Convert .pages document on PC?

Does anyone know of any PC converter that would allow a PC user to open a .Pages file type? I'm not finding anything, but am troubleshooting a situation with some colleague.
In advance, I am aware of the export feature in Pages. I'm trying to cover myself twice.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Only a Mac will open a Pages doc. I know of no converter for a PC. Sorry the news isn't better for you.

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?

How do I convert pages documents into a pdf format?

Many of the poster layouts do not save well as a ".doc" document. The formating gets all screwy. I have only the "pages" option or the ".doc" option for files under the "save as" dropdown. No professional printing services in my area offer the ability to print pages documents. They all recommended converting them to pdf. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Joe.

In OSX you can print anything to pdf ( see PDF button at bottom left of print dialog).
Pages also exports to pdf Menu > File > Export > PDF
However be aware that OSX will convert any transparent objects to low res 72 dpi bitmaps which are not suitable for commercial printers. Also it takes quite a bit of work to ensure that text is not in cmyk.

Convert pages document to epub document

Prior to Lion I was able to convert a Pages document to an epub book quite simply. The option to convert to an epub book is no longer available. I see that I am supposed to be able to do this with automator. I do not understand why such a simple process was deleted from my Pages software and requires me to do something complicated. Any suggestions?

I am able to do it in Pages, and I do have Lion.
I just use menu File > Export > ePub
I never upgraded my Pages when I moved to Lion, because I don't like the implementation of Versions.
Did they really also eliminate the export to ePub, too? That's a shame.

Help converting pages document with images over to a 300 dpi jpg file

Hi
I'm pretty new to using Pages. I have created a 4 page Pages document with a lot of iphoto images. It's for a elementary school yearbook. The publisher ulitmately needs a 300 dpi jpg file.
How do I convert the pages document into a 300 dpi jpg?
I tried to convert it first to a pdf then to a 300 dpi jpg but when I sent that file over, they said that when they zoomed in, the images all looked blurry.
Any ideas on what to do without having to start all over again? Worst case, I guess I can print out in best quality, scan and save as jpg but there's got to be an easier way.
I'm not a graphic designer, just trying to fuddle my way through so you'll have to go easy on me with the techno speak. Any cliff notes for mac beginners?
Thanks much in advance for any help!

The conversion isn't perfect between Pages and Word. The same font is handle differently in the two applications and so are many other things too. If you are concerned about how it looks use Pdf versions instead.

Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
with the same results, which are...
Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
Any advice on
a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
that might convert more accurately?
many thanks

Thank you Roger!
I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!

Images are messed up when converting pages document to .doc

Hello,
I am trying to convert my .pages document to a Word .doc file but when I open it back up the background images are missing most of their color. They are extremely distorted. I took off the option Objects Causes Wrap and removed my margins so I could prevent my content from spilling onto a new page thus creating a new page that I could not delete.
Please help!
Thank you in advance,
V

Converting page document to .doc

I have converted 2 large documents to 'Word'; one is in Latin and the other in English. I have put a page break between each page to preserve the compatibility of the pagination. But when I save the 'Page' version as a 'Word' document, an extra line always appears at the beginning of every page which follows a page break. This distorts the pagination so that I have more English pages than Latin pages. Can anyone help , please?
Jack Heery

Thanks, Peter
I did re-edit the Word version previously which was when I discovered that the same thing occurred after the re-editing was complete and I tried to save it as Word! I've also tried leaving a spare blank line after the page break but it still creates another blank line at the top of the next page. And the extra blank line comes up if I start each next page with another blank line. I need to send this document to colleagues who use Microsoft and sending them a pdf is no good because they then can't edit it.
Presumably I wouldn't have a problem if I were to buy the full Microsoft programme, but I don't want to pay out another £100 if I can find a way of sending my Pages documents to my Microsoft friends using the'Save as Word' facility in Pages.
Thanks anyway. Anyone else got any other ideas?
Jack

When I convert pages document to pdf

the formatting is wrong - the font size is smaller and there is a larger margin on right and left side. Does anyone have a similar problem? And more importantly, can help me find a solution?

You are describing the behavior of a document whose feature "Comments" is active.
If it's that, it was described here and there many times.

When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,
Anubha

How can I convert a Pages document into PDF or RTF?

I have been asked to send a Pages document to PC users in RTF or PDF format. How can I get my Pages document to convert into other formats for PC people?
Is that what the export feature is supposed to do? I just don't know how to sent my document via e-mail to non-Apple conputers!

You didn’t indicate whether you are using Pages ’09 v4.+ or the latest Pages v5(.2) release. To send an email with either Word or PDF attachment from within Pages:
Pages ’09 v4+
Pages menubar > Share (category Send via Mail) > (select Word (.doc) or PDF). Mail will launch into a compose window with the document already attached.
Pages v5+
Pages toolbar > Share > Send a Copy > Email > (select Word (.doc/x) or PDF - best). Mail will behave as above.
Note: Either version of Pages is not an MS Word clone and it must translate content into the Microsoft document architecture. If you must have maximum Word document accuracy, you will need Office for Mac 2011, and the associated MS Word application that produces native .docx format.
Backup your work.

I have upgraded to Pages 5.0.1 and now I cannot print or pass along "comments" in the text of a document. I previously was able to convert the Pages document, with comments, to a "Word" document so that others could view the edited text. How do I do that?

When you installed Pages v5, it automatically moved the older Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09 folder. If you want normal comment interoperability, you are advised to resume using the older version of Pages. Newer, is certainly not better with Pages v5.

How do I convert a pdf to a pages document?

I have a pdf document that I need to convert to a Pages document. Can anyone help me?

If you actually need the text of the PDF file in Pages you'll either have to perform a series of copy and pastes or purchase a program that converts PDF files to text format. Usually the output of such a program requires some editing, it isn't perfect but when the document is long, it sure beats copying and pasting page after page after page.
You can also import a single PDF file into Pages as a graphic file, not a text file. But this might be another solution.
