Divide a pages document in half

Is there a way to split a Pages document into two separte files.  The document is too large to upload to my server.
Thanks!

You can use the method of combining files by copying sections to a new Pages document & then deleting them from the original. You might want to create two new files leaving the original intact. The combining method goes like this:
You can insert sections from one Pages document into another. Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. If you want to insert the other content into the middle of a section in the receiving document, you will need to insert section breaks at the point you want to insert. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

  • Why will my Imac (1 yr old) only print the full document in half a page?

    Why will my IMAC only print the full document in half a page? All updated IOS downloads.  My Laptop Mac does not do this, so I feel it is not the printer, but the actual computer.  The full document is printed, it is just half a page, other half is blank.  This is presenting a huge problem for school and also when I need to print a shipping label ( which I do often) for my business.  I have several printers and it performs the mistake on all of them.  Thank you!

    Make sure the scale in the Print window is set to 100%

  • How can I make two half page documents?

    I have a full page flyer.  I want to make it half page with two flyers.  I tried making two columns and cutting the page in half, but the borders are wrong.  How can I make two half page documents?

    You can do it with columns, just make the gutter twice the width of the outside margins.
    However being a Flyer why not just create one on the left using Textbooks and Shapes then group that and option shift drag it sideways to the right to make a copy on the right?

  • Is there a way to import a .pdf into a pages document and have it wrap to a 2nd page?

    Is there a way to import a .pdf into a pages document and have it wrap to a 2nd page?

    Are we talking about a spread? ie the pdf spans 2 pages side by side? Like in a magazine centrefold.
    That requires you to insert the pdf on both pages, one hanging half over to the right and the other half over to the left.

  • How can I completely remove pages from a Pages document?

    I had a 44 page Pages document, 95MB in size (it had a lot of TIFFs in it). I deleted all but 9 pages, removing 15 of the 18 TIFFs, but found the document was still 94.7MB. Huh? I cracked open the document using Pacifist, and found a folder titled ".iWTrash" that is 78.4MB in size, containing 4 blank-icon documents with numbers (00000001, etc) for names. This is apparently the material from all the deleted pages. Why is it being kept? Is there any way I can get rid of it, reduce the  file to the ~16MB it ought to be?
    TIA,
    Andrew Main

    What action did you take to "delete" the 35 pages and 15 TIFFs?''
    I selected them in the thumbnail sidebar and pressed the Delete key. The second time I did it I noticed there is a "Delete Page..." command in the Edit menu, so I used that. Which is what the Pages Manual says to do. In both cases, a dialog appeared asking if I was sure I wanted to delete page XX, and assuring me that "The section containing this page will be deleted." I don't have any sections in the document (it's all one), but I clicked the Delete button and the pages disappeared—but as I said, the document remained the same size, and when I pried it open with Pacifist I saw there was 78+MB of mystery data in it, in a folder titled ".iWTrash". The leading dot makes it invisible I guess, but I don't see why since it's hidden inside the document anyway.
    As I recall, Pages documents were originally .zip files or something easily opened, but I thought I'd read that had changed. The contextual menu's "Open With" gives three possibilities: Archive Utility (which makes the 94.7MB Pages file into a 2.2MB .cpgz file, which when double-clicked recreates the 94.7MB original—now that's compression!); Pacifist (which opens the file so I can see what's in it); and The Unarchiver (which converts the Pages file into a folder of its contents, including the ".iWTrash" folder which is invisible in the Finder because of its leading dot.
    Is this a WP document or a PL document?
    It's a PL document.
    I suspect you had floating images in a Word Processing document and deleted the text. The images are still there on the removed pages, if you do a series of page breaks they should reappear on the additional pages where you can delete them directly.
    Well, no, it's a Page Layout document, and I deleted the pages, not the items on them (half had text, half had TIFF graphics). I tried adding blank pages back into the document, but they're blank; the text and graphics don't appear on them.
    But all that data is still in the file, now in "bulk" form, doing nobody any good.
    Okay, so I took the 9-page (94MB) document, with the 78MB ".iWTrash" folder in it, and deleted four more pages. But this time I first deleted the material on the pages, then deleted the (now blank) pages. Suddenly the document is a mere 6.6MB! I opened it up, and it has only the material that's visible in the document, no ".iWTrash" folder. The other 78MB has disappeared also. Seems kind of tedious if you have to first delete the material on the pages before deleting the pages; but maybe if you delete all the pages (with the material still on them) but one, then delete the material on the last page and then delete that page, it'll get rid of the whole mess? Complicated, and of course none of this is explained in the manual. Nor can I see any logical reason for it.
    Another experiment: I took the 9-page (94MB) document, with the 78MB ".iWTrash" folder in it, and deleted four more pages, by simply selecting them and deleting them (without deleting the material on them first). Now the file is 12.5MB, and Pacifist reveals it has an .iWTrash folder of 5.5MB, i.e. approximately the material that was deleted this time, but it's lost the 78MB that was deleted the last time.
    Well, this is all lots of fun, but it still makes no sense. If it's some kind of "dummy's backup", I can't see any way to make any use of it. Otherwise it just takes up space to no use.
    The other possibility is images on captured master pages.
    Do PL documents have master pages? On which you can place elements that will appear on all pages (such as, say, crop marks)? Seems to me my so-far brief perusal of the Pages Manual indicates not. Which doesn't make sense.
    Thanks, everyone, for your responses.

