HT4647 Saving docs from Pages to DropBox

Hi,
Need advice.  DropBox allowed me to import a doc to Pages on iPad (actually offered the option), but I see no way to save it back to DropBox.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Help appreciated.

Maybe this is late, and you already solved your problem.
I am a student as well, and the app I use every single day is iAnnotate (the best spent $10 ever - if my ipad could manage only 1 app, this one would be enough for me to say that the ipad was worth $500). The blackboard version we use in school does not allow me to download stuff directly in my iPad (even though I can see them), so I use my laptop to download anything and everything and save it on my Dropbox account. iAnnotate gets everything from dropbox. Slides and textbooks I save them in PDF format. (If you want a good torrent site to download books write me back.)
All my pages documents actually sync via iCloud, and I do my typing from the ipad (with a Zagg Flex bluetooth keyboard) or from my laptop at home.
Does it suck that pages can not save directly to dropbox? No doubt about it, but getting so upset about to the fact that the ipad is not a good companion is because you haven't mastered the tools.
If you really want to use your dropbox account for word documents, then quickoffice pro HD is definitely what you need (office suit that syncs with dropbox and other for $15).
I have the 3 apps, but I chose to go the "hard way" and use pages because when I change applications the formatting slightly changes, and don't feel like fixing it all the time. I don't have office in my mac, but I would guess that the formatting between office and quickoffice will work, but don't really know.
But trust me on iAnnotate.

  • How do I save doc from pages on ipad to Dropbox

    How can I save a doc from pages to Dropbox.

    You can manually add the files to your iTunes library...on Apple's support pages:
    "To add PDFs to your iTunes library on your computer, drag and drop the PDF into your iTunes Book library. If you're using OS X Mavericks or later, drag and drop your PDFs into your iBooks library using iBooks for Mac."

  • I saved docs from a iMac to a flashdrive but when I plug the flashdrive into an iBookG4 and try to open the docs on the flashdrive, I get this message: Doc 2 cannot be opened. The required index.xml file is missing.

    I saved docs from a iMac to a flashdrive but when I plug the flashdrive into an iBookG4 and try to open the docs on the flashdrive, I get this message: Doc 2 cannot be opened. The required index.xml file is missing. Does this mean that I can't use the info on the flashdrive with the iBookG4 or can I do something to get the required index.xml file?
    Thanks

    It appears if you write the document with newer version Pages and try to open it older version Pages.

  • Troubles with Pages-impossible to send a pdf doc from pages

    Hi, I am having troubles in sending a pdf doc from pages to a pc (via email). It work fine with word doc but not pdf. When I open the email with the pdf doc I just received, the email is empty. What could I do? Please help, I really need pdf! Thanks.

    Hi Jerry,
    I don't think so, because I can send a word doc but not a pdf?! And my gmail account has plenty of space...  And it worked fine before I upated the new version of Ipad.  I hope I can find a solution, otherwise I can't use Pages anymore. Any other apps equivalent to Pages?
    Thanks anyway.

  • My printer will only print the first page of a doc from "Pages" in good quality.

    I've tried reloading drivers etc. Nothing works. My printer prints everything just fine EXCEPT for when I try to print a doc from the PAGES app. Then it only prints the first page (technically the last one prints first) and then all subsequnt pages are very poor quality.
    Lexmark tech support says the problem is not with their drivers.
    Any thoughts as to what the problem might be ??
    THANKS for any help !

    Then use the latest solution!
    Which doesn't need specifying either.

  • What causes  carriage returns to become page turns in Epu  docs from Pages?

    I converted a long document from pages to Epub. Towards the end a section adds a new page at each carriage return. I tried everything. still can't fix it.

