Emailing pages documents as a PDF attachment

I create my reports in pages on my MacBook and keep them in a drop box folder.
I can then open them to read in their correct form in drop box, good reader or print central.
I can't open them in pages without loosing so much formatting that they are useless.
OK I shall just have to live with that.
What I wanted to do today was email a report that resides in my dropbox folder to a client in PDF format using my iPad
Any ideas how anyone.

Thanks for the tip. In the end I went back to GoodReader and renamed the file as .pdf before emailing and it appears to have arrived as a pdf file - which is what I wanted.
Rather interestingly, there is a PDF Reader Pro and a PDF Reader Pro Edition with similar graphics but from different developers. I'm surprised that the App Store allowed that.

  • HT4061 How do you send pages Document as an pdf attachment

    When emailing pages document from pages on iPad. Sometimes it sends as a small PDF square.
    Sometimes sends the entire document with any comments I made about the document.
    When you send the document with afew lines of comment they go through as part of the document.
    I have done it both ways and don't know the procedure. I just seem to luck out sometimes.
    Any comments
    Paul

    Start Pages and when in the view of the document thumbnails tap Edit.
    Tap the document you want to send as a PDF to select it.
    Then tap the Share icon, the icon of the curved arrow coming out of a rectangle.
    Select Mail
    Tap PDF
    This will convert the document to a PDF which is attached to an email. If the original Pages document is a one page document the PDF will show all text in the email. If the document has more that one page all you'll see is the PDF attachment icon.
    Address the email.
    Add any additional text you want.
    Tap Send to send the email.

  • 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.

  • Trouble emailing pages document

    I'm using pages/08 and I'm having trouble emailing documents as attachments. They're small files - like one page of text only, and I've had trouble with this in the past. I generally end up not using pages and going back to appleworks and emailing as a pdf that way. Does anyone know anything about why it's so problematic to email from iwork?
    Thank you.
    Bob

    A Pages document is actually a package, a special kind of folder that appears as a single file, but isn't. You can't e-mail a folder which is why many mail clients balk. Apple Mail will automatically zip a folder, other e-mail clients don't, especially web-based e-mail. In the Finder, Control- or right-click on the Pages document & choose Create Archive… (Tiger) or Compress… (Leopard) from the contextual menu. You will now have a zipped Pages document that you can attach to your e-mail & send.

  • When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been.  How do I do this without the document changing?

    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.
    Peter
    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

  • Is it possible to save my pages documents as editable PDF's?

    I start a new semester (college) in two weeks. I was wondering this partly because one of my professors (from last semester) had a lot of trouble sending pages documents to people who have PC's.
    How do I save a pages document as a PDF and not as a ".doc"?
    Thanks!