  • 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!

  • Data Merge: Multiple records in a Multiple Page Document

    I looked in the InDesign help and under Limitations for merging multiple records it reads:
    You cannot merge multiple records if the data fields appear on a document page in a document with multiple pages, or if data fields appear on multiple master pages.
    I'm using InDesign CS 5.5. I produce a 4-page newsletter printed on both sides as a booklet, folded and stapled and each folded page size is 8.5 x 11 (a four page booklet on 11×17 paper) I want to print our 250-name mailing list on the outer cover but have discovered that it only prints the whole thing then staples it or I need to manually print each issue per name.
    Is there a way around this? If we have to use a third party software, would you let me know what to look for? Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks for your help.
    Amy

    How many names are you trying to put on each newsletter? I suspect only one, and that you've misiniterpreted the Help file. That warning applies to putting multiple records from the data file on the SAME page, like a sheet of labels.
    Just so you know, using Data Merge to do a mailing where you are addressing multiple copies of a static document is potentially VERY inefficent. Data Merge needs to make a page for every page that will be printed, so if you have a 4-page newsletter with 1,000 subscribers you will wind up with a 4,000 page document just to get the name and address on one page, and your printer will be re-processing all those duplicate pages for each newsletter. If you have a commercial grade copier/printer there may be a variable data printing module availble for it that will merge your list at print time so you need only send a 4-page file and print 1000 copies (or you can send the job out to a printer who can handle this kind of work), or if you want to print in-house anddon't have VDP capabilities, I recommend doing two files.
    The first file should be the side of the sheet that doesn't change. Print that first as a single page doing x plus a few extra copies (in case of jams in the printer when doing the second half) where x is the number of newsletters you need.  The second file is the other side of the sheet with the addresses, which you do as the Data Merge, and will end up as x pages. After printing the first side, flip the stack and reload so you are printing on the blank side, then send the merge document, asking for one copy.

  • Can't export Pages document to PDF

    I have been trying to export a Pages document to PDF a number of times and get the following message: "The application Pages quit unexpectedly." I have rebooted and still can't export. Can anyone help, please? Thanks so much.

    paramita,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    That particular issue usually indicates either a bad font or a corrupt image. Or both. Try validating your fonts using Font Book. If you've got a corrupt font, change fonts in your document. If Font Book tells you all your fonts are healthy, try pulling half of the images out of your document, then saving again as a PDF. If it works, you know you've got a corrupt image in the half you pulled out.

