How to send a Pages document to others? The file is too big for emails.

I want to work the same Pages document with a team. What are the options to be able to send to them to edit back and forth? It's over 25MB and emails don't support large files.

Personally, if this were my team, I would standardize on Office for Mac 2011 update 14.4.7 (latest) and then everyone would be on the same page, without any of the Pages v5 feature deficit, document incompatibility, and productivity drop trying to make simple things work. The Word documents would be substantially smaller, and have better support for team edits.
Regarding Pages…
Is the entire team on Yosemite, and will be signed into iCloud? If so, you can use Yosemite Mail's new Mail Drop feature which can support up to 5GB files. Read about Mail Drop in this article.
The next challenge is one of file compatibility among Pages users. If you use the default file format (Single File) written by Pages v5.5.1 on Yosemite, it cannot be opened by Pages v5.2.2 or earlier on Mavericks. You must instead, change that File type to Package and save it again. Pages v5.5.1 has File > Advanced > Change File Type, and a choice of Single File (default), or Package. Pages v5 documents originated on Mavericks can be opened in Pages v5.5.1.
If a member of the team is using Pages '09 v4.3, then any work performed in Pages v5 must be first exported to Pages '09 format. Any functionality used in Pages '09 v4.3 that is not supported in Pages v5 will be filtered out when opened in Pages v5.

    You can install MAMPon you mac (free web server, no configuration needed).
    Put ePub file in Applications/MAMP/htdocs and you can download locally (quicker than Dropbox, Mega, etc...)
    On your iPad's nevigator type:
    http://mac_local-lan_IP:8888/NameOfYourBook.epub
    You can see local IP on: System Preferences/Lan or System Preferences/Sharing
    iPad and Mac must be in the same lan/wifi network.
    Best regards.

  • The offset in the file is too big"? Other than, hey it's FAT formatted, etcetera!

    Does anyone have an answer for "The offset in the file is too big" error while creating a file using QT API "writeToFile"?
    I mean something other it's FAT formatted, not enough space, et cetera. Anyone?

    First how much free space do you have on your boot drive.  For normal use it's recommended to have a minimum of 10 GB free space.  If you use iDVD up that to 20-25 GB.  Lots of cache and swap space is needed.
    Create the slideshow in iPhoto, set the disiplay size ratio to 4:3 and export it out of iPhoto at the medium or large size. 
    Open a new project in iDVD and add the QT file to the iDVD menu being careful to avoid any dropzones.
    With a 90 minute slideshow you can use a single layer DVD disk. iDVD doesn't care about the file size of the media added to a project, only the playing time of the project, including menus.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    You shouldn't try to create the slideshow in iDVD with still photos if the number of still photos is larger than 99.  That creates a pause or stall when playing back on many set top players.

  • 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 upload a document to facebook? It's too big as it is so can i make it smaller?

    How do i make a text document small enough to upload to facebook? (It's only one and a bit a4 pages)

    You can't upload the PDF but you can link to a PDF. This blog post on How to upload a PDF file to Facebook explains an easy way to do this using either Acrobat or the free Reader.

  • The print is too big for the page, some of the article is cut off . Why?

    The printer was working fine. Suddenly that changed. Now when I print, the print is huge and a large part of the text is cut off. I tried reducing the size of the font but that did not help. This had happened to me before about a year ago and I tried different things with firefox and was finally able to fix it. However, this time I have tried all your troubleshooting tips and nothing works. The print function was working normally up to a couple of days ago and to the best of our knowledge neither my husband and I have made any changes to the settings.

    Firefox > Print -> Print Preview = what is the '''Scale''' set for?
    '''Shrink to Fit''' is usually the best setting for most web pages.

  • Why is it that the wallpapers are too big for the screen? I liked how in iOS 6 that you could make it whatever size you wanted. Please Please Please bring that back and you will have one happy customer!!!

    Is there is a reason why pictures in iOS 7 don't work well with setting your backgrounds??
    This needs to be changed back to iOS 6 style for setting backgrounds, otherwise everything else is good.

    "Why" - because Apple designed it that way, probably to allow for the motion-parallax effect in the iOS 7 home screen.  It has been this way since iOS 7 was released 6 months ago.  Why are you first noticing it now?

  • I would like to send a Pages document to a client who can then manipulate and change the file.  How can I do that with OSX 10.6.8?

    Can I send a Pages document to a client who can then manipulate or change them on their end?

    You can export the Pages document to Word or text instead of Pages but I advise you to first save the document in the native Pages format. Still best is if you reciever get the applicationif you are going to do a lot of editing on documents.
    About setting the computer etc. I don't know what the person was thinking off.

    Turn off rich text in your email signature. Delete images too, if any.

  • Sending a Pages document as an email but not an email attachmentt

    using iwork '08 and a pages newsletter template, is there a way to send a pages document as an email without making it an attachment? for business a newsletter is better for clients if it arrives in the email as the body of the email instead as in the form of an attachment. how is that possible with Pages?

    Hi J,
    Copy the contents of the Pages document and Paste into the body of the email. Try this and see if the formatting remains satisfactory.

    Ian.

  • 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

  • I cannot send a Pages document, Word format via email from my ipad if it has a picture in the the doc.  I can send a Word doc if it does not have a pic in it or pdf with a pic.  Any thoughs why a word doc with a pic in it won't email in Pages?  thanks

    I cannot send a Pages document, Word via email if the doc contains a picture.  If I email a Pages doc without a pic in Word format or pdf with a pic it with go through to sender?  Not sure why Pages won't send Word doc with a picture in it.  I check the security on the email recipient and the email doesn't get blocked or throw in the junk box?
    thanks,

    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, Save As… has returned to the File menu when you hold down the Option/alt key. But you don't really "save" as other file types, you translate & export as Word or RTF or text or PDF & that is easily done by going to File > Export or Share > Export.
    Also, please do us all a favor & don't use all capitals in your posts, either the body of the post or the title. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting & is very hard to read.

  • 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 .
