Documents opened with Pages 5.0 not opening with Pages 09

I just downloaded the new version of Pages 5.0, and I really don't like it, it makes taking notes in class harder for me, and I wanted to go back to the previous version, but the documents that I opened with Pages 5.0 I cannot open them anymore with the previous version of Pages. They're not documents that I created with Pages 5.0, I created them with the previous version.
So I wanted to know if anyone can help me.

Once you open and save older documents in Pages v5, they are now in a new Apple document format that is incompatible with the prior version of Pages. Pages v5 does have the ability to save documents in Pages ’09 v4 document format. Keeping track of document names by Pages version becomes enigmatic without a purposeful naming convention.
If you had Pages ’09 v4.n in /Applications, it is now in /Applications/iWork, and you can still use it instead of Pages v5.

Can't open documents created in Pages with macBook pro running maverick

Hello,
I just bought the new MacBook Pro and downloaded iWork. Now when I create a document in Pages and save it to Documents, I can't open it. I get an error messages saying a file is missing. Also, all my old documents created with Pages that I transfered from my old MacBook won't open. It says file too old, need to save to Pages 09.
Tried opening the old documents in Pages 08 and saving them, but still can't open them.
Any suggestions?

Further to my earlier post about this problem, our IT man came in to the office, by coincidence, so I grabbed him and it seems that he has cracked it.
You need to proceed as follows :
Select the document by single click on the icon (i.e. select it but don't double click which will try to open it.)
Go to File Menu and chose "Get Info"
Half way down the drop down menu, chose "Open with" then select Pages 4.0 (i.e. the iWorks 9 version)
This process will open that particular iWorks 8 document.
But, if you also tick the "Change All" box it means that opening with the new version of Pages will become the default and will apply to all iWork 8 documents so you should not need to bother with this ever again.
So far, that seems to work.
(One might have thought it would have been a good idea for Apple to have built this in as a default ?)

Document created in Pages 06 will no longer open with it!

I have a document created in Pages 06. I have the trial version of Pages 08, but it's run out of it's trial period. I just opened the document briefly to read it, and 08 opened it. I wanted to see it in 06, as I needed to change it and save it, but, once closed, if I try to open it with version 2, I get a message saying it needs a newer version to open it! Get Info makes it appear that I can open it with version 2 by selecting that, but in the end, I get the same error message. It's looking like I'm being forced into upgrading here! Any help? P.S. In Get Info window, I see that version 3 is marked "default." Perhaps if there were a way to change that, I'd be OK. But "changing all" in that same window does not fix the problem.

It would appear that you saved that document at least once with Pages 3/'08. Unless you marked the box to save in iWork '06 format, it will save in the current version. Changing would require opening it in Pages 3 & saving as iWork '06.
If it is only that one file, you can send it to me (zip/archive it first) & I will save it as Pages 2 & send it back. Click my name in blue next to this post. My public e-mail address is in the biography section. Just replace (AT) with @.

Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions. Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

I have tried back ups and restoring, resetting, and even updating the pages app. And nothing has worked.

File not found error when tried to open Document ID settings page

Hi
when i open sitesettings>site collection administratin >Document
ID settings
it shows
file not found error
adil

Hi,
first we need to figure out the error. change the web.config so that you can see the error on browser
1) Obtain the complete call stack instead of the default error page:
<SafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="false"/>
to
<SChangeafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="true"/>
2) CustomeErrors mode value (in the system.web section) is set to Off:
<customErrors mode="On">
to
<customErrors mode="Off">
Change these value in "c:\inetpub\wssroot" CA dirctory web.config and
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\web.config .
now again try to do the action. you will get the error on screen.

My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files).

My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
Any suggestions?

Question asked and answered several times.
If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

You should be able to Save as: iWork 08, but i don't know how it works on Mountain Lion. On my Snow Leopard the Save as window has a part looking like this
Or you can send me the document if you are in a hurry and I save it as iwork 08 for you. Click on my blue name and you'll find my address.

Pages 4.9 will open Appleworks Documents, but I Pages 5 will not. What am I missing? or is the software just not as good as 4.9?

Pages 4.3 will open Appleworks Power PC Documents, but I Pages 5 will not. What am I missing? or is the software just not as good as 4.3?

"Some users have reported" is a mild way to put it. To answer your question "or is the software just not as good as 4.3?" more directly... it's only better in transparency between platforms. Everything else is pretty gutted. Dozens of features deleted, as listed occassionally in this long thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5468056?tstart=0
Oh, one other improvement- it DOES run faster, but then of course it would since it's so much more lightweight.

PDF document opened with Preview does not show french accents

Hi everybody,
I've got some issues with PDF documents opened with Preview.
They show a blank space for all the accented vowels.
If I open the same document with Safari, it's the same. But with Chrome, it works perfectly.
I assume there's a problem with fonts, but, nothing wrong with fontbook (checked duplicates for instance).
Last information : it looks ok within chrome on my Imac, but the issue comes back when I try to print from chrome app...the accents are gone on the sheet.
Any idea ? I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Thanks for your help !

I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Why not? It can handle some pdf's that Preview can't. At least it's worth a try.
In case you change you mind get it from here.

IWeb • How Do I Make Links in an Embedded PDF Document Open in New Page?

