Can't read Appleworks documents

Great--I just got a new computer (minus Appleworks) How can I read .cwk documents? Are they just toast?
I just downloaded iMovie HD so I can use it in addition to iMovie 08. Can I download Appleworks to use it to open old stuff?
Is there any applications I can use? Most of my documents are word processing.

No, you can't download AppleWorks legally. You will need to purchase it. But, AppleWorks 6.2.4 & 6.2.9 run very well on all Macs running OS X, including Leopard.
Pages, part of iWork, can open AppleWorks 6 word processing documents. Also, AppleWorks 6 spreadsheets & presentations can be opened by Numbers & Keynote, the other applications in iWork '08.

Reading AppleWorks documents on a PC

I thought Apple computers and PC's were completely compatible. Is there any way I can read Apple Works documents on a PC? I'm running Windows XP with Office Word 2003 and it can not read my documents from OS X.4.5 / Apple Works.

Word 2003 can open AppleWorks word processing documents, but you will get a lot of garbage text at the beginning & end of the document. All of the text will be there but it will loose all formatting. There is no program for the PC that can open any other AppleWorks file type except AppleWorks for Windows.

How can I read a document created under "pages" on a Mac book air on an other computer

How can I read a document created under "pages" on a Mac book air on an other computer or even send this document in a mail to anyone ?

Only Pages, Preview, Pages for iCloud beta, and Pages v2 or later on IOS 7 can open native Pages v5.2.2 (.pages) documents. Sending a Pages v5.2.2 document to someone without Pages v5.2.2 is futile.
If you are using Gmail or Dropbox, you will need to right-click on that Pages document, and then choose compress from the contextual menu. You can then attach filename.pages.zip, because it appears as a single document, and not a folder.
Pages v5.2.2 has a Share button on the Toolbar. Providing your document is already in iCloud storage, you can Send a Link to iCloud via the following:
The Share toolbar icon also allows you to Send a Copy to Email, Messages, and AirDrop. This will present you with the document export sheet, the same one you get if you chose to File > Export To menu item, as the alternative.
If you are sharing document content with an MS Office user, then the document you want to send them is either a Word .docx, or .doc. If they want just a read-only view of your content, send a PDF, for improved cross-platform exchange.

Can iWorks Open AppleWorks Documents?

Can iWorks open an AppleWorks word processing document?
Can iWorks open an AppleWorks database? Does it import it into an iWorks spreadsheet?
I want to open my AppleWorks-based mail merge documents without having to convert them to Microsoft Office.
Thanks.

The iWork (no 's') applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.
The third-party application, EazyDraw, can open AppleWorks draw documents. If you still have access to AppleWorks you can copy the contents of draw documents, paste them into an AppleWorks word processing document in object mode (click the arrow in the tool panel), save the WP document & then open it in Pages. You can copy & paste from AppleWorks to Pages but you would have to do it object by object or it will be one big uneditable object.
There is nothing other than AppleWorks that can open paint or database documents. Database data can be copied & pasted into an AppleWorks spreadsheet, saved & opened in Numbers or saved as ASCII/plain text & opened in most any spreadsheet, database or word processing program. Pages can merge from an Numbers spreadsheet or AddressBook. Since copying & pasting from database to spreadsheet won't copy & paste the column titles, you will need to enter them manually & then define that row as a header row in Numbers in order to use it for merging with Pages.
Paint documents can be saved as one of many different formats to be opened in most image editing programs. I recommend using PICT for best results.

How can I read pdf documents from SD card

Is it (or will it be) possible to read pdf documents from SD card in Windows Phone 8?
Thanks

Yes, it is possible. You can create even a folder on SD card and put in it the pdf's. It is working on my lumia 620 with Adobe reader 10.3 version.. You insert the SD in the phone, connect the phone to the computer and you will see the phone and the SD under it.
More....
You drag your pdf's on the SD card. when you open the Adobe reader on the phone you go to the documents and here they are (with a small card icon near the document which shows you that the file is on the SD card.

The downloaded (to Word) document is all black, with some colors - can't read.....??????

Good day,
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. If you haven't already done so, could you fill out the File Conversion Issue Form and share some more information with us? Perhaps we can provide some insight about what happened.

Can't Read PDF Documents

I had Adobe Reader 8 installed this past wknd on my office computer and although I can open my pdf files, I can't read any of the text. I've scrolled through other topics in the forum but can't seem to find a solution - help please!
Thanks

I thought it would help if I tried to reinstall 8.1.2. but apparently my system doesn't meet the requirements and I"m stuck with 8...I am running XP so I'm surprised I can't upgrade. ANyways, I just tried opening 2 files and everything works now after I"ve reinstalled....:-)

Have 2 registered e-mail addresses, can't read a document or get reader to recognize my id.

Why won't adobe reader let me log in and read my document using one of my registered e-mail addresses?

Hi jhenrik,
You don't need to be logged in to view PDF files in Adobe Reader, so there may be another issue here. What happens when you try to open a document? Do you get an error message?
As for your username and password, you may want to reset your passwords to make sure that the right password is associated with each email address. (Are you able to log in to www.adobe.com with either email address?).
Please try resetting your passwords, and then get in touch with us again if that doesn't work.
Best,
Sara

Help! Can't open Appleworks documents on my Intel Mac.

