Page Thumbnails. Click on a Thumbnail. Are several pages surrounded by a yellow border? If so, they are all in one Section. Deleting one thumbnail will delete the whole Section (pages 4, 5 and 6).
    Go to Menu > Insert
    If the first Menu Item is Sections, you have a Word Processing document. Delete the content of a page, not the thumbnail of a page
    Do you have any Section Breaks?
    Menu > View > Show Invisibles to see Section Breaks, blank paragraphs etc. that might be causing a new (unwanted) page.
    If this does not help, please reply with more details.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How do you print a newsletter in "pages" on 11 x 17 paper double sided?

    I am trying to print a newsletter that I entered into "pages". I need it to print pages 1,3,5,7 on one 11 x 17 paper and then print pages 2,4,6,8.

    Some printers have a print odd or even numbered pages setting. See if yours does. Do a ⌘ + P and select 'paper handling from the pull down menu to see if your printer has this feature.
