Exporting Grapher documents into Pages

I've tried to insert a Grapher document into a Pages '09 document; the image was awful! No matter what format I used (TIFF, PDF, JPEG) to export the Grapher file, the image in Pages '09 was unusable.
The manual by Yves Barois is excellent for learning to use Grapher in the first place, but he does not go into detail about exporting the graphs for use in a text document.
Would this be any better in Pages 5.1?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Bonjour,
Your last post :
I don't mind about "This solved my question" awards, points etc. I'm no more a child… unfortunately ! What is important : a useful help, that's all.
About page 62 list : I did not add a comment for each process, as good, bad. The users must try and choose the best way…
Changing the names of axes : select an axis (one click) > open Inspector > uncheck the Label box, that remove x or other ones. > menu Object > Insert Text > Type the new name > set size and move the text box to the right place.
The coordinate name cannot be changed in the equations : only x, y, z, r, r0, theta, phi, as coordinate names.
Thanks for details of your Grapher work. I understand you want to illustrate the uniform circular motion. I just build a graph showing a point on a circle and another on a sine curve, both moving period T = 10 s, time value displayed on graph. It's a Grapher .gcx.zip of 78 Ko. I animated the parameter time and made a QuickTime .mov.zip file of 3,7 Mo. (static image in attachment). If you want to use these files, send me an e-mail (address on the last page of my website, no spam, no advertising).
Enjoy,

Why pages sometimes tells me : "an unknown error occurred" when trying to export a document into .docx or .pdf ?

Hello !
Since I've done the 5.0 update for Pages (and also with 5.1 and 5.2), I sometimes don't manage to export my documents into .docx or .pdf files. I get a message telling: "an unknown error occured", and the file isn't converted. Could someone help me ?

Other than using the version that works, as VikingOS suggests, look for any distinguishing features or objects that may be common amongst the files that won't convert. Particularly Tables which seem to experience the most problems.
We have had a number of reports of this by other users and not been able to finger exactly what is the cause.
Pages 5.2 has quite a few problems with exporting and this is just another.

How can I paste a pdf of a Publisher document into Pages so I can edit?

I have been asked to print a document that was created in Publisher on a PC. I have been sent a pdf of the document, which is A4, printed both sides, with four A6 text boxes on each side, with the same artwork and text in each box. The trouble is, the layout is wrong so when it is cut into four the margins are not even. I have Acrobat 7.0 Standard (which is know is very old) but I haven't used it much and can't work out how to edit the pdf. At the moment all I can do is copy and paste the entire document into Pages but then I can't extract just one A6 text box from the rest. If I could do that it would be a breeze to set it up correctly in Pages so that it works when cut into four A6 pieces. When I go to Get Info it says it is not locked and I have permission to read and write.
Can anyone explain these things to a beginner, please?
Thanks!

There are several ways we can go about this.
*1. In Adobe Illustrator* you can open the pdf file directly and chop out the bits you don't want and resave them individually. There maybe problems with fonts not being embedded as it comes from a PC where such things are mostly verbotten.
*2. In Acrobat* you can do some editing and avoid the fonts issue. But the procedure is a bit more involved.
If it helps, you need 2 things:
+Menu > Tools > Advanced Editing > Select Object Tool+ and
+Menu > Split Document… / Crop Pages…+
Using this you can unpick the pdf file removing the parts you don't want. Not as simple as it sounds because you need to understand why some objects select with others and why some are unselectable which has to do with grouping, masking and compounding.
*3. In Preview* cut apart the multiple pages and parts of each page. To split the multiple pages you will have to open the set and then delete the pages you don't want and save the remaining page with a new name.
To delete a page click on it in the sidebar and hit delete.
To crop a page use the +Select Tool+ in the top of the window and drag around the part of the page you want then +Menu > Tools > Crop+ and resave with a new name. Be aware this does not actually get rid of anything outside the select it just crops the view of it.
*4. Which brings us to Pages*. Having divided the pdf into individual page files you can then drag them into Shapes on your page the size of the parts you want to show.
When you click on the shape with page in it a little bar shows up underneath with +Edit Mask+. Click on the +Edit Mask+. You will see the shape, which is the mask, gets a grey dotted outline with white resizing boxes on the corners and mid points. If you need to adjust the crop or size of the shape drag on these.
Behind the shape outline is the image with the cropped parts outside shown greyed out. The greyed out part is the hidden part. If you click outside the shape but on the greyed out part of the image you select the image itself and can pull at its corners or sides to change its shape. Or if you just click on the greyed part of the image you can move it around so that it moves relative to the shape cropping it.
If you have several sections to be shown in each shape, you can move them one at a time to show each one. Say you have 4: 2 top and 2 bottom, option drag the shape with the picture in it to make 4 copies. Then in each one pull the image to reveal in turn top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right.
Do this till you have all the parts separated and rearrange them where you want.
*A bonus tip:* Cut out a step by opening Preview, next to Pages, with the multiple pages showing in the sidebar. You can drag the pages from the sidebar directly into the shape in Pages, without having to divide the .pdf.
Any further questions just ask.

Exporting Indesign document into PDF

I have a worklow of 410 pages 13"x13" made entirely of photos. The work is in progress but I want to make a presentation of what has been done so far. I opted for exporting to PDF only screen and web visible and that worked fine. But when I tried to export the full version as if for pre-press, the exporting loaded the 410 pages and then collapsed saying, this document cannot be exporting to PDF.
What could be the problem? the extent of the work? the size of the file? missing links? wrong settings? Thanks for your help.

