Exporting problems with pages

How come whenever I export a document, in this case an essay, it is exported and saved using text edit? This is a huge problem for me since text edit doesnt support MLA format. Please help

Are you using Pages or TextEdit?
Pages will export to .txt but only if you deliberately choose to do so.

Export problems with pages/ save as word document results in corrupted text

This may be a new problem with Pages as I have not seen this happen with previous versions but, when I export a page made with a template, it ends up with merge problems - headers end up at the foot and invisible text regarding merge showing. When saved, a error box opens saying that merge fields are not save or similar, and I end up with a non friendly .doc file.

Problem with Pages on the iPad 2.

Hi all,
I have been having a strange problem with Pages on the iPad that I hope someone can find a solution for.
As a writer, I find that Pages on the iPad is a very good solution to my problem of needing something small and light to transport around, whilst still allowing me to do some serious writing. I use the Apple 3 battery bluetooth keyboard, and this gives me a superb working solution.
I started using the iPad 2 to do my second book and for the first 40,000 words everything was fine. But as I started going back and forth with the cursor keys, editing passages in the book, I noticed that the cursor position did not match up with the I beam cursor on screen. As it transitioned between pages it would loose it's corresponding position and the entry point for new text could be up to six characters in either direction.
Now this is not a problem if you enter a new page, as there is nothing beyond it, but in the majority of cases it is a major problem when going back over your work and editing it. I have to manually reset the start position of every new page so as to garantee the typing will go where I want it to.
Now I thought at first this was something to do with Bluetooth keyboard, but after using the onscreen keyboard and the find and replace function, I have noticed that it loses it's position in the document in a similar way. I have included a screen shot of it finding a problem I was searching for. In this case it is ", and" to be replaced with "and," or "and". Clearly in the image you can see that it is not happy and is not selecting the right things, if I replace it will replace exactly what is selected.
Has anyone else seen this problem. It seems to happen with large or small documents and I think that this is a fundamental problem with Pages on the iPad. Seeing as I can't get Apple to acknowledge this I brought it here for everyone else to check out. If we get enough voices on this, then we can make change happen.

That's right Br Abdullah, I'm finding the same problem with my itune Arabic library that I synced to iBooks version 1.5! As you say the pages are not arranged correctly.
The other problem that I'm finding is that the highlights & notes that i have made on the books on a previous version of ibooks, when synced with ibooks version 1.5, they are scattered everywhere, and sometimes in areas where there are no texts.
I left a message on the report a bug section of iBooks on the app store, and I contacted them on their feedback of apple product issues. I don't know what else we can do. It seems that no one is listening to us. I'm Dissapointed that I upgraded my iBooks version to 1.5; I was really looking forward to reading on my new iPhone 4S (on iBooks)!
What else can we do to get our concerns heared? Somebody? Anybody?

Problem with page numbering in Acrobat XI Pro

Hello community,
I got a problem with page numbering with certain documents in Acrobat XI Pro.
The next error comes up:
Translated in English:
There is an error occured when getting up of page-content.
This is occured with certain pdf-documents (i cannot uploading this file).
Is someone have similar problem, or has someone hev a sollution for this?
Greetings,
Bart

This usually means the file is corrupt, probably because it was not created
using a standard application like Adobe Acrobat.

I have a problem with Pages shutting down my documents.

I have a problem with Pages shutting down my documents. I have several
several documents on my homepage,but once I select one it shuts down and
goes to the ipad homepage.Other documents open with no problem.
Can someone tell me what's happening
antdel

Pages is crashing for some reason.
You say that other documents open with no problems, do you mean other Pages documents or documents in another app?
Try closing Pages completely in the recents tray and reboot your iPad. See if that helps. If it doesn't help, you may have to delete and reinstall Pages. If that doesn't work, you might have a corrupt document that you need to track down and delete.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Problems with Pages 5 docs converting to Word docs

It seems with the new upgrade on my MacBook Air, I have a glitch. Now when I convert a Pages doc to Word, the page breaks get removed and the doc turns into a sea. Also, I sent this new Word doc to my Kindle to upload into ebook form (never had a problem with Pages 09 previously, always came out beautifully) and now the doc turns into a digitally mangled mess. Any ideas?? Thank you.

Usually when it does that it is because there is an XML table somewhere buried in there and either the table width or margin indents are forcing the text far left.
Hard to pin down the problem with being able to examine the actual file contents.
…and Pages 5 is buggy.
So why don't you just use Pages '09? It works.

