How to save a Pages document so that it can be uploaded to Facebook as a graphic?

Hi,
I need to make event posters for my job and I use Pages as the layout program to do this. But when I try to upload a Pages poster design to our Facebook page it will not upload the file. I am using the "attach photo" option to try to upload the posters but have not been able to do it. To circumvent this problem I have had to print out the poster, then scan it as a jpeg and then upload it. A lot of trouble and wasted ink. Is there a way to upload pages documents to Facebook that I am unaware of?
I am using Pages '08.
Thank you for any help.

Other than a PDF, you can't save as an image directly from Pages, but you can do it with the software on your Mac. Export or Print your Pages document as a PDF & open that PDF in Preview. Use the selection tool to select the area you want. You can crop & save as .jpg, but I recommend going to the File menu in Preview & choosing New From Clipboard to make a new file. This is because some programs, Pages in particular, will always "see" the unselected area & paste the whole thing. I also suggest using .png rather than .jpg. .jpg is a "lossy" format, .png will be much clearer. TIFF is also clear but usually a large file.

How do I set pages up so that I can type a script for a radio play

here we go, that is if I'm not driven mad by the process of trying to work out how to use this help thing.
how do I set pages up so that I can type a script for a radio play ie the character then as an indented bit what they say

Here's a sample, using what should be a familiar script to any radio drama buff, and showing a few of the features you'll want to incorporate into your template.
Features noted by arrows:
This is the "First line indent" margin stop, in this case, set to produce a 'hanging indent'. This stop sets the starting position of the first line of a Paragraph.
Left margin stop: This stop sets the starting position of all lines in a paragraph except the first.
When setting margins, set this one first, as it will drag the First line indent stop with it when moved. After setting this one (by dragging it to the position on the ruler where you want it to be), drag the rectangle (First line stop) left as far as it will go.
Right margin stop.
Running Header: This is a combination of text that appears on every page, plus the page number / page count—very useful information when someone drops his script. (Typed here, but a combination of typing and inserting the two number calculators from the Insert menu in the actual template.)
Tab character. Used to move the first line of the dialogue into alignment with the rest of that paragraph. The Left margin stop also acts as a Tab stop.
Paragraph break (made by pressing the return key). After a Paragraph break, the next line of the script will start at the left margin of the page. To break a long monologue into smaller blocks, use a 'soft return', made by pressing Shift-return, as I've done twice here...
...to produce an empty line without creating a 'new paragraph' (or in this case, a new item on the current list.
Those are the basics for producing the body of your script.
Regards,
Barry

How to save a pages document on the ipad2

How do I save a pages document on the ipad2 or how do I print a pages document. I have a n epson835 on a wireless network. I can scan or print a web page from the ipad, but I cannot print from pages. The instruction seems to require saving the pages document, but all I can do is share the document via several methods.
Thank you
John McDonald

Tap on the Spanner icon, tap on Share and Print, Tap on Print.
You will also need to have an Air-Print enabled printer and both the printer and ipad must be connected to the same network. If your printer isn`t Air-Print enabled then there is a work-a-round but you will have to use google to obtain the files and instructions, do a search on google for Air-Print for PC or Air-Print for Mac.
To save a document in Pages for iPad just tap on Documents to take you back to your list of documents and the one you are currently working on will automatically save, you can then tap on the documents name to change it.

How to save a Pages document as a Word file

I downloaded the new version of Pages hoping for better Word compatibility. To be honest I can't see any difference in the compatibility.
Apple says on their page for Pages 5.0 that you can save Pages documents as Word files. "You can save Pages documents as Word files. Or import and edit Word documents right in Pages." Since they say "save" and not "export", I figured I could treat it like I would in Word. Do I still have to export the document or can I now just save it as a Word file without ending with duplicates?

You have to Export.

How do I change a document so that I can fill it out online, someone please help asap

Someone PLEASE help me. With my job, I have to complete online Marketing Analysis. How can I change the document so that I can fill it out online and email it back?

I believe you need a full version of Adobe Reader in order to fill out online PDFs. I don't think the built-in PDF viewer capabilities of Preview.app on the Mac allow you to fill out online PDFs. You can download a free copy of Adobe Reader from their website http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO

How to save a Pages document to upload to the web

I have created a document in Pages '08. It was designed for print (11" x 17") and 2 pages long. I saved it both as a pdf and as a png file but the file size is too large to put on our website (maximum 10 mb). How can I save this file with a reduced file size to upload to our web page?

I am looking in Pages '09, it is possible that is somewhere else in Pages '08 or was only introduced in Pages '09. Look through all of your Menus and in your Pages '08 User Guide.
If it is not there, follow through the other advice which is crop and reduce your images to 72 dpi resolution, preferably as .jpegs, or replace where possible with .pdf vectors both of which form smaller graphics files.
The best solution would be to reconstruct your document asa proper web page so the parts load individually or make a link to the larger .pdf file for people to download.

How can I save a page complete so that I can take our a print later on with its complete texts and pictures.I want that the copy of the page when printed should be exactly the same with all the details.

When save a web page and try to take out print the pictures in the web page are not coming in the print.I want to know how to save the webpage so that when I take its print it comes out in its entirety without loosing any details of the original webpage.

If you drop down the "Save as Type" list in the Save page dialog, you have the choices of HTML only (images not saved to your computer) and HTML complete (images are saved to your computer). Neither of these is perfect.
If you really need a record of what you see today, I suggest printing the page to PDF. There are a number of free print-to-PDF products, as well as paid ones. This isn't perfect either, because some sites look different in print than on screen, but it avoids the problem of sites changing or links breaking after your browsing session ends, etc.
If you have an example of a page that can't be printed as it appears on the screen, you could post a URL. For example, many blogs print in an "unstyled" format.

For John: my iMac accepted the flash drive when I plugged it in. However, when I try to save a pages document, there is no reference to saving to that drive.

Response to John: am new to using flash drive. It is the correct version and my computer recognizes it. However, when I try to save a pages document to that drive, there is no reference to it for saving. Only my hard drive seems to be available.

Hi. I suspect your flash drive is formatted with an NTFS file system (this is the default for Windows drives) and as such is read-only on a Mac. Try re-formatting on the either the Windows or Mac computer with a FAT32 file system. Be aware though that you will lose all data on your flash drive so back up first. Also maximum file size is limited to 2GB, is this a problem?

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.

Im using Pages on an IPad2. How do I save a document so that it can't be changed when I am done with it?

I am doing a document of song lyrics,in PAGE for my husband on his IPad2. How can I make the document a permanent one when I am done so he can't accidently change it.

You can also duplicate the document - make several duplicates if you want to- put them in a folder in Pages - and name the folder - Hands Off or something like that. Seriously though, copy the document a couple of times and put in a folder and tell him not to touch the folder. You will have easy access to the files if you need them again. You can also copy the file to your hard drive on your computer for safe keeping
I always make duplicates of a document so that I can revert back to an older versions if I need to do so.

Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is. I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

Use PDF when layout is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a brochure, a flyer, or a manual with multiple illustrations.

How do I save a pages document that a pc can open. eg jpeg, rtf pdf etc?

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.