On this page http://ostyn-newman.com/Gov_Downloads.html I have a PDF document that is embedded. I tried an IFrame, but everything seemed to work better for me with the "Embed" code. I am open to changing this if it would be better. Here's my problem. I can get the PDF document to display fine, but when I click on the links in the PDF document, the destination page opens in the embedded window. I want the links to open the destination in a new window.
I created the part of the document with most of the links (Pages 8.5 - 56) in Numbers and cut and pasted the table into a Pages document to create the completed document on our site. I exported the docuemnt from Pages as a PDF file which is what you see. There is also a link to download the file on the same page which works just fine.
I have tried to insert the target="_blank" code but have not been able to get it to open the destination pages in a new window. I am inserting the code by using the Insert/Widget/HTML Snippet Feature in IWeb. Here is the code I am using.

I am not a coder and have just used Google to find the code to cut and paste and have played around with it to get to the place I am. If anybody can tweak the code I have or offer some totally new code for me to insert that will get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Please keep in mind that most of the people who visit and use this page are government employees and are almost exclusivey using Explorer.

Thank you Jeff,
I tried your original suggestion and now my inserted html widget reads

It is live on my site. You can see that the embedded document still opens the destination links in the embedded window.
As for your other two suggestions, thank you as well. I am aware of those techniques and did not use them because that is not how I want the other PDF links on the page to behave. The catalog and autocad blocks downloads in the box at the top should simply download (or behave however the client's browser is configured to handle downloaded PDF documents or zip files.) I don't intend to force those to open a new window. I could also have our client click on a link to the PDF document and open it in a new page (like in your second suggestion) but I was hoping to embed the PDF and have it automatically viewable on our Download • Terms • Prices Page with all of the PDF search functions intact as well as the links be active. My only complaint at this point is that the links in the embedded PDF document open the destination page in the embed window instead of a new window. I only want to force a new window because the destination window doesn't behave properly when it opens in my embed window and it is difficult to figure out how to go back to the my PDF document when a destination window gets opened in the embed window. The code you sent didn't do the trick. Or maybe I didn't get it exactly right. That is why I included it above. Thanks for trying though. I appreciate the effort.
I would be willing to bypass the imbed/iFrame route altogether if I could just somehow drop the Pages document into the IWeb page and retain the search and link features, but I've not been able to figure out how to do that. When I was exploring how to directly drop a Pages document into an IWeb page is when I stumbled on the method of embedding a PDF document into an IWeb page to retain the important search and link features.

Why do all my documents open when I open Pages?

Hello Apple!
My problem is regarding pages. Every time I open pages, whether im choosing a document or just choosing the Icon to begin a new doc., each and every of my previous documents open as well. I have never had this probem before with the same computer and it started not to long ago. Im writing this question because this problem is becoming quite annoying now and I would like to know what to do in order to fix it. Thank you very much! Cheers!

There is a manual solution and an automatic one. The manual solution is to Close your documents when you are finished with them rather than leaving them open. The automatic solution is to go to System Preferences > General and check the selection "Close Windows when Quitting an Application".

How can I open a document in yosemite pages without going to yosemite

I have been sent a pages document that will not open. (I have pages 5.2)
I get an error message that says that I must upgrade to Yosemite and use new pages.
Does anyone have a work round? (I do not wish to upgrade - I have heard too many bad things about Yosemite on older computers)
While I realise that apple has never been good at backward compatibility, for as basic a product as a word processor, this is vital.
At least Microsoft provided a conversion utility that allowed old versions of word to read docx files.
Charley

The default file format on Yosemite with Pages v5.5.2 is single file format. Pages v5.2.2 on Mavericks can only read package file format.
Tell the person that sent you the document to open that document in Pages v5.5.2, and then in the File menu:
Advanced ▸ Change File Type ▸ Package
Follow this document conversion with a File ▸ Save. That is important. Then they can send the document to you and Pages v5.2.2 can open it.

iwork for ios accepts for upload and also happily opens all your Microsoft office files, from Office97 standard doc/xls/ppt to the 2011 versions of docx,xlsx,pptx and various other of these format extensions.
Notice : the upload feature in www.icloud.com is only active if you in fact own these apps on your iPhone/Pad/pod. it is not a feature of iWork for the Mac ( iwork09 ) which itself is not icloud capable at all.

Acrobat Pro X Opens Every Document Directly to Page 2. WTF?????

Hello. I updated to Acrobat Pro X and now when I try to open a PDF file from a link on my website, it automatically opens every document starting on Page 2, instead of Page 1 as I have set in "Properties"
When I open the documents independent of the web browser, they open directly to Page 1, as specified.
What gives?
Anyone else having this problem?
I think I might punch Adobe Acrobat right in its face as my customers are going to open the docs on my site and go "WTF????????!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!" and then poop their pants.
What to do?

I was having a similar problem, but only when viewing PDFs that were set to "fit page", and only when viewing in the browser. "Fit width" PDFs worked fine.
I am running Pro 9 but made the mistake of installing Reader X. (This could explain why PDFs opened locally were fine, but those opened in a browser are not.)
I finally uninstalled Reader X. PDFs now open to page 1 properly. Strangely, I didn't have to reinstall Reader 9... I guess it's now using Pro 9 to view in the browser?
Not sure if this is a bug in Reader/Pro X or just a problem with having different versions of Reader and Pro on the same machine, but I thought I'd at least add a "me too" to the topic.