Probably file size and memory (or lack there of). Your machine has to load all the data for each picture, maybe re-res it to the PDF setting you specify, save the file. ID might need to have access to several GB of memory.
I'd suggest breaking it into maybe 100 page chunks. I bet each PDF file will still be nearly 100mb each! You could use Acrobat to combine them into one PDF file. But talk with your printer, they might be able to easily work with a couple smaller files for you. A 400mb PDF is pretty large (not impossible, just unusual).

Export iWeb entries into Pages

I'd like to export my entire iWeb site into Pages so I can edit and print as a document. Is it possible to do this other than using copy and paste one entry at at time?
Thanks for any assistance.

pbm,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
No, you cannot export to Pages. Even if you open the HTML file exported to a folder, you get different "layers" (background, text, images) on separate pages in Pages.
(Why do you want to edit the content in Pages and not in iWeb?)
To print as document, you could just print it from Safari.

How to I make all the pages in a Pages document into pages, not sections, to I can drag specific pages around and place them where I need them? When I try to drag a specific page, it drags an entire section.

How to I convert all the pages in a Pages document into simply pages, eliminating pages called "sections", so I can pick and chose specific pages to drag where I want (without dragging an entire section of pages)?

Insert a Section Break at the foot of each page
or:
Toolbar > Document > Document > uncheck Document Body
This will destroy any content in your document, but I presume that is what you want.

Can I automatically export a document in Pages '08 when I save it?

I use Pages '08 version 3.0.3 as my word processor. Often when I save a document I also export as a word doc. Is there any way to both save and export my document at the same time?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the idea, the only problem is that I can't afford to buy a new app. Is there a free app that will do the same thing, or could I use Automator? Also, I don't have any experience with this type of thing, how would I create this sequence once I have the proper app.
Thanks again for all your help.

IMPORT APPLEWORKS DOCUMENTS INTO PAGES

With appleworks totally dead (just found out with my lion update), I'm a teacher with 1000's of old AW files I might want to access, update or import into pages.... Is there a way?
I've got a 2009 iMac running lion, iworks 08 (rarely use), ipad 2.
Thanks

You won't need to run AppleWorks in an earlier OS IF, big IF, your AppleWorks files are AppleWorks 6 word processing, spreadsheet or presentation. The iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.
The third-party application, EazyDraw, can open AppleWorks draw documents. If you still have access to AppleWorks you can copy the contents of draw documents, paste them into an AppleWorks word processing document in object mode (click the arrow in the tool panel), save the WP document & then open it in Pages. You can copy & paste from AppleWorks to Pages but you would have to do it object by object or it will be one big uneditable object. Check Yvan Koenig's iDisk for many AppleScripts he has written to make conversion easier. Most are made to do batch conversions.
There is nothing other than AppleWorks that can open paint or database documents. Database data can be copied & pasted into an AppleWorks spreadsheet, saved & opened in Numbers or saved as ASCII/plain text & opened in most any spreadsheet, database or word processing program. Paint documents can be saved as one of many different formats to be opened in most image editing programs. I recommend using PICT or PNG for best results.

How do I import a pdf document into Pages?

How do I import or convert a PDF document into an iMac Pages document?

Drag and drop.....Open the Pages document, navigate to the .pdf in Finder, grab the .pdf and drop it into the Pages doc. Couldn't be easier. Very simple in a single page document in a multi page .pdf it might be easier to use Automator to grab the individual pages.
If you want to make the .pdf editable then you will need to get a license of Adobe Acrobat.

Bring html documents into Pages

Is there a program/visual editor that will let me bring html formatted documents (preserving columns, bold face, indents, etc) into Pages to edit? Maybe something like the old Netscape composer?

If you like Pages than try iWeb, an app included with iLife 06. It builds web pages graphically. You should have it on your machine.

Linking other documents into Pages

Hello. This is my first post and I'm a recent convert from a PC. I've scoured this forum for an answer and played for ages myself and not been able to sort out my problem - so I apologise in advance if its been answered a hundred times before!
I am preparing a report in Pages and I would like to include links within in it to select other objects, such as pdf files, presentations etc. I don't want these open all the time, just if the reader wants to access the info. I see how you can put in a link to call out another Pages report, but not say a pdf file. I have tried dragging and dropping a pdf from Finder, but it opens it out and I just want a little icon that the reader can select.
Any suggestions? Thanks. Katarine

Hi Katarine
Welcome to the forum.
Pages lets you link to other Pages documents, but not particular pages within those documents, bookmarks within the same document, and weblinks.
So the limitation will be yes you can link to .pdf files but they will need to be have an url and be on an accessible website.
As Yvan said you can ask Apple to make this more flexible:
+Menu > Pages > Provide Pages Feedback+

HT2518 I've transfered my PC documents to my Mac, but how do I get them into Pages? into Pages?

I've sucessfully transfered documents from my PC to my new MacPro via Migration assistant, which was easy. The documents are on my Mac, but how do I get them into Pages? I used Microsoft 2007 on the PC.

Thanks for the help, but I've dragged, dropped and done everything I can think of to get my documents into Pages, but they seem to ignore it. The only way I can even find the documents from my PC is as a sidebar on Finder. I can open each file in Finder, but there it ends. . . can't get them into Pages where I need them.
