HT4356 How do you conver a Page document to PDF when there is no printer available

I purchased a $400 printer last year..now I cannot use it with my IPAD3 because it has to be an Air Print printer.
I need to convert my Page document to PDF and the only way to do that is to go to Print a document...but, when
I get there it tells me that I don't have a printer...Therefore, I cannot get to PDF conversion...
I thought Apple have an incredible group of smart software engineers ...what happened?
Now, I have to go and buy another $400 printer to be able to convert a document to PDF?
I bought this IPAD3 for my wife since she is not a computer expert but, so far I see that this is a product more compicated than a personal computer.
The hardware is great but, so far my wife has a hard time to use the Apps I got for this IPAD...I'm a software programmer working for a major computer company and I also have a hard time trying to get these functions to work...

Under "Share and Print", tap "Email Document", then choose PDF. Alternately, tap "Sent to iTunes", "Copy to iDisk", or "Copy to WebDAV" and then choose PDF...

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Often the reason Share > via e-mail doesn't work is an "illegal" character in the file name. The most common problem character is a / but any character not allowed in Windows can be a problem.

How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

You will need to keep them in folder on your hard drive somewhere other than in iTunes or they will be deleted from iTunes if you delete them from the device. I have a folder on my Mac called iPad Pages Documents - very original don't you think!
Here is the support article that explains it all.

How do you reorder the pages in a PDF ie back to front (not individually via Page view)

Sorry if this is in the wrong place or if this has been answered elsewhere but I couldn't seem to search "the database"
How do you reorder the pages in a PDF ie back to front (not individually via Page view). The manual solution of course is to scan or import them in the correct order in the first place. However, this did not happen, and we have many PDF's which are 100% in the wrong order. So we would like to press a button and have them in the right order.
Many thanks in advance for your help...

Got it to work. It returned a completely different path of course just to make life interesting and required a FN+OPTION ENTER in order to return the path. I now have the FLATTEN option in the edit menu.
Just trying it checking all the Flatten options except the fields seemed to work on the first pass. I'm going to try and load a copy of the original complete document. I assume that is the proper way to use this at this point since I created the form ***-backwards?
I've used Adobe layout programs since the Aldus days but Acrobat seems to work differently than any other program I've used.
If I understand what you're saying I should:
1. Design the layout of the form leaving spaces for the fields
2. Open Acrobat, import the document
3. Auto-add and correct, or manually add the fields
4. Fix tabbing
5. Add any additional comments or annotations
6. Flatten everything but the fields? (If the fields are flattened I can't fill out the form unless it's supposed to be a printed form only, right?)
Might just have to break down and RTFM. Acrobat is a really different animal.

How do you get the page count on an old hp 1012 laserjet printer?

You should find this information on the configuration page. To print a configuration page, press and hold the green GO button until all of the lights cycle, approximately five seconds, then release the button. The Configuration Page will print.
You can find more information in this document: Identifying Page Count.

How can you save a pages document so it can be opened in Microsoft Word

How can I save a pages document so it can be opened in a Windows (Word) program?

Word can't read .pages documents. You have to export the Pages document to a Word document. File > export or share > Word
Download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu to learn more about how Pages works.

How can I convert a Pages document into PDF or RTF?

I have been asked to send a Pages document to PC users in RTF or PDF format. How can I get my Pages document to convert into other formats for PC people?
Is that what the export feature is supposed to do? I just don't know how to sent my document via e-mail to non-Apple conputers!

You didn’t indicate whether you are using Pages ’09 v4.+ or the latest Pages v5(.2) release. To send an email with either Word or PDF attachment from within Pages:
Pages ’09 v4+
Pages menubar > Share (category Send via Mail) > (select Word (.doc) or PDF). Mail will launch into a compose window with the document already attached.
Pages v5+
Pages toolbar > Share > Send a Copy > Email > (select Word (.doc/x) or PDF - best). Mail will behave as above.
Note: Either version of Pages is not an MS Word clone and it must translate content into the Microsoft document architecture. If you must have maximum Word document accuracy, you will need Office for Mac 2011, and the associated MS Word application that produces native .docx format.
Backup your work.

I am writing a book to be published. how to i get my pages documents to PDF or JPG or something else that is at least 224 pixels per inch?

i am writing a book to be published. how do i get my "pages document" to a high definition level...at least 224 pixels per inch? i can get to 150 ppi via preview to JPG, but that seems to be the best i can do with my new snow leopard imac.

