Emailing an opened pages document instead of an attachment

Having trouble sending an opened Pages document on my custom letterhead as anything but a PDF (which compromises the logo graphics) or an attachment. Can an opened Pages document (have to convert to Word for my recipients) be sent by email without cutting and pasting?

No, you have to use attachment of a pdf or word file or do the copy and paste.

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad 2. Document succesfully transferred as Pages document to computer, but Pages 2.0,2 wouldn;t open it. Version too old?

Pages 2 is iWork '06, two versions behind what the iOS Pages creates. You need to use Pages '09 which you can purchase from the Mac App Store as a stand-alone application or a retail box of the iWork '09 suite.

Open Pages documents from an older version

I need to open Pages documents from an older version of Pages that I saved to an external drive from a computer that I no longer have access to. My current operating system is 10.7.5 and I can't upgrade it right now. I see that Pages 5.0 requires 10.10 or higher and I can't find older versions to download and from what I've read, it doesn't sound like I'd be able to open the old documents with the new version anyway. I really need these documents. What can I do?

I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files. They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office. That's what I had to do. After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us. I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.

Cannot open Pages documents that I've worked on. I open a new document, work on it, then save and close it. When I try to open the document again, I get the following message: The document "[name]" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct form

I cannot open Pages documents that I have worked on and saved. When I try to reopen Pages documents that I've saved, I get the following
message:
"The document “[name of document]” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format.
The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
I have downloaded the latest update to iWork, but that doesn't help.
I use Mac OSX 10.6.7
I am using Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Best regards,
New York Mac User

A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

Barry

Pages will no longer let me open files that I have previously downloaded, worked on and then saved on my mac. However it will let me open pages documents that I have started from new. I need the other documents to open and can't figure it out. PLEASE

Pages will no longer let me open files that I have previously downloaded, worked on and then saved on my mac. However it will let me open pages documents that I have started from new. I need the other documents to open and can't figure it out. PLEASE

I just got my mac a month ago so go easy on me but I was just working with the pages that was already on it, and then today I know it updated, and now I am unable to open a lot of my documents!:( Idk what you mean by the icloud version lol sorry! As for the version, when I open pages from my apps and click 'about' it says version 5.1? And when I open the document it just goes grey and kind of blinks and doesnt open? No error message or any indication of why it will not open now when I for sure have opened it in the past! Andddd for the OS X I think it is 10.9.1 ??

Outlook HyperLink from email that open SAP documents like BP or any other

Is there a way today with latest version of SAP to have an hyperlink in an email that opens the document in SAP like the arrow in Crystal report which someone said it works today having a Crystal Report with a link to a SAP document.

People here thinks that there's a way to simulate Crystal Report job using C# to make an external call to Business Partner form to pop but I doubt. Rest that I'm wondering if this kind of trick would be possible.
So either by DI API, UI API or a trick using Some kind of workaround with Crystal Report to make it work

You cannot open it on Windows Vista. The only application in the world that opens a Pages document is Pages, and it is Mac OS X only.
Your options:
1. Find a Mac with Pages installed, and save the document as doc or pdf, which you can open on Vista.
or, if that is impossible,
2. Open the files in a texteditor like Notepad.exe on Windows and try to piece text fragments together to get at least part of your original text back. The images should also be available somewhere, even though all formatting is gone.

Is there an issue opening Pages documents between iMac and iPad"

got the most recent version of operating systems and pages on both iMac and iPad; thought I should be able to open Pages document on both computer and device. am I wrong?

Make sure you are trying to open these documents in Pages 5. If you're using a Dock icon you had before updating, be aware that the Dock icons are not updated & will continue to launch the previous version which is still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork 09.

Why is gmail blocking me from sending email with a "pages" document attached?

Why is gmail blocking me from sending email with a "pages" document attached? I've checked the document for viruses with "MacKeeper" and it's clean.

Google reads your emails, in case you did not know that. Unless you are sending an email containing content Google can extract and add to its vast database of personal information, Google has no use for it.
Google Mail is becoming progressively useless. It won't accept .zip attachments, at least not the last time I tried, it will eventually prevent you from using an email client unless you visit their web mail interface, and it will disable your account if you attempt to log in from someplace Google deems is not where Google thinks you ought to be.
Gmail is worth every cent you paid.
Get rid of MacKeeper. It is capable of doing nothing beneficial and will only cause problems.

