Can we change the RTF export image format?

Hi,
If I embed a PNG or JPG in a Pages document and export the doc as RTF the images are rendered as PDFs.
This causes problems when I use textutil to convert the RTF to HTML.
Is it possible to specify that exported images retain their original format?
Thanks
Jonathan

Most word processors provide this functionality but Pages doesn't. Is it so difficult to understand that ?
It's not an omission but a deliberate choice.
This functionality which was available in the very old versions was dropped by Pages '06 or Pages '08.
It's not a new feature, it's not a surprising one.
So, I continue to be puzzled by questions like yours.
If you want to be able to export as html, check the availability of the feature before starting to use a tool.
Apple designed a product which has its own rules.
fruhulda tried to copy paste from Pages to TextEdit and got PDF objects. But she forgot to say that she applied the process to inline pictures. When pictures are floating ones, I'm unable to copy-paste a Pages's page into a TextEdit document.
I studied the contents of the clipboard after copying a page embedding a png picture.
It contain:
a RTF object embedding a PDF representation of the picture : «class rtfd»:«data rtfd
a PDF of the complete page : «class PDF »:«data PDF…
a TIFF object embedding the picture : TIFF picture:«data TIFF
a PICT object embedding the picture : picture:«data PICT…
an  Unicode text: object
a «class utf8» object
a «class ut16» object
a «class RTF »:«data RTF… object
a string object
so, the target app is perfectly free to grab the format which it want.
TextEdit grabs the rtfd one but it was free to grab the rtf + the tiff one.
openOffice make an other choice and grabs only a text component.
From my point of view, the only odd behavior in this area is that Pages fails to normalize its proprietary clipboard when it pass to a non iWork app a clipboard embedding floating objects. This is not a normal behavior. According to Human Interface Guidelines, apps are supposed to do that.
I guess that there is a workaround to your problem.
Remove the pictures
Export as RTF
Apply Textutil to convert into Html
Open the html file in a wysiwig html editor
Insert the pictures where they are supposed to be.

  • How can I change the default cover image in iTunes?

    Good evening everyone!
    I've scoured the web for this info but can't seem to find it. Is there a way to change the default cover image in iTunes to one of my choosing? You know the one I'm talking about right? The transparent CD cover with the musical note in the middle of it... the one that shows up when iTunes can' find appropriate cover art for your music. I have another image I'd like to use instead, as I've never liked the default image at all. The one I have to replace it is an image of a blank CD case. Kinda cool and would look infinitely better than the default in my opinion.
    Has anyone done this before? If so, can you describe to me how it's done, or point me to somewhere on the web that describes how? Many, many thanks in advance Have a great weekend!!!

    I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
    I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there.

  • How can I change the default EXPORT directory for latest iPhoto?

    Perhaps I am missing something, but I have as yet to find a way to set my default EXPORT directory. Since installing Lion and the iPhoto update, whenever I want to export it wants to put the image in 'Pictures', but I want 'Desktop' generally or somewhere else.
    I am all set with library and import location. In fact, Import is smart enough to remember where I import my stuff FROM - namely, the desktop.
    But once I have edited files and want to export them, the default jumps back to Pictures.
    Again, this is NEW and CHANGED behavior with the latest release to coincide with iOS 5 ...
    I just want it to remember my default from export to export ... heck, it even changes within the same session!

    I can certainly confirm the behaviour and have no solution to it.
    That said, in the export dialogue typing command-d will point the export to the desktop.

  • Can I change the default phone number format?

    I a new BB user and have so much to learn!  I got a Storm (bad choice) 6 weeks ago and thought BBs were ridiculous.  Then I got the Tour and am pobably converted for life.
    In my contacts, most of my phone numbers show up as 4395551234 which is hard to read.  I have some others that show (439) 555-1234.  I have added dashes to some numbers to make them easier to see.  Is there anyway to change the option so numbers are automatically displayed in a certain format?  And why would some be different than others? I can't figure out a reason some are changed.  
    BTW, I am a devoted Mac user and love the new Desktop Software.

    It is one of the great mysteries of BBdom why users must look at a long string of 10 digits on an incoming call notification instead of having them broken down into more readable form.  Truly bizarre.

  • Is there anyway to organize icloud photo steams into abc order? and can you change the key photo image??? makes me crazy!

    I am searching for ways to organize my photo streams...alphabetical preferably.
    Also how do you change the key photo from something random that i did not choose to be the key photo (in the photo stream/icloud mode).
    Thank you!
    sue

    As far as I can see, sue, the shared Photo Streams will always show the photo last added as the key photo. So just make sure the last photo you add is a photo like to see as the key photo. I do no know of any method to arrange the photo streams alphabetically. My photo streams are neither shown in chronological order nor in the order I created them.

  • HT4007 I Just updated Apeture to 3.3.2  Now there are some photos that I receive a message..."Unsupported Image Format"  Are there lost?  can I retrieve them?  can I change the format?  Help...?!?

    I just updates Apeture to version 3.3.2 after installing Mountain Lion.  There are some photos in Apeture that now say, "Umsupported Image Format".  Are these lost?  Can I retrieve them...how?  Can I change the format so that I can see them again?  Help?!?

    Are these images "Raw" images? What is the make of your camera?
    Check the version of the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update that is installed.  The version of the raw support is shown in the About panel: from the main menu bar:
         Aperture > About Aperture
    Download the latest Raw Update from here:
    Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.14
    If you have the latest raw support installed, but Aperture does not recognize the format, try to register the raw support for your camera with the launch services db, see this post by Alan Roseman:
               Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command
    In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the  follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.

  • How can i change the DPI of an image to 400 in illustrator?

    I'm very stuck with trying to change the DPI of an image to 400 so that it is ready to print and the resolution will be fine once printed but i have no idea how to do this in illustrator?

    dpi,
    If you are talking about a raster image placed in Illy, you can only change the size to get the desired PPI/DPI.
    If you are talking about raster effects or a raster image created in Illy, you may set the desired resolution of raster effects, or the desired resolution or total pixel x pixel size of the exported/saved image.
    If you are talking about pure vector artwork, the resolution depends on your printer (driver) (settings), as Doug said.

    I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I guess you mean one of the resume templates.
    What "format" have you saved your finished resume in?
    The only formats a Windows user will be able to open are .doc (Word), .pdf and rtf. The 1st 2 are usually the best.
    There is no Windows version of Pages.

    You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
    In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
    If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
    Do this from the Windows Desktop:
    If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
    Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".
