How do you open .pdf file in pages???

This seems like something very easy to do, but I can't get it to work.  How do I save a .pdf file from a disk into .pages, so I can work on it and make changes? I can save it in pages, but then it won't open in .pages.  it seems like it should be so easy.  About to break down and buy microsoft word and excel for the mac.

I have this http://www.smilesoftware.com/PDFpen/index.html but it does cost $60 (got it for $20 on some special years ago). There is a free trial if you only need to get out of a short term problem. And I think there are free alternatives but don't know. BTW, I have no connection to PDFpen.

  • How can I open PDF files?  The usual procedures don't work for me.  Thanks.

    How can I open PDF files?  Until a couple of months ago, I had no problem.  Now I can open none of them.  I have Adobe Reader X.  Yesterday I uninstalled Adobe X, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled Adobe X.  No success.  Thanks.

    What happens if you open Reader first then use File>Open like Bernd suggested?
    Are you sure you are opening them in Reader and not a text editor or MS Word? I ask because Reader will not prompt you for a language.

    You don't need to, and should not, install any software to view PDF's. They open in Safari from the web, or in Preview from the Finder.

  • How do I open PDF files on a website from my MacBook Air?

    I get only a blank page when I click on a pdf file on a website. (I am able to open in Safari with a right click.)
    I downloaded the PDF Viewer, but it didn't help.
    I went to TOOLS to disable blocking extensions, but none were listed.

  • How can I open PDF files in Firefox? Nothing works no matter what I try. Other browsers open them fine.

    When trying to open PDF file, screen just stays white and no content is seen. Status says "Done". PDF files will open with no problem in internet explorer, safari, and chrome. Nothing in Firefox which is my preferred browser.

    I have heard that trying to use Leopard with AppleWorks can cause a corruption of the hard drive. Is this true?
    No, not at all. AppleWorks actually runs better in Leopard on both my PPC & Intel Macs than it did in Tiger. I have found AppleWorks to be faster & more stable in Leopard on an Intel than any other system I've used.
    I repaired permissions (both before and after installing Leopard) and have also dumped AppleWorks preference file, then restarting all to no avail.
    There are more than one AppleWorks preferences to delete. Only deleting the .plist or just the files in the AppleWorks folder in Preferences will not work. They must all be deleted at the same time. Take a look at this user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly.
    Deleting the preferences often fixes printing problems. Also, make sure you have the newest driver for your printer from the manufacturer's web site.
    I did install Leopard as an update rather than wiping my HD and doing a new install. Should I delete AppleWorks and all associated files and reinstall AppleWorks and reinstall Leopard from scratch?
    Possibly. I chose to do erase & install with migrating users & data for all of my Macs. I did try the upgrade with the MacBook Pro & it was a disaster with failure to start up after installing Leopard. I was willing to take the chance because everything on my MacBook Pro is on my desktop Mac.

  • How can I open .pdf files in Safari 5.1 ?

    The Problem:
    After loading OSX 10.7.1, whenever I try to open a .pdf file from a website using Safari 5.1, I get a blank gray/black screen with the Quicktime  Q symbol in the middle.
    Notes:
    I downloaded and set my preference to use Adobe Reader version 10.1.1 on all .pdf files.  
    I am able to successfully open .pdf files, with Adobe Reader, which are on already on my hard drive.
    I am also able to successfully open .pdf files, with Adobe Reader, which are sent to me via email.
    Only the Safari website .pdf files are unopenable.

  • Trying to open PDF file in pages

    I've followed all the directions and tried several methods to get a PDF document from my pc to the iPad. From an email I should have the option to open the attached PDF with Pages, but I cannot do this. I touch the attached PDF file, and it just opens. I also tried connecting the iPad to the pc and manually transfer the PDF with iTunes. It seems to show the selected files in iTunes, but when I start Pages and try to open a file, the files I "transferred" are greyed out, and don't open.
    I'd appreciate any help with this.

    Copy the text below, including the initial /
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Switch to Finder, then use the Go menu - Go to Folder command & paste in the text, clicking Go afterwards.
    A Finder window should open, showing various plug-in files. Trash any that are for Adobe or PDF. You'll be asked for an admin name & password.