Unable to open Pages document after emailing to colleague

I need to send a Pages document to a work colleague, where the document must be in pages format (not pdf or other).
We both use G4 powerbooks, latest tiger and iwork.
But when I email the pages document (via apple mail), two odd things happen:
- the file arrives at my colleague's email address in zip format, requiring unzipping...
- the unzipped pages file cannot be opened in pages, instead an error message 'the document cannot be opened' is received.
We've tried using apple mail, thunderbird, webmail, ... but to no avail.
How can a Pages document be emailed, as a .pages file, and then opened by someone else?
Guidance welcomed.

RossM,
Peggy explained why you need to zip Pages (and Keynote) documents. Mail.app tries to be smart an zips the files for you.
I recall that I saw a zip attachment in earlier versions of Mail. Now I just see a Pages document icon. When I delete an e-mail with a Pages attachment, it shows up in Trash with a zip attachment.
When I saved the zip attachment (testname.pages.zip) and unzipped it, some strange name appeared. I then simply removed the zip extension from testname.pages.zip and was able to open the file in Pages.
I'm not sure if this behavior is specifically with 10.4.6 and Mail 2.0.7 but check your versions and try to rename the "zip" file.
At least Peggy's suggestion to zip Pages documents before attaching them to an e-mail should work.

Pages does not Open .Pages Documents

Hello,
When I attempt to open any of my .pages documents, Text Edit opens instead. I have attempted to correct this by right clicking on the document and changing 'Open With' from 'Text Edit' to 'Pages (default)' and then choosing the 'Change All' option, but it flickers and 'Text Edit' returns to the list.
Does anybody know of why this is occuring?

It seems that something is corrupted in the LaunchServices database.
Use a maintenance tool like Onyx (free) to rebuild clean database.

Receiver can't open Pages Document - Help!

Hello,
I have made track changes to a Pages document and need to send it to a colleague. I tried to send it as an attachment to email (yahoo and gmail accounts) and it failed. I then uploaded it to a Dropbox account but my colleage was not able to open it. Can anyone help? I don't want to send it as a pdf as there are over 500 tracked changes and the work will have to be redone.
Thanks. Jane

Pages v5.2.2 creates directories, not regular files. The only place where this directory actually appears as a regular file (to the user) is courtesy of the Finder on OS X. These Pages v5.2.2 directories are incompatible with Gmail, and Dropbox. You must first right-click on the Pages document, and then from the contextual menu, choose compress the document name. You now have filename.pages.zip, which to Gmail and Dropbox appear as an allowable document. The destination user would simply double-click this document to make it filename.pages.
There are some caveats. The recipient must be running OS X Mavericks or later, because this is a requirement for the Pages v5.2.2 application, which is the only application on the planet that can open Pages v5.2.2 documents. Otherwise, the recipient cannot open your document, unless they have Pages v2 or later on IOS 7 or 8.
I would have also mentioned Pages for iCloud beta, but since I do not have IOS 8, or Yosemite, I am blocked from accessing Pages for iCloud beta until I upgrade to iCloud Drive. Doing so, according to others, vanishes previous Pages documents stored in the older iCloud installation. Apple is at it again.

Cannot open Pages document in Mavericks

Someone has sent mew a Pages document. When I try and open it I get an error message saying:
You need newer versions of OS X and Pages to open this document.
Install the latest version of OS X, then download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store.
Is there a converter anywhere I can use? I'm not going to upgrade my entire OS just to open one document. To be frank I can't believe Apple are even suggesting it. Unfortunately asking the sender to re-save it as another format isn't an acceptable option.
I'm on 10.9.5, and Pages 5.2.2.

I suspect that the priority is on cross-platform compatibility and use of iCloud Drive. I understand this is a critical part of the OS/X-iOS business strategy and I don't begrudge the effort, but I think this has undermined the focus on important features.
No ability to do endnotes? That should be easier to implement than footnotes. Advanced search for invisible characters (line breaks in particular) was a feature of great value and shouldn't be hard to implement within the current find&replace system. A lot of effort is going into Pages 5 as a common tool for three environments, but little seems to be going into rebuilding its feature set. And retaining the presentation of facing pages imported from 4.3 but not being able to change the settings is just frustrating.

Cannot open Pages document on iMac created on iPad

I createdc a document using Pages 09 on my iPad 3 in December 2012 and saved it to iCloud. Since then I've got an Imac and installed Pages 09 on that computer. Now, when I try to open that document, created on my iPad, on the iMac it won't open, nor will it open on the iPad anymore. I get an error message saying '...couldn't open this document...'. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong and how to rectify this please? I've got the latest iOS on the iPad and running fully updated Mountain Lion on the iMac. Thanks very much for any help.

The document is probably corrupt. I wouldn't trust that the uploading to iCloud always is complete. I would always have a copy on the iPad or the Mac. You never know when connection is slow or going down and if you are uploading at that time you are bound to get problems.