Hello Barbara,
> i have text written in Pages and these need to be at least 224 ppi.
i also have photo collages that were created in Pages and also need to be at least 224 ppi.
the book has about 60 pages of photo collages and about 30 pages of text.
If you want to print using a digital press or an offset lithographic press at high resolution, then you typography is resolution independent but your photography is not. In other words, you must embed into your Pages document the images in the resolution that is right for rendering in the high resolution raster image processor.
Raster image processors will as a rule of thumb produce good quality detail if you embed photographs with 300 dot per inch resolution. Because raster image processors differ in how they reproduce detail, and because this information is generally not public a rule of thumb principle is applied in preparing the page description for printing.
By default, if you use colour transparency in your work, the system graphics service will detect this and save out PDF 1.4 automatically. However, not all raster image processors have PDF frontends that accept PDF 1.4. For this reason, there is a fallback which you must set up yourself.
If the receiving raster image processor does not have a PDF frontend that accepts PDF 1.4, you have to manually enter the resolution at which the transparency will be rendered. The system graphics service will then render the resolution for you and save out what it technically termed a 'flattended PDF'.
Alternatively, if you don't want to work with the Apple ColorSync Utility yourself, you can send your PDF 1.4 with resolution independent transparency to a prepress operator who will then use specialised software to render the resolution for the specifics of the service he or she is selling you.
If you want to work with the prepress interface in system graphics services, then below is a link to summary on setting up the ColorSync Utility for ISO 15930-3:2002 PDF/X-3. This passes prepress preflight testing in Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0.1 (the first version that tested for PDF/X-3).

How do you unlock a pages document? nothing I see on the forums duplicates my situation.

how do you unlock a document in pages that doesn't say "locked" at the top of the page???

Thanks for answering me! You might not be reading my question correctly because I think I am confused. So now I have a couple questions. I have never used the the Document Inspector to lock a file so that is not the issue. It has not asked for a password either.
When you said a document will be locked after a period of time I have experienced that but usually it drops a box down asking if you want to unlock it. When you said, "as determined by my System Preferences" I dont' see anything in system preferences about documents.....what am I missing here?? I am using Lion 10.7.4. So I would like to know the answer to that. I am wondering if you meant it can be set to lock or not lock???
That said.....in the meantime I had done a duplicate and then made it a template just to see if I could accomplish what I was trying to do and that didn't work either. SOooooooo let me ask you this.....what I did was take a bunch of clip art off the internet and put it all on one document page in Pages. I named it "tropical clip art." When I open that document I can not drag and drop any of the clip art anywhere. Not to my desktop, not to another document etc. That is what made me think it was locked. The document name is at the top and it has "edit" greyed out next to the name. What the heck am I doing wrong? I am fairly new to Pages altho been an Apple user for awhile. I have always fuddled my way through using Pages. If I can not put the clip art on a document to save it all in one place, what is my other option? I was trying to avoid going back onto the internet repeatedly to get clip art I want to use over and over. It is free clip art. If I go to the internet I can drag and drop it anywhere.
When I try to drag and drop it off the Pages document it disappears and I have to go to "undo typing" under edit to get it back. Am I making any sense??
And this is my very first time on these forums too so that took me a bit to figure out.
Thanks so much!!!!!

How do I convert a Pages document to pdf on the iPad?

Does anyone know if there is an app that allows you to do this? I have to create a document in pages, create a pdf of the document, then email it to several addresses. Seems like there ought to be a way to accomplish this on the iPad, and not go to my laptop.

When you click on the Share icon in the top right corner of Pages, it will ask you how you want to share...
Share Link via iCloud
Send a Copy
Open in Another App
You said you wanted to e-mail it, so select Send a Copy. Select Mail. Now it will ask you for a file format, so select PDF.
That's it. Just type in the names of the e-mail recipients and you're good to go.
If you want to send the document as a non-CC type e-mail message, and BCC won't work because you need to have a custom body in the e-mail, then you can download most any PDF app. iBooks is an Apple based one and it's free. Instead of selecting Send a Copy, select Open in Another App. Now select your format as PDF. Select Choose App. Tap on iBooks or whatever. Now you can send the PDF from iBooks instead.

How do you email 1 page from a pdf in iBooks?

I have multi-page plans in iBooks and want to send only 1 page to a subcontractor and not the entire set of plans. How do you only e-mail one page of a multi-page PDF in iBooks?
Thanks,
Victor

You could try copy/paste.
But you would probably have more luck switching to an app really designed for working with pdf files rather than ebooks, like GoodReader.

How do you make a Pages document default view larger?

I can't figure out how to make my Pages 5.1 default view larger than 125%. I would like to change it to 150% as a default for all documents. Is there a setting somewhere?

Although there is a setting for default page zoom in the Pages v5.1 plist file, setting this manually to any custom value, whether directly in the plist file, or via the Terminal, does not stick in subsequent Pages usage. This could be set and was retained in Pages ’09 v4.3, which you may still have installed in /Applications/iWork ’09.
Other than the last sentence as an alternative, your only current recourse is to set zoom manually from the toolbar.
