Cannot send Pages document in attachment in Gmail

Hi,
I’m trying to send a Pages 5.0.1 document in Mac Mail using a Gmail adress. The document cannot be sent because of the following error:
“The server response was: This message was blocked because its content presents a potentialsecurity issue. Please visit http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=6590 to review our message content and attachment contentguidelines.”
Please take notice:
1) I can send photos or PDF documents without a problem. I have successfully sent Page 09 documents as well.
2) To be sure, I have created an emtpy Pages 5.0.1 document (no character entered). 40MB. It will not send. Same error.
Thank you,
P.

I get the same result here with Gmail and as you have found out, exporting the pages document to pages '09 works fine.
Sending feed back to Apple would be good. I will too.

i cannot send scanned documents using mail. it says that the size is too big but the scan is only 33mb. i have tried with Snow leopard and now Lion and the same thing happens. Any ideas? Could it be the scanner that i am now using. i switched from HP to Brother and down loaded the brother presto page manager? i am on a 2007 imac with max RAM installed.

How many pages and what is the size of each page? I assume the 33 Mbytes is the total size.

cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

Cannot open Pages documents that I've worked on. I open a new document, work on it, then save and close it. When I try to open the document again, I get the following message: The document "[name]" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct form

I cannot open Pages documents that I have worked on and saved. When I try to reopen Pages documents that I've saved, I get the following

"The document “[name of document]” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format.
The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
I have downloaded the latest update to iWork, but that doesn't help.
I use Mac OSX 10.6.7
I am using Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Best regards,
New York Mac User

A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

Send page by email attaching to Lotus as a link instead of a pdf attachment

Acrobat reader in internet explorer - Send page by email attaching to Lotus as a link instead of a pdf attachment any ideas? was working fine yesterday. Ive reset the Internet explorer settings , cleared cashe, was gonna try to reinstall next

I don't think that Adobe Reader is involved in any of this; it looks like a purely IE functionality.

Hi I cannot send photos as an attachment to a message is there something on my phone that is blocking them.

Hi I cannot send photos as an attachment to a message is there something on my phone that is blocking them.

Does "message" mean you are trying to send photos as part of a text message?
If so, you need two things:
1. Settings > Message > MMS Messaging = "on"
2. You must have MMS messaging enabled with your cellular carrier. Often this costs more than simple text messaging (SMS).

I cannot email a pages document to anyone. Gmail reports error with server but works when i send a PDF

I cannot email a document via share option or by attaching it to an email. Never use to be a problem before the update

Yes, others have reported it too. Tell Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html
and while waitng for an update use Pages 09. It should still be in Applications/iWork09 folder it you haven't deleted it.

Still Cannot email pages document in gmail Help!

When I attach a Pages document to gmail and try to email, I get an error saying that gmail cannot mail executable attachments. What can I do to email documents from the new version of Pages?

Peter,
I had tossed out Pages '09, but, . . . I used Pages 5.0.1 to export the document to "Pages '09" (format, not the software, which I no longer have) and I was then able to send it in Mail 7.1 as an attachment. Gmail did not object. Not pretty, but less of a mess than the other solutions I've seen or imagined so far.

HT4061 How do you send pages Document as an pdf attachment

When emailing pages document from pages on iPad. Sometimes it sends as a small PDF square.
Sometimes sends the entire document with any comments I made about the document.
When you send the document with afew lines of comment they go through as part of the document.
I have done it both ways and don't know the procedure. I just seem to luck out sometimes.
Any comments
Paul

Start Pages and when in the view of the document thumbnails tap Edit.
Tap the document you want to send as a PDF to select it.
Then tap the Share icon, the icon of the curved arrow coming out of a rectangle.
Select Mail
Tap PDF
This will convert the document to a PDF which is attached to an email. If the original Pages document is a one page document the PDF will show all text in the email. If the document has more that one page all you'll see is the PDF attachment icon.
Address the email.
Add any additional text you want.
Tap Send to send the email.

Import warning when sending Word version of Pages document as attachment in Mail

when sending Word version of Pages document in email, says character borders not supported so were removed, so email didn't have all of the text of the Pages document

Not that I know of. Would be less practical than the option coming from Pages -- everyone using Pages probably has some default email client, but far from everyone using Mail would have iWorks and Pages. So building in the feature to Mail not so practical.

Unable to send Pages documents as attachments through Mail. Gmail considers them security risks?

Gmail will not accept Pages documents as attachments - the server will not accept them, apparently as security risks. This is the new version of Pages. Any ideas?

Apple has changed the file format in Pages 5 and Gmail, Google and DropBox are all having trouble with it. I believe DropBox may have fixed it but the others are still unable to transfer the files.
Did you previously have the older Pages/iWork? In which case it should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Use that.

I can't send Pages documents over Skype

I try to send a Pages document over Skype, but it says words to the effect "Only regular data files can be sent". I tried to zip it using the contextual menu create archive command, all I got was a beep. My wife swears that she can't even send them as attachments. Could someone enlighten us here, what are we doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

says words to the effect "Only regular data files can
be sent".
Pages documents are actually a folder of files. So they can't just be attached to an email and sent. The solution is to first compress the document and send it as a zip/archive file. Thankfully, Mail in 10.4 does this automatically but other mail programs don't.
I tried to zip it using the contextual menu
create archive command, all I got was a beep.
Do you mean you couldn't create an archive in Mac OS X? Or that Skype beeped when trying to transfer the file?
If you mean Skype couldn't transfer the file then this would be a Skype problem. .zip files are a PC and Mac standard, so there's not reason they couldn't be emailed or shared via Skype.

Cannot open Pages document in Mavericks

Someone has sent mew a Pages document. When I try and open it I get an error message saying:
You need newer versions of OS X and Pages to open this document.
Install the latest version of OS X, then download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store.
Is there a converter anywhere I can use? I'm not going to upgrade my entire OS just to open one document. To be frank I can't believe Apple are even suggesting it. Unfortunately asking the sender to re-save it as another format isn't an acceptable option.
I'm on 10.9.5, and Pages 5.2.2.

I suspect that the priority is on cross-platform compatibility and use of iCloud Drive. I understand this is a critical part of the OS/X-iOS business strategy and I don't begrudge the effort, but I think this has undermined the focus on important features.
No ability to do endnotes? That should be easier to implement than footnotes. Advanced search for invisible characters (line breaks in particular) was a feature of great value and shouldn't be hard to implement within the current find&replace system. A lot of effort is going into Pages 5 as a common tool for three environments, but little seems to be going into rebuilding its feature set. And retaining the presentation of facing pages imported from 4.3 but not being able to change the settings is just frustrating.
