Hyperlinks in Pages doc. don't transfer to Mail

I made a simple one-page newsletter in Pages and transferred it to a PDF at which point the hyperlinks still worked, but once in Mail, they don't work. I tried doing it via File/Export and also Share/Export and Share/Send via Mail. Nada. Have most recent version of Adobe. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

As far as I know the PDf is an attachment in Mail. You have to open the document to use the hyperlinks.

All hyperlinks in pages doc lead to apple start page

All hyperlinks in my doc have defaulted to http://www.apple.com/startpage/ Anyone else have this problem, and is it curable?

Ignore Apple's Help instructions. They are wrong.
1) Create Bookmarks in the usual way: Select text, go to Link Inspector, click Bookmarks, click +
2)Select the hyperlink text, go to the Link Inspector, click Hyperlink, check enable..., SCROLL THE DROPDOWN MENU IN THE "Link To" BOX (it shows "Webpage") until you reach "Bookmark", Now the URL box below will show "Name", scroll down its dropdown menu until you reach your bookmark.
Done.

Share pages doc via email with chrome mail client

When choosing to share via email I see my mail client listed (chrome webmail) however when I select the format I want to email and select it nothing happens!
Any thoughts or solutions (using native mail app is not an option at work - need to use the chrome browser and email due to working practice).
Also sharing iCloud link via mail doesn't seem to work either!
I am using the latest Yosemite update, latest Pages 5 version.
Thanks in advance.

Pages v5.5 for Yosemitie saved its documents in one format type: package (folder). Unless these are purposely compressed into a .zip (single file solution), they are incompatible with non-Apple user mail agents. By default, Pages v5.5.1 will save in single file (Apple terminology) format which is this compressed zip format, but with the .pages file extension. Just like the default in Pages ’09. It is compatible with non-Apple mail and storage solutions.
I mention this because your issues may be related to using Pages v5.5, instead of Pages v5.5.1.
Pages v5.5.1 has a File > Advanced > Change File Type > Single File menu item that should allow you to convert (in place) Pages v5.5 documents originally written in the incompatible package format. It you choose the Package style on this submenu, it can be opened by Pages v5.2.2 on Mavericks — something that didn't work with Pages v5.5.

Just upgraded to OSX Maverick/Pages 5.0. Hyperlinking Pages docs together functionality seems to have been removed. Pls confirm. (You can still define text as a hyperlink to a web page or an email address but all links to other Pages docs were removed :(

Has anyone found a way of hyperlinking Pages 5.0 docs on Maverick? Made extensive use of hyperlinking many Pages docs together. On opening my Pages docs in Pages 5.0, get advisory dialogue box stating 'Spotlight data has been removed' and the doc opens fine, but the 'upgrade' file transformation has apparently removed a whole lot more. Will have to migrate all my data to another app if this is no longer possible. Painful. Time consuming. Hoping there is a solution/patch available shortly.

And there are those who don't like me repeating the same message over and over again in this forum!
Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

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.

Trouble emailing pages doc.

Anyone else having troubles emailing a pages doc? I tried Apple mail, gmail,and yahoo.

I bumped into this, too and did some more testing. It turns out that if you open a Terminal.app window and use the UNIX 'tar' command to create a "gzipped tar file" (i.e. .tgz), the Pages file will travel through gmail just fine. This suggests that gmail is opening zip files and inspecting the insides.
Recipients of a .tgz file can just double-click them to turn them back into the Pages document.