    Microsoft Word was introduced for Macintosh in 1984. The file format of Microsoft Word is application-dependent, that is, both the author and the audience must acquire the selfsame application in order to see shared files. This is true also of Aldus PageMaker (introduced 1985), QuarkXPress (introduced 1987) and any of a very, very long list of file formats specific to one and only one application.
    It became clear to all concerned in 1989-1990 that problems would be produced by interchange of digital documents, if there were no conversion from application-dependent archival file formats into application-independent archival file formats. It also became clear to all concerned that there would be two kinds of application-independent archival file formats.
    When laser imaging was introduced, developers of laser imaging systems for photographic preparation of the printing surface introduced preparatory-phase page markup languages which are content-oriented and production-phase page description languages which are appearance-oriented. Initially, both were tied to the make and model of laser imaging system.
    Page markup languages for a make and model of laser imaging system (essentially the command syntax for the laser imagesetter) meant that if you coded/tagged for one make and model of laser imagesetter, you could not repurpose what you had coded/tagged for another make and model of laser imagesetter. Clearly, this was uneconomical.
    This realisation led to SGML Standard Generalised Markup Language under the governance of the International Standards Organisation. SGML is not perfect, among other things it can let you have what are essentially private characters and if porous memory serves it can let you have several coded character sets simultaneously which is undesirable in a content-oriented format.
    The same sort of problem was posed by page description languages the first of which was the command syntax for the raster image processor that ran the Monotype Lasercomp introduced in 1976. Page description languages introduce an x-y coordinate design space that is mapped onto an x-y coordinate user space which is the address space of the raster image processor.
    Page descriptions that depended on the command syntax for a make and model of laser imagesetter posed problems for portability and page description languages under corporate governance clustered around the companies in the United States that targetted the market for graphic information processing commonly called desktop publishing.
    Hewlett-Packard Printer Command Language was introduced into this market in May 1984 when the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet made it to market, driving a wedge between the IBM Personal Computer and the IBM line of non-impact printers. Xerox Interpress made it from the laboratory into the market with the initial documentation of the model in 1985.
    Adobe PostScript and Xerox Interpress are along almost all dimensions the same model, developed by some of the same people. Adobe PostScript made it to market through a contract entered into in late 1984 between CEO Steven Jobs of Apple Computer, CEO Dr Wolfgang K u m m e r of Linotype, and CEO Dr John Warnock of Adobe Systems.
    Adobe PostScript and Xerox Interpress both support multiple coded character sets simultaneously, although Xerox Interpress favours XCCS Xerox Coded Character Set which is the conceptual precursor of Unicode. Xerox Interpress in addition has a default metric coordinate system and strict page-independent structure that Adobe PostScript does not have.
    At the Seybold Conference on Computer Publishing in September 1989, Dr John Warnock stated that the aim was to be able to send a page description around the world. In order to do this, first, the page-dependent structuring of Adobe PostScript had to be converted into a page-indendent structuring principle suited for drawing pages in any order on the digital graphic display.
    But neither Adobe PostScript nor Xerox Interpress, being appearance-oriented page descriptions, had a strong concept of a standard coded character set that structured the imaging process. Adobe PostScript is in fact a strategy to overcome drawing on a digital device with small coded character sets containing incompatible constituencies of character codes.
    The Adobe PostScript rasteriser deals with glyph names and not with character codes and some sort of solution had to be sought so that source character information could be synthesised in converting page-dependent PostScript into the page-independent page description model of what in June 1993 was introduced as Portable Document Format version 1.0.
    This solution is to try to use font-independent glyph identifiers as glyph names so that the conversion from Adobe PostScript to Adobe Portable Document Format carries forward a clue about the source character information. There is no concept in PDF of page text, as if the source character information were contained in the page description.
    This is the core of the commercial conflict between Adobe Systems which is trying to preserve its market share for the Adobe Portable Document Format, and to introduce Adobe PDFXML as a more serviceable and more sustainable solution for computerised full phrase cataloguing, and on the other hand Microsoft XPS XML Paper Specification which does indeed have a concept of page text for computerised full phrase cataloguing.

  • HT2693 how can i save my pages document as a PDF file or jpeg now?

    Hi...
    How can i save my pages document as a PDF file or Jpeg file now that the share is NA.

    In Pages, go to File > Export > Word, so the document will be saved in .doc to be able to use it in Word

  • How do you convert a pages document to a pdf document?

    How do you convert a pages document to a pdf document?

    Often the reason Share > via e-mail doesn't work is an "illegal" character in the file name. The most common problem character is a / but any character not allowed in Windows can be a problem.

  • HT4641 Unable to share Pages document as a PDF document in email.

    I am having difficulty exporting documents created in Pages as PDFs. I have a New iPad. Latestest iOS installed 5.1.1. I ReInstalled the app and restarted my iPad. I have emailed myself PDFs from Pages many times. Installing the iOS update (5.1.1) was around the same time I started having the problem.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    When I 'email the PDF' it shows up as an image in the email instead of an attachment. I, also, cannot 'Open In...'

