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?

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?

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

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.

Batch convert Pages files to Doc and stay in the same folder?

Hi there,
I use iWork '09 on Mountain Lion. I recently switched to Microsoft Word and prefer it over Pages (personal preference). However, I have nearly 1000 files on my computer that are in Pages format. I have extensively searched this issue in the Apple Support Communities and it appears that there are scripts that DO EXIST that batch convert Pages files into Word files. However, it appears that many of these scripts were built for older versions of iWork and therefore I run into various errors. For example, I used the script available at http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2008/01/export-folder-to-word-rtf-pdf-txt-or.html and click run but nothing actually happens (the script runs for less than a second, then I can click run again). I was able to use one script successfully (pasted below), but the only reason I can't use it is because it saves ALL my converted documents in one folder on my desktop and I would like a script that can save them in the original file were the Pages document is located.
So, is there an iWork '09 compatible script that can convert my Pages documents to Word documents and save them in the same folder as the original? Oh, and for an added bonus, it'd be cool if the script also deleted my Pages version after it was done with the conversion

Right. If you are using delegated privs and sudo, make sure that sudo is configured to pass on the PERL5LIB and ORACLE_HOME environment variables at least.

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 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!

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.

Problems converting Pages to Word.doc

I am new to Macs and Pages so need some help. I have to convert files to Word as some of the companies i work for need word docs. the problem i have found is some characters (in tables etc) and bullet points disappear, leaving an indent in word, but not the bullet point mark. This is very frustrating and have had to resort to opening text doc or pc office application and changing it all. what am i doing wrong?

Hi macflower70
Welcome to the forum.
Word allows you to use dingbats from various standard Windows fonts, such as WingDings, as bullets.
Pages does as well, but it may be that the particular font used in the Word document is not on your Mac or in a different format. OSX favors .otf files, many Windows users are still using the old non-Unicode .ttf files.
When you open a file it may tell you that the font is missing and you may be given opportunity to open the font or replace it with another.

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.

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.

Convert Page to Doc - Color Changing

When converting .pages files to .doc files, the color of my business logo changes from green to pink. The logo file is a jpeg. Any suggestions?

To open a JPEG and check that colourand model and ICC colour space, convert the colourand model from one ICC colour space to another ICC colour space, or correct the colours using the embedded ICC colour working space, open in Apple Preview > Document Info > Colour Model: [e.g. CMYK, RGB] > ColorSync profile: [- means none, Generic XXX Profile means the object is device colour and the system has assigned a source ICC profile automatically, anything else means that the source ICC profile was embedded by the application that wrote the file to disk].
The Apple ColorSync Utility can be used to convert the colourant model from the embedded/assigned ICC colour space to the same colourant model or another colourant model through the destination ICC colour space selected by the user. Currently, the conversion cannot cross-render for proofing, but this is irrelevant in this case.
As well in Apple Preview as in the Apple ColorSync Utility, colour correction can be done. The colour correction uses the embedded/assigned ICC colour space as source and converts into the destination ICC colour space for the current state of the colour display. So, it makes a lot of sense to have minimally a colourimeter as eyeballing calibration and characterisation using the Apple Default Calibrator supplied in the system is not exactly easy.
With regard to CMYK in older imaging models. CMYK is neither supported in Apple QuickDraw under OS Classic nor in Microsoft Graphics Device Interface under Windows prior to the Presentation Foundation in Windows 6. An application that depends on drawing in system services cannot hand CMYK to system services since system services don't support CMYK - only RGB. If the system services are smart, they will support an ICC colour managed conversion. If the system services are dumb, they will support a colour blind algorithmic conversion of the colourants in the channels.
I'm surprised that Word 2004 or Word 2008 would be RGB only, since ColorSync has supplied support for colour managed conversions through the lifetime of OS X and since ColorSync cannot be disabled in OS X as it could in OS 9 and lower.
Strange.
