Exporting document from Pages to PDF repeats the same picture throughout the document

I am creating a 4-page newsletter in Pages, and the final page has a series of jpeg photos (six of them) dragged from iPhoto onto the document. The photos are then given a Picture Frame and a shadow. I then save the document and choose FILE - EXPORT, choose PDF with an image quality of "Good". On the resulting PDF file, the first of the six jpeg images repeat in the locations where the other 5 should be. So I get a page with the same picture repeated 5 times.
Any suggestions?
I have tried changing the image quality to "better" and it exhibits the problem there as well. Note that it works fine if I choose File-Print and then save a PDF, but that results in a 65mb or larger file, and I need it to be as small as possible to email.
Pages '09 (v4.1)

Do the images have the same name? if so change the names before adding them to your Pages document.

Is there a way to Export text from Pages 09 to Keynote 09 Slides?

I wanted to make an outline for a presentation in Pages 09 and then export it to Keynote 09 as slide text. But did not want to have to copy it piece by piece. I know you can do this with Word, but I would rather do stuff like this in Pages and Keynote.
Thanks!

There isn't any export feature from Pages to Keynote. Have you tried Copy and Paste?

Exporting from InDesign to PDF, and the updated PDF is larger than a month ago and not printing easily on letter paper, it is PDF presets?

Hello,
I am exporting from InDesign to a PDF and the page is larger in the PDF then others I have exported. Is this because of the PDF presents? One of the project managers is not able to print it out on 8.5 x 11 paper, but the document presets for InDesign are the same as before. I wish I could upload the PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is larger than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF binder and the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets. Any thoughts?

I suspect the project manager simply has his/her copy of Reader/Acrobat set to print at actual size, rather than "Fit" (assuming the InDesign page size is truly 8.5 x 11).
..the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets.
It would have nothing to do with export presets. How are you determining that half-inch difference?

The file "Acceptance Letter.pages" doesn't exist. Since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro I cannot save or export from Pages. Just get the message at beginning of this post. How to solve problem?

I cannot save or export from Pages since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro . I just get the message at beginning of this post “Acceptance Letter.pages” doesn’t exist or whatever file title I have inserted How to solve problem?

Thanks Peter but I was not seeking to store with I-Cloud. In fact I never store documents with I-cloud.
I was in fact trying to store the files to Documents, which is where I usually keep such things.
Have now discovered that if I leave the file untiled and simply close it, rather than saving it then it will save, oddly, to Documents. I then have to re-title it and move to the folder I want it in.
Despite the above, even once it is titled and saved in Documents then if I reopen it I still cannot then Export it to a Word or PDF file. I still just get the message . xxxxxx.pages does not exist!
Bad news as I am constantly exporting documents to Word and PDF to send to others who do not use a Mac

Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

I have a problem with my Pages
My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
fonts are missing...
Is there a workaround.
I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
I need help
thanks a zillion

The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
Good luck,

Export from Pages in pdf and word

I made a report in Pages (05) (only 4 pages long) with a few photographs and exported it into a Word file because I needed to print through Microsoft (using a usb stick); Microsoft could not open the file; the same problem with this file exported in pdf (Adobe Reader); also on my own computer the Word program does not open the file (office 2004 for Mac); the pdf works fine;
after installation of iWork 06 the problem remained the same;
other files from Pages, from the past wich I saved in Word, don't have this problem; opening is not a problem;
is there a special reason for this one file to cause problems??
thanks, Dag

I've checked the foto's and their info once more, and there all in .jpg;
in fact, I 've opened the same template again, imported one of the same foto's and exported it in Word,.....no problems!!!
I guess it stays a mistery, any way many thanks for your reply,
greetings, Dag

Exporting out of Pages to PDF results in large files

I frequently have to post files for my students to download in PDF. Many of these things are worksheets or outlines that have no pictures on them whatsoever. I've noticed recently that older things that I have exported from MS Word on the PC were significantly smaller than the things I'm currently exporting from Pages. One recent comparison had an old MS Word export at 52Kb and a recent pages export at 135Kb.
Could the font I am using and embedding be effecting this? Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
I feel like I'm using up a lot of space a lot of bandwidth unnecessarily by posting bigger files. Any help that anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I created a 2 page, 877 word document (copied the text from here) in Arial and made a Pages and Word for Mac copy. I deleted the Pages Sections.
Test sizes
Pages (blank portrait WP template): 126,006 bytes
Pages (above with sections deleted): 97,541 bytes
Pages pdf : 24,751 bytes
Word .doc: 34,304 bytes
Word .docx: 144,575 bytes
Word pdf: 33,692 bytes
The worst case is .docx and a Word pdf is almost 50% larger than a Pages pdf, which is itself 2/3rds the size of a native .doc file.

How do I save or export my web pages as PDF files?