Problem with Pages 09 after latest Snow Leopard Update

I upgraded Snow Leopard with the latest update this afternoon, and now I am having all sorts of problems with Pages. Most importantly, the Pages templates are all messed up, with formatting all screwed up and the typesetting a mess. Has anyone else experienced such problems with Pages after the update? I may have to revert back to pre-update Snow Leopard if this can't be resolved, since I use Pages for my work. Any assistance here would be appreciated!

You can install the combo over the delta (Software Update version). I did after I inadvertently used Software Update on my MacBook Pro. That's what I get for trying to update 3 Macs at one time.
Here is the link to the Mac OS 10.6.4 combo updater.

Problem with page preview : transodification of ':' and '/'

Hello
we got a problem with page and iview preview on production system (7.01).
The preview fail with a simple message "Erreur d'exécution portail / Exception lors du traitement de la requête, envoyez l'ID de l'exception à votre administrateur du portail" ("Portal execution error / exception during request treatment, send exception Id to your portal administrator").
The user possess full admin role, as weel as autorisations onto the page. He can use the page when it's in the menu, but visualizing the page via preview fail.
after comparing the preview URL from production system against the preview URL from development, we spotted a difference :
on the dev portal, the URL is
http://portal:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/preview/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.company.directory.SpecificApp!2fcom.company.directory.LeaveRequest!2fcom.company.directory.Employee!2fcom.company.page.MyRequests?sap-config-mode=true
on the production portal, the preview URL is
https://portal/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/preview/prtroot/pcd!253aportal_content!252fcom.company.directory.SpecificApp$!252fcom.company.directory.LeaveRequest!252fcom.company.directory.Employee!252fcom.company.page.MyRequests?sap-config-mode=true
As you can see, the ":" are transcoded into !3a on dev, and !253a on prod (and the "/" are respectively transcoded into !2f and !252f)
the other difference is the use of an alias (http://portalprod/irj against http://portal:port/irj), and the use of a secured connexion (https).
does someone know where this problem could come from ?
regards,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
Could it be possible that there would be a SAP Web Dispatcher on the Production Portal and not on the dev portal.
You should use a tool like HTTPWATCH to see if you get HTTP redirects.
Regards,
Olivier

I'm having constant problems with pages not working. I.E.: I cannot fill in writeable fields, click on buttons... or anything... nothing on the page works. And, this is not exclusive to a particular site. I can, however, work well in Explorer.

For the last few weeks I have had constant problems with pages not working. I.E.: I cannot fill in writeable fields, click on buttons... or anything... nothing on the page works. And, this is not exclusive to a particular site. It does seem to be a browser issue, because I can work well in Explorer.

Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

Problems with pages loading

We are having a lot of problems with pages loading slowly or not at all. We get this message all the time...server not found...even on pages that have just recently been visited. We have this problem with Safari, Firefox, and Camino. I don't have Internet Explorer installed, but why should I just keep adding new browsers. My ISP assures me that the connection is fine. I have emptied caches, cookies, whatever I can find to empty. Did I empty too much? We use a Netgear router and a company called Digitron. Any suggestions?

Hi
Perhaps the easiest way to sort this out is to set up a separate Network Location for your connection:
-Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
-Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Only Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply".
-Back to the "Show" menu, select "Airport". Click on the TCP panel. There, enter 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box and select "apply". Also, you can always call your Internet Provider to find out if they have specific codes.
Creating a personal location, plus adding the DNS codes seems to speed things up. Otherwise, the "automatic" function has a tendency to "search" for available locations, hence creating the lag you are seeing.
Lastly, in the Finder, go to your Applications>Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open copy/paste lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
If the above doesn't help, I suspect the Router is the problem. Perhaps you need to upgrade its firmware. Check at the Netgear site>Support.

Satellite L30: Vista problems with pages minimising

Hi,
i have just bought the toshiba Satellite L30 laptop and i am am having problems with pages minimising whenever i click on the page. Most of the time this happens when i click on the scroll bar, but it also happens when i click on any part of the page and when im typing.
It's getting very annoying. I have only had this laptop for about 2 weeks and the problem has been there since day one. Im runing Windows vista home basic.
Does anyone know the cause and/or how to sort it out?