    I think that both your pages have a missing </div> at the end somewhere.
    Opps... that happened when I was stripping down the page to create a working example of my issue. I've fixed the missing div and re-uploaded both pages. The problem is still there.
    Change display: inline; to float: left; and add margin: 0 0 4px 4px; (as shown below)
    I had already tried using float, but something else in the code was forcing the columns to 2 instead of 3.
    Have you used "Apply Source Formatting" ?
    I use that religiously. I'm quite anal about visually clean code.
    Well, I just fixed the problem while replying... funny... I removed the margins from the actual img element (.imageThumb img) and placed it on the div which surrounds the img (.imageThumb). I also reapplied the float. Thanks all for the help - it helped me rethink. But I could have sworn I had once placed the margins on .imageThumb before and it didn't work.
    .imageThumb {
        width: 100px;
        height: 75px;
        display: inline;
        float: left;   
        margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
        cursor: pointer;
    .imageThumb img {
        /*margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;*/

  • Saving documents from Pages for Mac

    I bought Pages for my Mac. I want to save my documents to iCloud. I do not have an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. So no iOS app. I have Lion. I read this:
    Use your computer’s browser to visit the iCloud website at icloud.com/iwork, and then sign in using your Apple ID.
    Click iWork, and then click Pages.
    Click the Action menu (looks like a gear) at the top-right of the browser window, and then choose Upload Document from the menu.
    Locate and select the document you want to copy to iCloud, and then click Choose.A copy of the document is saved to iCloud. If you edit the original document on your Mac, the edits aren’t reflected in the copy that’s stored in iCloud until you save the edited version to iCloud again.
    There's only one problem with that: step 3. When I select iWork, then click Pages, I just get a page that says "learn more" and "get pages". There is no Action menu. Only the cloud for the home page. No little gear. So. . . .why not? And how do I do this then?

    To be able to access the iWork pages at iCloud.com, you need the iWork apps for iOS installed on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Or you need to be using the latest versions of iWork for Mac on OS X 10.8.2
    So, you'll need to update to Mountain Lion.

  • App Store says I've installed pages 5.0.1 but I get 4.3 when I open it up.  Docs from pages 5.0 won't open

    I can open my old documents but new ones made on pages 5 won't open.  I checked the app store and it says I've installed 5.  Any idea why I'm having a problem???

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • I do not know how to find docs from Pages in the PC.

  • Recovering un-saved files from Pages 09.

    I have been doing a project on Pages 09 on my MacBook Pro and suddenly Pages 09 closed on me without warning and then another window opened asking me if i would like to re-open. So i re-opened Pages 09 and all my work had gone as i didn't save my work. So i to restart my computer to see if there were any recovered files in my trash can and there were, there was a file named "tempdata" inside my recovered files folder but for some reason i am not able to open it as a new window then opens up saying, Unable to unarchive "tempdata into "com.apple.iWorkpages_222_3158381251" (error1 - operation not permitted. So could someone please help as to how to open that recovered file or if there is another way to recover my work?
    Thanks.

    Of course you will loose some work but not all if you do save. It is a matter of how much you will loose.
    Maybe Pages crashed because the OP didn't save. We don't know do we. Or the RAM or is it DRAM nowadays couldn't hold more information and gave up.

  • Hi , from Pages,Numbers and keynotes everything deaseper AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!i loose. Every docs ;(((((((((?????

    Hi , if any loose all is docs from pages, numbers and keynotes??????

    If you own the Magic Mouse, I guess that it's a problem with gestures settings.
    Thirdly why does Safari always open at the last website ooked at and not at the selected pref Google as the Homepage?
    If you are asking about the app opening when you start the machine, you are describing the behavior of the system's feature named Resume.
    It's designed to reset the apps in the state in which we quitted them.
    On my machine I apply brute force.
    I switch off thru a script which delete the Saved Applications State files then issue a Quit command.

  • Trouble with format of files exported from pages as .doc - when opened on a pc they have extra spaces and pages breaks inserted after each line?  Can be manually deleted, but defeats sharing purpose. advice?

    Hi all, I have trouble with the format of files exported by email as .doc from pages - when opened in MS word on a PC or other device, they have extra spaces and pages inserted after each line - can be deleted manually, but defeats sharing purpose.  Any advice?  Not the most sophisticated user.

    Got it. I tried booting with MOD_AUTOLOAD set to yes, and it was working fine. Looks like I needed to specify some more modules in my list.
