How do I convert pages documents into a pdf format?

Many of the poster layouts do not save well as a ".doc" document.  The formating gets all screwy.  I have only the "pages" option or the ".doc" option for files under the "save as" dropdown.  No professional printing services in my area offer the ability to print pages documents.  They all recommended converting them to pdf.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks, Joe.

In OSX you can print anything to pdf ( see PDF button at bottom left of print dialog).
Pages also exports to pdf Menu > File > Export > PDF
However be aware that OSX will convert any transparent objects to low res 72 dpi bitmaps which are not suitable for commercial printers. Also it takes quite a bit of work to ensure that text is not in cmyk.

  • Exporting a Pages document into a PDF format

    When I export my pages document towards a PFD format, the arrows to my pictures are changing, change color or move. Anybody know why and how to solve this? I tried a the export qualitiy levels and this did not make a difference.  The first one is the PDF version  and the second one Pages version

    How did you create the arrows?
    Line with arrow head in Inspector > Graphic?
    What color did you apply to the arrows that change color?
    Have you applied a shadow to the arrows?

  • How can I convert page points into document points??

    Hello,
    How can I convert page points into document points? any API?
    I have found 2 APIs
    AIDocumentViewSuite::ArtworkPointToViewPoint( ) and
    AIDocumentViewSuite::ViewPointToArtworkPoint( )
    but I dont know what is view point and art work point.
    I think artwork point = page points and view points = document points. am I correct ???

    What do you mean by 'document points'? Do you mean document units? Like centimeters or inches? If that, there's no API to do (well, kind of in AIUser.h, but that gives you back a string with a unit suffix). Frankly, its pretty easy to just figure out the conversion values for each type of ruler unit -- there are only five or so you need -- and then write a dinky function that takes a value in one or the other, looks up the current document unit and uses that to convert the value (one function for each way). You just need to figure out everything in terms of points (since pixels == points) -- in that regard, it probably helps to know that 72 pt == 1 inch. From that you can figure out pointer-per-inch|centimeter|millimeter|pica.

  • How do I export Pages document into iPhoto

    How do I export Pages document into iPhoto?

    Hi PhilipFG and FoxFifth,
    I've been using the same process Pages > PDF > iPhoto.  However, when it gets to iPhoto there's a lot of waiting around time for it to allow me to do anything i.e. cropping, enhancing.  The little coloured ball is just turning and turning. It's not happy to be there!  There is a big difference (it appears) in the resolution when it ends up in iPhoto using this process.  The images have shadows.  My business partner has an older Mac and can export directly to iPhoto from Pages without having to create a PDF first.  Perhaps this is just an option on the older one but she now can't open the pages file I send to her either.  Besides the fact that she clearly needs a new Mac...has anyone any further updates on what else can be done to export directly to iPhoto?  TIA

  • How to convert a word document into the PDF format?

    Please instruct me step by step on how to convert several Word documents into the PDF format?

    If properly installed and updated (depending on the WORD version), you can simply do any of the following:
    1. Open the doc in WORD and select Print, choose the Adobe PDF printer, print.
    2. Open the doc in WORD and go to the Acrobat menu in WORD and select create PDF (this uses PDF Maker).
    3. Open the doc in Acrobat and the conversion should be done based on PDF Maker.

  • I need to know how to easily convert a document to a pdf using ocr.  I need a "readable document".  Please help.

    How do I convert a document to a pdf document using ocr.

    I typically create a TEST folder on the remote site.  Upload new pages and dependant files there for debugging and testing purposes.  Then using a 3rd party ftp ware (filezilla, cute ftp or Ws_ftp pro), I move the new site files & folders over to the root directory.  If you have used the same filenames as were on the old site, new pages will overwrite the old ones.  If you used a different naming convention, you will need to delete old files from server.

  • How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

    How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

    Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

  • How can I [cmd]+A including text boxes? Or how to import one Pages document into another Pages document?

    Hi there,
    I am working on my thesis with several Pages documents (for the first time). And I really have searched all over the Internet to find an answer to exactly my question but I cannot find it.
    First my question was: How can I import one Pages document into another one? I found the answer on that (I think) and there is nothing else than just make a new section and copy/paste it in.
    But then another issue pops up: I cannot [cmd]+A my whole document including the texboxes to paste it in the other Pages document. Then the document will be paste without the textboxes (and I have quite a lot of them in that document) and the text will not be at the right place.
    So please explain to me: How I can combine two Pages documents and keep them exactly the way they are? Is that even possible?
    I thank you so much in advance!

    Hi Fruhulda,
    I have already tried to mark the textboxes in line but that did not work, and besides then the text and the boxes won't be at the rigt places either. Thank you for your reply .

  • How to insert a pages document into another pages document?

    How can I insert a pages document into another one?
    How can I insert 1 page of a document into another document?

    Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.
