Create a document on iMac and send it by e-mail to a Windows P.C. user and they can not open the document. What to do?

Documents from a iMac sent to a Windows PC, how can it be read on the PC?

Save or export it into a format the PC is capable of reading natively; those depend on the software installed on the PC, and generally include plain text, RTF, and Word, but not the native formats of any of the iWork applications.

  • I'm trying to send a pages document as an email attachment to pc users.  They can't access the document.

    I'm trying to send a pages document as an email attachment to pc users.  They can't access the document.  When I try go to the "file" menu, there is no "save as" option.

    Hi Shelly,
    Command-P (Print)
    In the Print dialogue, click the PDF button at lower left, choose Mail PDF
    The result should be a new email document with the pdf file attached.
    Address and send.
    The procedure applies to any document which may be printed, not just Pages documents.
    Regards,

  • I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

    My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

    If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • I downloaded pages, completed file sharing but can not open the documents on my ipad

    I have pages on my ipad2, I went through the file sharing instructions for 2 files.  I can not open them in pages.  When I go to Documents, copy from itunes, the files show but cannot be selected.

    Quit Pages and restart the iPad and try again.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Make sure that they are compatilbe file extensions on the files or they will not open ... .doc, .docx, .pages

  • I CAN NOT OPEN THE DOCUMENT PAGE IN CS5 IN NEW DOCUMENTS

    I USE PHOTOSHOP CS5  on my mac pro snow leopard. I have a trial edition down loaded and worked once. Now it will not open a new or saved documents  or display any pasteboard. The tool bar and basic set up display. Could I have something turned off to prevent the display from being seen.  A saved sample from an email works somewhat
    Any suggestions?

    Replace your preferences. Oh wait, Photoshop? This is the InDesign forum. Ask in the Photoshop Macintosh forum. Though the answer is probably similar.
    You can also hit TAB to display/hide much of the UI, but that doesn't quite sound like your problem.
    No need for block capitals...

  • I can not open pdf documents

    If I want to open a pdf document I get the following error-message:
    "Error during page elaboration. A problem occurred during reading this document (109)"
    I have Adobe Reader V8. I removed the version 8 and installed version 7, but I still can not open the document.

    I can not open .pdf documents unless I save them first.  But sometimes I can't download the file first - I get an error message that says that my version of Adobe can't open a .pdf in a web browser...

  • I can create documents in Mavericks Pages and Keynote. When I attach them to an email and send to others also using Mavericks, they can't open the attachments. Why might this be?

    I can create documents in Mavericks Pages and Keynote. When I attach them to an email and send to others also using Mavericks, they can't open the attachments. Why might this be?

    The new Pages v5 (Mavericks) uses a new file format with the same extension name (.pages). Older versions of Pages cannot open these documents unless you first export them as Word (.docx) and send these as Mail attachments. The same is true if you originate an IOS Pages v2.01 .pages document.
    You may be sending to people who chose not to install Pages v5 on Mavericks and continue to use Pages ’09 v4.3 instead — especially for the superset of features that are presently not in Pages v5.

  • After rescue and recovery, I can not find the documents

    After rescue and recovery, I can not find the documents created after the restore point date.
    Moderator note: subject line adjusted for clarity.

    Hi,
    not sure, what exactly the description should tell me, but I guess, that your scenario is like this:
    - you captured some RnR backup
    - made some changes to the system
    - restored the backup
    and now the changes, that you have mde afte the backup was captured are gone.
    If this is your case, then this is a correct situation.
    The backup will restore the whole system back to the stage, as you selected, while it will remove/modify the packages, that have been changed/created  after the time, when the backup was captured.
    In the stage, where you have restored the system, you had the chance to save some files, but as it looks, this did not happened.
    Please correct me if I understod it wrongly.
    Cheers

  • My hp 8500A will scan with the hp scan program, and save, but I can't open the document

    Using the HP Scan in my HP Program, I can scan a document with my HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium P/F/S. The HP Scan program shows me a preview so I know it scanned correctly, and I can save the document as what I want, but when I try to open the saved document, right now I've been saving it as a PDF file, my PDF program will not open the document. I get a message that the PDF program can not open. Help, please

    Welcome to the forums horizonjeana,
    I understand you are unable to open your PDF's to view them after they scan however, the scan preview is working fine. I would suggest updating Adobe to see if that helps!
    Open Reader or Acrobat.
    Choose Help - Check For Updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
    Once installed, restart you computer.
    Try to print the PDF again.

  • Pages is not saving document correctly.  After saving the changes either do not appear or you can not open the file. The error is "not a valid format"  I am in Pages '09 4.1 (923).  I also use Parallels.  Anyone having similar issues?

    I'm not sure that Lion AutoSave feature apply to network servers.
    I'm just sure that the Versions feature doesn't.

  • I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done last year.  I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages.  I am running version 4.3

    I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done in the past year.  I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages.  I am running version 4.3.  Do I have to purchase an update of Pages?

    You are not on Mountain Lion anymore, right? You are on Mavericks and have downloaded Pages 5 and then created docuemnts in it which can't be opened in Pages 09.
    No, you don't have to buy a newer Pages but you have to be particular about which version you use.