How to transfer files Pages docs in bulk from iPad to Mac

Since the lovely iCloud Drive came out and Yosemite, things have been woefully out of sync with my iPad. I've posted in a number of places on these boards and even, according to a rep I've been in touch with from Apple Support, an engineer is troubleshooting the problem. I have a LOT of Pages docs I've accumulated in iCloud on my iPad. I cannot access iCloud through a browser or on my desktop Mac. In other words, I can view and edit files from my iPad, but I canNOT do the same on my Mac. If I want to transfer files from my iPad the only way I can think of is
Open Pages
Tap the arrow up at the top
Tap send a copy
Tap ONE selected document
Tap what format to send it in (sadly, I'm using Word b/c I don't trust Pages anymore)
Tap selection of how to send (to ITunes)
Only then can I go to iTunes on my Mac and transfer the file. I have probably hundreds of docs I want and need and can't afford to have them floating semi-available in the cloud or lost forever.
A few other details:
- I cannot access Pages in iCloud through a browser (any browser, any machine, anywhere; I've tried every combination possible, when I log into iCloud and go to Pages, it cycles and then dumps me out to the login screen)
- I have a few third-party apps which let me look into my iPad and have slightly more functionality than iTunes permits, but none of them permit wholesale basic drag-and-drop a bunch of files and save to another drive. I know this is b/c the files are ostensibly in iCloud, but
- Here are other places I've posted about this problem
can't log in to iCloud.com
Pages under Yosemite not in sync with iCloud Drive and other issues
Thanks in advance.....

Though no one replied to this topic, I'm updating with what I've learned after spending many hours on the phone with an Apple tech rep who had esacalated to engineers. There is NO solution. Docs that are out of sync or unretrievable from iCloud or iCloud Drive, they cannot assist with. They offered to wipe my iCloud Drive account and reset it, but I wanted them to restore it afterwards. Just a simple, pull the data off, dump it on an FTP server so I can access it. Nope. No assistance. Not their problem. I have to manually pull ALL the files off my iPad's iCloud account, the ones I can get to and go through this insane 6 step process to get to those docs. Really disappointed with Apple. Using MS Word on the iPad and though not perfect...at least the Pages docs won't be lost.

Hyperlinks in Publisher Don't Transfer

I have to use MS Publisher 2010 to produce a newsletter. Hyperlinks defined in the text work fine in the PDF I create using Acrobaty PDFMaker (Acrobat X Pro). But hyperlinks defined for images do not transfer to the PDF. They transfer fine if I use the Microsoft "Publish as PDF" feature. This seems to be a problem with PDFMaker through several versions. Is there a way to fix this, or should I abandon Acrobat for this task? (Don't get me started about having to use Publisher. I know, I know).

Try saving the Document then drag the Document and Draging on top of the unopened Acrobat. If it works the same way it does for Microsoft documents on Mac after a few minutes of grinding away Acrobat should open the file as a PDF. If it works Save as PDF as soon as Acrobat open up with the PDF open.

How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

Select, and Copy in the Word doc and Paste in the Pages doc. It may not be perfect. Importing (Opening) the Word doc is probably better than using Copy/Paste for large amounts of content.

Can I undo iCloud Drive? I can't access my Pages docs on iMac since I upgraded to OS 8, unless I upgrade to OS X Yosemite. I don't need ICloud!

Can I undo iCloud Drive? I can't access my Pages docs on iMac 10.9.5 since recent upgrade, unless I also upgrade to OS X Yosemite. I don't need iCloud for docs.

Hi ..
Unfortunately, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place until Yosemite is released this fall. Hopefully sometime in October.

I am trying to get pages docs created on my iPhone onto my iMac

I am trying to get pages docs created on my iPhone onto my iMac. I have iTunes 10.5 and the help docs says that in iTunes the Pages app should automatically list the docs on my iPhone. I am using the 'send to iTunes' option in the 'share and print' menu but no files appear in iTunes (the iPhone is connected and recognised by iTunes). Any ideas? The docs don't mention that I need a particular version on Pages on my Mac.
Any help gratefully recevied.
Andrew

Dear Peter,
Thank you for the suggestion. I have looked at the discussion you highlighted. Unfortunately, it does not really deal with the issue I am experiencing. The discussion concerns problems with iCloud. I am not attempting to use iCloud to transfer files.
The discussion does mention using iTunes to first back up the files. However, the correspondent does not mention the problem I am experiencing. I understand from the help docs that when I after I have synced my iPhone, then the files I have created using Pages should be listed in the Apps part of iTunes. However, this does not seem to be so on my computer. The files do not appear even when I use the 'send to iTunes' option.
Is there something I am missing?
Any further help gratefully received,
Andrew

Syncing Pages doc with links

In Pages 5.2.2, I have a document with many hyperlinks. Works fine within the document, but I want to export so I can use the doc in Google Drive to sync with my iPad 2, or some other way to sync besides iCloud if possible. iCloud hasn't been working great for me under Mavericks and iOS 7, which is why I haven't bothered to get Pages for iOS yet.
When I export the Pages doc to a Word doc and then convert to Google docs file, the links appear but are not directly clickable.. the full URL appears on secondary click. And that is clickable. But those links in the same document viewed in iOS are not clickable at all.
Maybe once I get iOS 8 and Yosemite, iCloud Drive will be the answer, but meantime, any ideas for easily sharing this Pages document across devices? Would it be best to buy the Pages app for iOS at this point?