Just bought a new Intel iMac to replace my old G4 iMac but have just had a shock discovering that i can only open (some) of my old documents which i copied to my external hard drive using Keynote and Pages, but not all of them.
That in itself is annoying enough seeing as they don't come as part of the operating system, unlike Appleworks did.
Any suggestions?
I can always plug in the old Mac but that defeats the object of buying the new one somewhat.

Thanks for the reply Brie Fly, thankfully i've managed to control my frustration and i've sorted the problem. I plugged the old mac back in to the external hard drive, copied Appleworks onto it, plugged the hard drive into the new mac and presto! it works. Obvious really, i think the initial frustration clouded my thinking!

Can't read word documents

When I open documents with Word 2010 they appear in some odd script of letters, numbers and symbols.

Hi,
Does this issue happen on all Word documents or just some of them? If just some, where do you get these documents?
This issue may occur if Word haven't accurately detected the encoding standard of text in the file.
To fix the issue, we can specify the encoding standard to use to display (decode) the text:
1. Click the File tab > Options > Advanced.
2. Scroll to the General section, and then select the
Confirm file format conversion on open check box.
3. Close and then reopen the file.
4. In the Convert File dialog box, select
Encoded Text.
5. In the File Conversion dialog box, select
Other encoding, and then select the encoding standard that you want from the list. You may need to look up the encoding standards that are available in Word in the following article. See the "Look up encoding standards that
are available in Word" section.

Please let me know the result.

MS Word Mac 2008 - How can I read a document written in a Foreign alphabet?

I have a document written in Thai language that can't be read. Just a bunch of question marks pop up in place of the Thai letters that should be there.
I have Thai fonts in my Mac in the Font Book, but they are not included in the MS Word fonts. I even tried to move the Thai fonts from the Font Book over to the "Windows Office Compatible" folder (and I did), but they still do not show up in MS Word fonts.
Is there any way to get foreign alphabets to show up in my MS documents? Thanks!!!!

Not necessarily open your web browser go to -
https://www.icloud.com
Sign in with your iCloud credentials
Click on the iWork icon
Then the Pages button
All your icloud Pages documents appear
Highlite the document you want to edit and you can download it in a choice of Pages/Word or PDF formats
To upload the edited document or any other simply drag the document onto the browser window and up it goes.
Once uploaded the document automatically shows on all connected iOS devices.

Can't read scanned document

While I was trying to print a scanned doc., It asked for a program to use like Paint, Word Pad etc.... I chose Word Pad and everything I scan come out as hypertext gibberish. How do I change that!

Hi lill2u,
It is recommended that you scan the document using the MP Navigator and then edit and save the document using Notepad. Once in Notepad you can copy and paste the document into your Word document. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Click Start, select All Programs, Canon Utilities, MP Navigator EX then click on MP Navigator EX to open that program.
2. Place your item to be scanned face down on the scanner.
3. Click the One Click button in the upper right hand corner.
4. In One Click mode, please click the OCR button.
5. When the OCR dialog box appears, make any necessary changes and then click the green SCAN button.
6. The document will be scanned.
Once scanning is complete, Notepad will open and you will be able to edit and save the text.

Why can adobe reader open documents preview can't?

I recently came across a pdf here for a friend, and was shocked when preview couldn't open it, but adobe reader xi could. I had it in my head that PDF was a standard. Has adobe added something to it? Or did they just insert a script to force me to use their product? Would upgrading to mountain lion fix my problem? (newer Preview?)
Preview version 5.03

I have it on the computer and it worked fine, I just didn't prefer the interface. (Also, possibly slower. Hard to measure)
Maybe I wasn't clear. I had guessed that the program that could only be opened by Acrobat was made with Acrobat.
What I wanted to know was why preview couldn't open it. Does every document created with Acrobat prevent other programs from opening it? It seems unlikely, as this is the first I have found with something like that. Is it a new thing with reader xi? How do they accomplish this? A change of headers? Some sort of non-standard encryption? An imbedded script?
I suppose it is improbable that anyone actually knows...

Pages on iPhone can't read Pages documents sent from Mac

My new MacMini (Yosemite) isn't compatible with my old Word files; it saves them in Pages. When I tried reading these on my iPhone, nada. Customer Support said I needed to buy the Pages app (I was surprised it wasnt included since my iOs software is also current). So I bought that for $10 --- and still get the same blank grey screen saying <Original.pages Pages document 270 KB> ---- but nothing else --- when I try to open the Pages doc (whether from Dropbox, or directly downloaded from an email).

Please update your tag line. It still says you are on OS X 10.3.9
You simply have your Word files set to be opened by Pages. Fix that by selecting a Word file in Finder:
Menu > File > Get Info > Open with > choose Word > Change All
Your iPhone must be older than September 2013 which is when Apple started offering Pages for free.
Are you saying transferred files are blank on your iPhone? How do they appear on your Mac?