Hi there,
be more precisely with your error description, because its hard for anyone whos reading this to find out some problems without knowing which "pages" do you mean. What a kind of program do you use?? Word, Internet Explorer or what???
Please, do us and yourself a favor and tell the problem with more details, that we can maybe help you. Or at least make some thoughts about your problem. :)
Greetings ;)

PDF export problem in Pages/Keynote/Preview

I am having some problems with PDF exports (and "Print as PDF") from Pages (as well as Keynote and Preview). Here is my situation:
I am creating a PDF of a barchart+legend from the program Mathematica. I suspect the way the exported PDF is formatted is that the chart and legend are two blocks within the PDF. This PDF opens perfectly in Preview and Adobe Reader, and imports perfectly into Pages and Keynote. However, when the Pages/Keynote document is exported to PDF or printed to PDF, the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not in either the Mac or Windows version of Adobe Reader (part or all of the image fails to appear with a generic "An error exists on this page, please contact the author of this document to correct this problem" error message). This also happens with the PDF is exported/printed as PDF from Preview itself - the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not with Acrobat.
Any suggestions? While I could reconstruct the barcharts individually in Pages itself, for the sorts of documents I'm working on I could easily have dozens of PDFs to import for a single project, and it's much easier to export the files from Mathematica as the analysis is done than rebuild each one from scratch.

As far as I know, there is no provision for such settings in these programs.
Developer documentation for ICC colour management in Firefox 2, Firefox 3 and Firefox 3.5, see below. Firefox 3 has ICC colour management disabled by default. Firefox 3.5 has ICC colour management for images within which there is embedded an ICC source colour space profile. It is possible to set Firefox to colour manage the application windows as well as images with embedded ICC profiles. The developer documentation discusses how to do this in what sounds suspiciously like a command line / terminal tool, and also how to point Firefox 3.5 to the display profile. This in turn sounds suspiciously like Firefox 3.5 is unable to talk to the system level service and ask for the display profile automatically.
Camino and Opera ... I'll pass. I suspect it's more of the same mess.

Exporting TIFF with Pages

Hi everyone. I'm a stranger here and need your help.
I got a huge problem when I tried to export TIFF images with Pages.
I use Pages to create documents or issues and export them into TIFF, then send them to printers. Everything is OK with Lion. But since I updated to Mountain Lion, I couldn't do that anymore. When I choose Print/Save PDF to folder as TIFF, I got a warning saying "The action “Render PDF Pages as Images” encountered an error." I've searched on the Internet and got some solutions but they didn't work. I couldn't find any workflows in Library/PDF Services except "Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder" and "Mail PDF" which I don't use. Again, with Lion, I can find those workflows, change the rules or create a new one. But now, with MT, in two Library folders, I can't find those workflows. Oddly enough, they appear on the PDF menu in Pages.
I can only use Pages to create things, currently I just can't finish my work. I'm very nervous.
Thank you all!(I'm Chinese, so maybe there're something wrong in that pragraph, SORRY!!)

The pixels are not the actual measure of quality.
It is true you need 300dpi or 120lpc for quality output, but OSX may be downgrading the resolution of all or parts of the page and all you are doing is uping the resolution from the lower OSX output.
More pixels, same information does not improve the quality.
Are your actual photos in the layout 300dpi images at the size they are used? If so, without any transparency they should stay that resolution in the pdf and final output.
A pdf file opened in Preview and saved as a tiff allows you to set the resolution anyway. Make sure it is the same as in Pages any change will blur/degrade the images.
Text should be at a much higher resolution to be sharp (at least 800dpi preferably 1200), and best left as vector graphics in a pdf file.

PDF export - problems with displaying tables

Hi,
I have nice and neat rtf template with some text and big table. It looks fine, but when I export it to PDF it starts the table from new page, not just below the text, which results in 75% blank page. How can I fix it?

We are using the PDF Export 8.3.7 version, and are having a similar problem. We have a Word file (.doc) with an embedded graphic. Inside the graphic is a table (the original graphic was created some where else and had text and a table, then an image was made of that which was then embedded as a graphic in the Word document). The problem is that the table does not render corretly - the last row of data is not displayed. Oddly, if in the resulting PDF/A output you highlight the region where the data should be displayed, and copy that to Word/Notepad, the data is there, the issue seems to be in rendering the data to make it visible in the rendered PDF/A output. We see other problems with tables in other files, for example some tables are rotated ninety degrees.
Will there be a fix to PDFExport anytime soon?
Thanks,
Kevin

Synching problems with pages and numbers

After an initial problem with synching which was resolved with Yosemite Pages and Numbers have been synching across all my devices for a couple of weeks and now all of a sudden they have stopped again!! They synch across my phones and iPad but not to my macbook pro!! Very very annoying! How do I resolve it?

Found a solution, but it is odd:
On the 2008 Mac Pro, I UNCHECK the boxes beside Pages and Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options. Now Pages and Numbers will properly save edited documents to the appropriate folders on iCloud Drive.
Go figure ...
Hope that this helps someone else.