  • Dividing an A2 Document in the middle to print as 2 A3

    Does anyone know how to divide an A2 Document in the middle to print as 2 A3?
    I have an A2 Document of about 50 pages, Each page is set to a landscape spread of 420x594 (A2). I would like to print them to 100 pages of A3, with each page split down the middle so I can print them on my A3 printer. The purpose is to enable me to tile them on a display for a private presentation. I don't have an A2 plotter, besides my prints contain so much colour and taking them to a commercial printroom is out of the question. It will cost. Thanks in advance for the help.

    There script "MultiPageImporter2.5JJB.jsx" after you export as PDF you can place all page with one clik:

    how can I set a link between the two files so that the split document will update automatically with the original document?

  • How do I alphabetize within a pages document?

    How do I alphabetize a list within a pages document?

    You sort a table there, but if you want a more permanent solution, OSX has a very useful but less well known method of extending application abilities:
    Services are little snippets of code that do simple tasks and can be accessed by any suitable application from under the Application menu > Services
    First download WordServices (free).
    Unzip the file and double click on the WordService.service file. If you have the default security on your Mac, you may have to do this 3 times before it lets you open it. Once you have opened it, it will be installed.
    In Pages:
    Menu > Pages > Services > Services Preferences… > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services > Shortcuts > scroll about half way down and check Sort Lines Ascending/Descending and any other services that catch your eye
    Now when you select your text list > Menu > Pages > Services > Sort Lines Ascending/Descending
    This is available everywhere not just Pages..
    As it is now part of your menus, you can give it your own custom keyboard shortcut in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts

  • Is there anyway to recover deleted pages document?

    I was trying to save a keynote document before, and it was forcing an iCloud version as well as, being large, I had to go into my pages documents and tried deleting all but this 1. I went ahead and tried to save a version of the iCloud documents to the mac, but it error'ed and only saved about half of the documents, so it was deleted from iCloud and not saved from this try, there is apparently no version on the computer, including mobile documents folder, i do not use time machine.

    Tried backing it up from itunes, no luck. Too bad there wasn't a "Trash" feature on the I OS. Bummer. Thanks for the response-much appreciated.

  • When I save a pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf. What's happening?

    When I save a Pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf and recipients can't open it. Some load correctly, but about half don't load as a pdf. What's happening?

    Hi mjmonck-
    Which email provider are you using? There are different solutions possible for different providers. Yahoo is having trouble with attachments, outside of any Firefox issue. I've seen a Google user fix this by manually adding the mail URL to their ad block program- which mistakenly perceived the webmail page as an advertisement.
    Hope this helps.

  • Printing a single page document multiple times on a page

    I have a half page document that I am trying to print 2 up to a page and make multiple copies of. Is this something that is possible with Acrobat? I know how to do it with publisher and it's pretty easy. The way that I have done it with my pdf's normally is to make multiple copies of it and bring them into the document as seperate pages. There has to be an easier way to do it though.

    There was no need to post a second time. This is a double post and the answer was already posted for your question from yesterday. Click on your name in the post above and you can see the original post with the same name.
    In any case, I hope you are able to get the job done now.

  • Cannot open, share or download Pages document from iPad or iCloud

    Hi,
    My girlfriend's sister is having some trouble where one specific pages document will not open and we cannot do anything with it (i.e. open, save as PDF, email as word file etc).
    In iCloud you get the error "You need a newer version of pages to open this document".
    On the iPad, error is "Document can't be opened".
    She has pages version 1.7.2 on the iPad which is the latest version in the Apple Store.
    I managed to get a pages file (or package) onto my PC to have a look at it and it is in the form of a folder called "name.pages-tef" and inside are the following:
    If I open Index.db with notepad I can see her notes but they're surrounded by copious amounts of nonsensical code. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    The following link gets into the real details of the different file formats for Pages documents (there are three versions).  The "-tef" file format is specifically for iOS and is translated to a mac format when using the file on a mac.  One question is how was the file created?  On a mac or on the ipad?
    At any rate, around half way through the article is the beginning discussion of the -tef format.  This may explain some of your issues.