I'm trying to save or export web pages from my Firefox that I'm using on Windows Vista as PDF files. There isn't an option for this nor any information in your help files on this. Thanks for your time and I look forward to a response.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I tried to save a page as PDF today, June 29, 2010

Actually, you should right-click on the collection and choose the command Export This Collection As Catalog (and check the box next to Include Negatives). This will create a new catalog and you can move this and the photos thus created to the 2nd computer and then in Lightroom on the 2nd computer use File->Import from Another catalog

Extract / export image from Pages

I have an image on a Pages document that I want to extract to save as the image only as a jpg.
I've found the following link to an answer: Extract/ export images from a Pages document?
But I can't seem to find this File Info option on Pages 5.5.2.
Any ideas?
Regards, Mel

That instruction is for the version of Pages that works, Pages '09.
And you are not using Mavericks.
Before Yosemite it used to be possible to copy anything and create a new file in Preview .app just by going command n, but Yosemite now turns the clipboard into a low res 72dpi file, rasterising all text and vector content.
Like every thing Apple does lately, Yosemite is a huge step backwards and undoes all the good work that went into OS X in the last 15 years.
If the multiple items are all bitmap images, you can create a blank bitmap file in Preview:
1. Make a simple screen grab of a white area anywhere in view with command shift 4 > drag over area
2. Make that screen grab the size you want it to be under Tools in Preview
3. Open your original images in Preview and Copy/Paste them one by one into the blank file, positioning and resizing as you go.
4. Saving will freeze the final design as one image.

How do I import a web page as PDF? The import feature in my file dropdown menu doesn't seem to be working.

If I remember correctly, firefox for linux previously had an option to import a web page as PDF. Now it doesn't seem to be working that way anymore. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx with the most recent Firefox program.

That's just the standard notice when you install an addon from the AMO web site.
Wasn't the '''Install Now''' button active?
Sometimes you have to wait for up to 4 seconds for that button to be active - IOW, not greyed-out.

I'm finding it difficult creating exporting EPUB from pages. Help please!

Hello,
I'm finding it quite complicating on how to create and export EPUB files from pages so I can use these to send to iBooks on the iBook store.
Can someone please tell me in the simplest term, how to create and export an EPUB file in pages please???
Thank you!

That's fine. If I wrote my book on pages on iPad, could I send via email as pages doc to my mac then open in pages on my mac and then export to EPUB from my mac?
I like writing on the move.
Thanks

Problems turning Illustrator pages into PDFs at the SAME SIZE...?

Something weird is happening for me, when I attempt to turn Illustrator layouts in PDFs or maybe it's "normal" for Acrobat to do this, but I don't like it and I want to fix it...
I have a page laid out in Illustrator. It's RGB, 1024x768 pixels in size, and has various JPGs at 72dpi placed on the page, and it has text on it too.
Everything is laid out pixel-perfect, and when I view it at 100% size in Illustrator, that's the size I want to the PDF to be as well, when the PDF is viewed at 100% size. The PDF is going to be viewed on-screen and the images contained in the file have various lines and suchlike in it that absolutely have to be viewed at 100% size, or they appear all blurry.
So I have my Illustrator document, at 100% size, and it looks perfect. I go to File > Save A Copy and save a version of it as a PDF.
I use the Illustrator Default settings (which, when I go through them all one by one, would indicate to me nothing about a file size conversion, no downsampling, etc.) and my PDF is generated.
However... when I then open up the PDF file in Acrobat Professional, the page it has created is way larger than my Illustrator page. So if I view my new PDF at 100% size, not only has the 72dpi image gone all blurry, but the boundaries of the page extend off the edge of my screen.
I would hazard a guess that in order to get my PDF to appear at the size it *should* be, I have to view it in Acrobat at *about* 75% - but the images are still blurry, because of the re-sizing.
So all I'm asking is for a simple way to get what's in Illustrator to convert to PDF at the same size.
Surely there must be a way?
Any help anyone?
I'm using Illustrator CS3 13.0.2 and Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, running on Mac OS X 10.5.2 on Intel.

> You can't. Well, YOU can, by adjusting your resolution setting in Acrobat...
>No, even *I* can't. *MY* views in Acrobat and Illustrator of the SAME document, when BOTH viewed at 100% are DIFFERENT sizes.
Because you haven't adjusted your resolution settings.
>And what do you mean by "adjusting your resolution setting in Acrobat" anyway? I *assume* you mean by adjust your view magnification settings?
No, that is your current magnification. Your resolution is set in the
"page display" section of Acrobat's preferences. Each user can set it
differently.
>But if I lay out a document or image intended for print in InDesign or Quark or Photoshop, the way I see it when I view it 100% size will be exactly the same as anyone else on any other computer will see it when viewed at 100% size.
Not in Acrobat.
> Acrobat is also used to create on-screen presentations, complete with hyperlinks and page transitions options, which obviously have no use in the print world.
Indeed. And people have free choice of how to view them. What you
can't do is do pixel-level design. You can control the open options,
like what magnification, whether the full page is visible, but you
can't control how many pixels that uses, so you cannot match it to
some other application.

Export Tables from Pages to Numbers with AppleScript?

I've hit a stumbling block while trying to use AppleScript to remove a table from pages and paste it into Numbers.
I've found no way to directly identify the table in the document to copy for pasting into Numbers and I've been unable to remove the other information from the document to isolate the table for a select all command.
The easiest thing I can think of is a AppleScript to remove the first set of characters before the table or to explicitly extract tables only from the document.
I've tried all manners of AppleScripts and I can't seem to get it to work. None of the AppleScript text selection commands work to remove the information other than the table.

Try selecting the whole of the contents of the document and then running:
tell app "Pages"
selection
end tell
This will return a list of the selected objects, amongst which you should see something like: table 1 of body text of document id 15373020 of application "Pages"
With that data you should be able to select just that item:
select table 1 of body text of document id 15373020 of application "Pages"
Obviously that's just an example. If you were scripting this, you would most likely work through the list filtering only those objects you want to work with - the tables in this case.
