Converting corrupted pages file to PDF - URGENT :c

Ive got a very important work file i need to either be de-corrupted or have the PDF file pulled out (as I've heard some people can do).
It has at least 100-200 hours of work in and I just don't think I can go on with my work course without it, ill have to redo a whole year.
If there is anyone who can help me, Ill get you a link for the file in question.
cheers

It it is a Pages '09 package format file — you can use the Finder to right-click on this document, choose Show Package Contents, and then navigate down into its QuickLook directory. There, the Preview.pdf document can be copied elsewhere, or simply opened in Preview for subsequent copy/paste into a new Pages document.
If it is the default Pages '09 single format file ( a compressed and zipped Pages package format file) then the following Terminal command sequence will get you access to the Preview.pdf document inside the archive, and write it into the current directory location as Preview.pdf. You can subsequently access and process it as you did with Preview in the first paragraph.
unzip -j filename.pages QuickLook/Preview.pdf
If your document is a Pages v5 (any version variation), there is no PDF stored inside the document, and the preview.jpg is only the very first page. All of the document content is in *.iwa files that only Pages v5 knows how to open. I suspect that they are at minimum compressed, and probably seeded with an encryption key that only Pages knows about. At any rate, there is no way to recover your document from them.

    how do i convert several large pages files to pdf?

    Hello:
    Open Pages.  Go to the menu bar>file>export.  Select PDF.  The size of the file should be irrelevant.

  • How can you convert a pages file to a PDF?

    I am trying to convert my pages file to a PDF or word document to turn it into a teacher's website so she can check for plagerism.  I have tried changing it and pressing the export button, but I can't ever find it in documents or files after that.

    What does it say for "Where" when you do Export > Word?

  • Setting Font for converting multiple text files into PDF using VB 6.0

    Dear All,
    Am converting multiple text files into PDF using VB6.0. Currently, am unable to control the font face and size for the generated files. Below is the procedure am using for each file;
    Public Sub proc_convert_to_PDF(srcFilename As String, destFilename As String)
    Dim p_AcroApp As CAcroApp
    Dim p_VDoc As CAcroAVDoc
    Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
    Dim IsOk As Boolean
    Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    Set p_VDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
    Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
    Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
    If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
    Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
    ' Fill in pdf properties.
    p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
    p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
    If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then
    MsgBox "Failed to save " & srcFilename
    End If
    p_DDoc.Close
    End If
    'Close the PDF
    p_VDoc.Close True
    p_AcroApp.Exit
    'Clear Variables
    Set p_DDoc = Nothing
    Set p_VDoc = Nothing
    Set p_AcroApp = Nothing
    End Sub
    What I need;
    1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
    2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
    Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
    Kindly Help.
    Thanks in advance

    We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
    There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
    give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
    controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
    You could look for an application that gives control of font for
    printing.
    You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
    could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
    Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
    size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
    Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
    to this.

  • Error converting Word 07 files to pdf in Vista

    Hi
    I'm running Vista, Word 07, Acrobat 8.1.2. I don't use acrobat a lot in converting files, last time it was a few months ago.
    I wanted to convert a doc file to pdf but always get this error:
    Adobe could not open the the file because it is unsupported etc etc.
    I tried with docx still the same. but other non office files are ok e.g. jpg, txt, html etc. but not office files, ppt/doc/rtf/docx etc.
    When I try to print to pdf in word, word just freezes & is unresponsive, need to close it. At the bottom of word, it says converting page 1 etc. not stuck.
    I don't really know what to do. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, checked this forum for solutions but still the same. Even tried upgrading but still no avail!
    Please help.
    Thanks

    I don't have a printer at home. So can't test if I can print through a physical printer.
    it's kinda strange because it just affects ms office docs/ppt etc. others seem just fine apart from notepad as well. but right clicking say on a jpeg/txt file & convert to pdf is fine.

  • Converting PRN (PCL) file to PDF

    I'm helping a friend with something... She asked for an electronic version of some government public records. She received a Windows-generated PRN file (actually, several of them). I opened one up in BBEdit, and it's PCL, not PS (the Language line is PCLXL). There is no option to get the file in any other format (the provider is unwilling to be of any help). The document is hundreds of pages long, and she'd like it in PDF format. (Ideally she'd like it in a comma/tab-delimited format, but I suspect that's out of the question.)
    I believe it's possible to just dump a PCL-PRN file to a PCL printer using lp or lpr, and there are similar utilities on Windows (I have Windows XP in Parallels). But I haven't found a way to push the thing into a PDF file.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Posting the solution for anyone happening to find this in a search.
    GhostPCL:
    http://www.ghostscript.com/GhostPCL.html
    did the trick. It's a Unix command-line application. It needs to be compiled, but the process was simple following four lines of instructions.
    The command to convert the .prn file to .pdf:
    pcl6 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=outfile.pdf INFILE.PRN
    (replacing INFILE.PRN with the source file, and outfile.pdf to the name of the file to create.)
    The PDF created is pure graphics (mostly vectors); fonts are drawn as vectors but aren't fonts, so can't be selected as text. Thus the files are quite huge. But they're PDFs and otherwise quite usable.
    Enjoy!

    In OS X Pages '09 v4.3, do not be tempted to File > Save... copy as Word document. Instead, you want to export (or Share as Mail), both the PDF and the Word Documents.
    If you choose Share > Send as Mail > PDF (and/or Word), make sure that in Apple Mail, that your composition window has Send Windows-Friendly Attachments selected. You can enable this from the paper-clip icon on the Mail composition window toolbar.

    I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

    Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
    That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.

    I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
    Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
    You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.