    Hello,
    Thank you for taking an interest in the issue I have been having with sending myself a PDF from a Pages-created document. The problem started when I went to send myself an PDF from Pages and in the email I received, I was unable to tap-hold to get the option to 'Open In...', 'View in iBooks', or 'Quick View'. A tap-hold was giving me the option to 'Save Image' or 'Copy'. 
    This is a list of the steps I am taking to remedy/isolate the issue:
    1) Re-install the app
    2) Re-start the iPad
    3) 'Soft Reset' of iPad in Settings by erasing all data and documents
    4) Restoring my iPad from the iCloud 
    5) 'Hard Reset' of iPad using iTunes return to factory settings
    6) Reinstalled only Pages on my iPad (problem changed to 'Quick View' option with hold-tap). **Note, the PDFs sent to my iPhone started behaving as normal and as expected. 
    **Note, after installing iBooks on my factory-bare iPad I was able to get the expected options when I did a hold-tap.
    7) Currently, I am in the process of re-installing applications one at time. I will be following up with sending myself test PDF file attachments. Perhaps, I will be able to identify a 'buggy' application that is in conflict with Pages--perhaps, the the problem is 'solved'.
    I can forward the email to you that has the corrupt PDF attachment, and I can email you the Pages document. I suspect I can also send you the document as a PDF as I had hoped to send myself several days ago.
    I am not sure where the best place to send the requested documents. Is <[email protected]> the best place?

  • Help! Can't email pages document in pdf

    I'm trying to send a one-page letter that is to be inserted into a book.  The recipient needs the document in PDF format.  I saved it in PDF but when I try to attach it, the whole text prints out into the email instead of a link to an electronic pdf file.  I am able to attach an electronic file of the Pages version, just not PDF.  I'm using Hotmail and a 2011 MacBook Air with Pages '09 version 4.3.

    BCG,
    You are sending a PDF file. It's a feature of Mac Mail, and perhaps other email clients, that the content of a 1-page pdf is displayed automatically, but be assured there is an attachment there that your recepient can save and work with normally.

  • 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.

  • Script to merge data from Numbers into Pages document, export as PDF and send via email

    Hi,
    I am wondering if it would be possible to achieve the following with an applescript:
    1. Merge Names from Numbers into a multi-page Pages document.
    2. Export each page of the resulting document as a PDF
    3. Attach each of these PDFs to an email with specific text in the body of the email, setting the subject, the 'from' email address, as well as the 'to' email address from a field in the Numbers document.
    4. Optionally send the emails automatically.
    I would be glad to know if this is possible before I embark on trying to write such a script, and for any advice/script that would help me on my way.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Thanks Bernard.  Sorry if my original post wasn't that clear.  I think you've pretty much got it in your paragraph starting "So, I think you're asking for", but will explain more in the hope that it will be clearer:
    I have a Numbers table with 2 columns: Name and Email.  I have say 50 people in this table and I need to email each person a version of a one page Pages document which would be identical except for their name.
    The Name field is the only field that needs to be merged into the Pages document (one time only).
    Once the merging has taken place the versions of the one page Pages document need to be exported as a PDF and attached to emails, one email from each person in the table in the Numbers document, with each email going to the email address corresponding to the name in the Numbers document.
    The text in the email would be identical except for the name again.  The text for the email body, subject as well as the 'from' field would be contained in the script (i.e. generated by the script).
    It would also be good to have the option of sending the emails automatically or manually, so that I could check that the emails that are generated are correct before sending.
    I hope that's clearer!

  • Emailing Pages Exported from a PDF

    Many of our users have large PDFs and would like to extract specific pages and email the extracted pages.
    They select File, Attach to Email.  Unfortunately, the Attach button is dimmed on the task pane.
    However, if they save the extracted pages as a new document, it's fine.
    Is there any way to do this without needing to save the extracted pages?
    Thanks.

    No, the file must be saved before it can be emailed.
    This has changed with the last version of Acrobat. Before it was possible
    to email an unsaved file, but not anymore.

  • Unable to email Pages documents

    I am unable to send a Pages document in an email. I am using the new Pages for Mac, which I already have many issues with. However, at the moment, it does not allow me to send the Pages file in an email. I am also unable to attach/upload a Pages file to a gmail email on the gmail website. Are other people having this issue? I know that my sister is also having problems with this.

    Solution!!!:
    1 - Send it by exporting to office files
    2 - Saving the files as old iwork documents
    3 - Command P and save as PDF
    4 - Save in icloud and send the URL
