Can you save a Pages document to the desktop and have it linked with iCloud?

Or does Pages sandbox documents when they are saved to iCloud? I heavily use folders on my mac to organize projects, and have started using Pages so that I can write on my phone and ipad. However, I would like to have an icon of a document that links to icloud rather than having to open the application and then pick the document.
I'm essentially organizing two separate areas; the one on my computer with all my media, research links, etc and then documents organization in Pages in the cloud.
Kinda wish there was a way to make a reference file option; saved in icloud, but can be organized in mac folders.
Any thoughts? Or am I missing something obvious.
Thanks.

You cannot access your iWork documents in the cloud through a folder structure as you can on your computer.
You might want to approach your use of these documents in the cloud in a slightly different way. I tend to use iCloud for my documents "in progress", but once complete I then move them to my regular folder structure on my computer and out of the cloud. This means I have a minimum but relevant number of documents available to me when I open the appropriate app on my mobile device.

    Word can't read .pages documents. You have to export the Pages  document to a Word document. File > export or share > Word
    Download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu to learn more about how Pages works.

  • How to save a pages document on the ipad2

    How do I save a pages document on the ipad2 or how do I print a pages document.  I have a n epson835 on a wireless network.   I can scan or print a web page  from the ipad, but I cannot print from pages. The instruction seems to require saving the pages document, but all I can do is share the document via several methods.
    Thank you
    John McDonald

    Tap on the Spanner icon, tap on Share and Print, Tap on Print.
    You will also need to have an Air-Print enabled printer and both the printer and ipad must be connected to the same network.  If your printer isn`t Air-Print enabled then there is a work-a-round but you will have to use google to obtain the files and instructions, do a search on google for Air-Print for PC or Air-Print for Mac.
    To save a document in Pages for iPad just tap on Documents to take you back to your list of documents and the one you are currently working on will automatically save, you can then tap on the documents name to change it.

  • When I save a pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf. What's happening?

    When I save a Pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf and recipients can't open it. Some load correctly, but about half don't load as a pdf. What's happening?

    Hi mjmonck-
    Which email provider are you using? There are different solutions possible for different providers. Yahoo is having trouble with attachments, outside of any Firefox issue. I've seen a Google user fix this by manually adding the mail URL to their ad block program- which mistakenly perceived the webmail page as an advertisement.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

    How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

    You will need to keep them in folder on your hard drive somewhere other than in iTunes or they will be deleted from iTunes if you delete them from the device. I have a folder on my Mac called iPad Pages Documents - very original don't you think!
    Here is the support article that explains it all.

    Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

    Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

    You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot

  • Why does Firefox 4 not let you save a pdf document using the "File" tab. Internet Explorer * give you an option..."Save as....". Can I get same function with FF4?

    Can't save a pdf file using the 'File' tab in FF4.

    Clicking "Save Page As..." in the Firefox menu should work fine. However, if the server you are downloading from is set up incorrectly, Firefox might recommend a filename which does not have the ".pdf" extension (e.g. "get_file.php"). In this case type ".pdf" at the end of the file name.

  • How do you you save a pages document

    how do you save a pages or numbers document fron icloud.com to a folder on your imac.There is no option under file to do that

    Once you are logged in on iCloud.com click the iWork button then Pages (the three apps are listed at the top), then click the document you want to highlight it then click download. It will go in your downloads folder from where you can move to any where you like.

  • How can I save a pages document with a new name

    I often make changes to pages and numbers documents and save them with a new name. This seems to be impossible under LION. To remove the save as command is very shortsited. The only way I found to get around that is to save the changed document as a templete, remove the changes I made to the original document, Open a new document using the templete I just created, saving that document under the name I would have created using the save as command if it was still there, and then delete the templete. How in the **** is this better? Lion has disrupted almost everything I used to do in Snow Leopard.
    The only thing that syncs with mobile me is email. Everything else quit working. I reported the mobile me issue to Apple and am waiting for them to contact me.

    I think the issue is easy:
    1.- Try to go to the File Menu
    2.- Then hold down the Option Key
    3.- You will see in the File Menu (while you press the option key) the "save as" option.
    4.- Choose the "save as" option.
    5.- Choose the file where you want to save your document (you can choose any folder or sub foler in your mac or even iCloud). If you want to, you can even rename the open document where you are working in.
    I hope this would help

  • How can I batch convert Page Documents to the Doc format, and keep them in the same folder?

    I have hundreds of Page documents in a folder structure for school that all need to be converted, but remain within the folder structure. Are there any scripts or methods to make this task easier before I go by this one-by-one?

    If you seriously expect an answer you'll need to give more information than the rather vague "can't"s so far.
    What version of Pages on what version of OSX?
    What exactly are the messages you are getting?
    Which scripts have you tried?
    Have you tried Automator and Smart Folders?

  • Can you merge two pages documents into one in new pages?

    I have a report and a few separate documents which I'd like to merge into one document. I've read that you can do this from thumbnails and copy the thumbnail but I just can't seem to do that either with right click or cmd C. (and the advice seemed to be pre the new pages)  I want to merge them without making them into PDFs (still want them editable).
    I have all the latest updates and system.

    My solution won't work without Pages '09. It is no longer available from Apple, though for about $20 USD one can get it from Amazon, and once installed in Yosemite, it must be updated from an Apple iWork 9.3 updater.
    If you had previously purchased Pages '09 from the OS X App Store, and it resides on an older Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, you should use the App Store to update it to v4.3. On those machines, the App Store will tell you that newer, incompatible Pages versions exist, and then it will offer to update your Pages '09 to the latest (4.3) version. Once this is done, you can simply copy that /Applications/Pages.app to a USB stick, create a new /Applications/iWork '09 folder on Yosemite, and transfer the Pages.app into that folder. If your Pages '09 was purchased on DVD, you will not be able to transfer it — and must be a new install on Yosemite, followed by the linked updater above. Takes all the joy out of working on a Mac.
    There is no assurance that Pages '09 will continue to work properly after forthcoming OS X updates. The ability to export via the Share menu and automatically open Apple Mail with the export as attachment feature is now broken.
    Pages v5.5.2, which is now available in the OS X App Store Updates — still does not support the solution you would like.
