How do I save a Pages 2012 document as an iWork '08 file?

Kev,
The File > Save... dialog seems to be only available for documents that are in an "unversioned" state. (I don't know what the official title is for the condition of having a document that is unmodified from its initial naming, so I'll call it "unversioned", meaning that it hasn't had a version update to it's base state.
If you start from a template your first save will be a File > Save... Right after this first Save, your document has no Version History. It's "unversioned".
If you File > Duplicate you have created a new document in an "unversioned" state and your next Command-S will give you the option to save a copy to '08 format, the same option you had during your first document save.
My understanding of this situation is that any file with a Version History is stored across two files, one with the base document and one containing the revisions, the changes you've made since the initial save. Save a Version updates the file containing the changes. File > Duplicate combines the base file and the revisions into one new base document, ready to be Saved. After saving, if you make some changes in this new document your option is again to Save a Version or Duplicate and the cycle continues.
There are also Revert options that I haven't discussed, but I haven't studied them to know what the menu behavior is.
I know it can seem confusing and I'm not defending it, but I will recognize Apple's right to try to move the technology forward and I accept that I can learn what's going on and move with them, or I can get off the bus and watch it go down the road without me. It's not the first time I've had to try to figure out what's going on, and I'm sure it won't be the last. If you think I have the logic wrong I'd love to discuss your observations. I'm not interested in discussing if Apple should be doing this or not.

How to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file?

Hi!
We are trying to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file. We are using Adobe Acrobat Standard v 9. Can it be possible?

I am also looking for feedback. Although having a PDF copy of a document is wonderful, long term and efficient archival for my workplace is tif or tiff.
Very frustrating that the PDF to tiff creates a separate tiff file for each page of the multi-page PDF document. Are there any options or work-arounds?

How do you save a Pages '09 document so that it can be read by an older Mac with Pages '08 loaded

I am trying out a version of iWork '09 but can see no way of saving a copy of documents in iWork'08 so that someone can read the documents who has not upgraded can read the document.

You can read one of the many threads about Save As… no longer in Lion. It has been replaced with Duplicate then Save… which gets you to the same dialog box. This screenshot is from Save in Numbers, but it looks the same in Pages. Check the box next to Save copy as & choose iWork '08 from the drop-down menu.

How can I save a page-tiled document as a multi-page PDF in CS6

This was very easy to do in earlier versions of Illustrator, but now it seems like the only option is to make a separate artboard for each page tile!! Please help!

i cannot figure this out, either. and i am also not able to set a custom page size to tile (in this case, tabloid/landscape). the dialog box defaults to my ppd for my epson printer (max size = letter) even when i select the drop down for "printing" to a post script file. I've been using illustrator since it's first release and i'm really surprised that this is rudimentary step in finalizing docs for release has been complicated.

HT3705 How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media?

I have created a brochure and would like to post it on Facebook. How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media and email? Do I have to save it as a jpeg or what other format can I save it in?

Ashe,
In Pages, Print to "PDF > Open PDF in Preview". From Preview, File > Export to the format or your choosing, one page at a time. For text, PNG would be better than JPG.

How do I save a Pages template as a separate document?

How do I save a Pages template as a separate document? I madea schedule template, and now that it is filled in for Sept/Oct, how do I save it as such?

The first time you save a document made from a template you will get the new document/save as dialog. A template is a special kind of document that will open a new, untitled document when you choose it, either in the template chooser or by double-clicking in a Finder window. A Pages template has the .template file extension. If your "template" isn't really a template, you will need to duplicate the document & then save it.

I assume you're using Pages on an iOS device since that is the forum you've posted in.
Tap on the wrench/spanner at the upper right & choose Share & Print. From there you can choose to e-mail or save to iTunes & then choose a format such as PDF or Word.
If you should be asking about Pages on a Mac, use File > Export & choose Word or PDF.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?

> How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

Please take a look at my replies and screenshots in the following forum post to transfer a PDF email attachment from the Gmail app for iOS to Adobe Reader for iOS.
How do I save a PDF attachment from Gmail to Adobe reader?
As I mentioned in the forum post, it requires many extra steps to transfer a PDF document from the Gmail app. This is because the Gmail app for iOS does not support "Open In..." as many other iOS apps do.