Thanks, I think it's free for newer devices, but I have an iPad 2 and in the App Store it says $9.99.

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
- Windows XP Pro, SP2
- Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
- RoboHelp X5, 5.0.2 Build 801
- HTML (.chm) help project files exist on my local machine
- HTML (.chm) help file is run from my local machine
- Project is under RoboSource version control
TEMPORARY INTERNET SETTINGS
- “Check for newer versions of stored pages” is
set to “Automatically”
- “Current location” for the Temporary Internet
files folder is set to “C:\Documents and Settings\My
Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\”
- “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
“594” MB
“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”
Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:
- “Microsoft Office Template and Media Control”
(Last Accessed 12/13/06) (Version 12,0,6024,0)
- “Shockwave ActiveX Control” (Last Accessed
12/14/06) (Version 10,1,4,20)
- “Shockwave Flash Object” (Last Accessed
12/18/06) (Version 9,0,28,0)
- “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool”
(Last Accessed 12/14/06) (Version 1,5,722,0)
- “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
(Version 5,8,0,2469)
Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

How do I save a Pages doc to my desktop folders?

Hi, I'm new to Mac and Pages and want to save a document to a folder on my desktop. But I don't have Save As as an option in File. I appear to be able to save only to iCloud or Documents essentially. Any suggestions?

When you are ready to save your Pages doc, hold down the option key while selecting the File menu. Now, Save As ... appears. Select it.
Initially, you will see iCloud on the selector. Click and hold, then choose Desktop from the drop down menu.
Now, click on the little down-arrow. This opens a file selection window on the Desktop, where you can scroll to the existing Folder, create a new one, and then save your file.

How do I sync Pages docs between my Macbook and a PC?

I want to sync Pages documents between my Macbook and a PC, for when I don't have the Macbook with me. I created a Pages file and saved it to iCloud, but it doesn't appear in the iCloud Pages web interface, even though other docs created in the web interface do.
Sorry to ask such a basic question, but I can't figure this out. If I'm working in Pages on my Mac and save the document, it's like it goes someplace different than when I create a Pages doc on the web interface...
Seriously confused, and not understanding how this works. Apologies for being such a beginner. This is really the only thing I want to use iCloud for.

Thanks, Rick. I have identified another part of the answer -- my husband and I both use this MacBook. We have separate IDs and iCloud accounts. But apparently only one account is allowed to store iWork files on iCloud. Apparently when his iPhone was set up, or maybe when he borrowed the MacBook for a business trip, or when he took some pictures with his new iPhone -- who knows how or when -- the storage capability got attached to his iCloud account on my computer. I started to sign him out, then was told that if that was done, the photostream would be deleted.
At this point the complexity is beyond ridiculous. We have 3 Mac devices, two computers and a phone, and I can't figure out the logic behind this limitation. I wish I had spent the hours that were invested in this effort in something more productive. I don't think iCloud is ready for primetime yet.

I've edited a Pages doc stored on iCloud on my iMac, and for the past hour or so it's been showing as updating on my iPad with the cogwheel going round. How do I stop it?

I've edited a Pages doc (which is stored on iCloud) on my iMac; when I checked on my iPad it just shows that the document is updating with the cog wheel going round and it's been like that now for well over an hour. While that is going on Pages on my iPad is frozen and I can't open the document. When I logged onto my iCloud account I found that the document is updated there. Can someone please explain what is going on with my iPad and how I can stop what seems a never ending process.

Hi tomtreb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!

iCloud: Troubleshooting Documents in the Cloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3991
Unable to update documents
Documents I've updated on my Mac or uploaded from iCloud.com don't appear on my iOS device
If you're using an iWork for iOS app (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote), check the iCloud system requirements and make sure that you're using the latest version of iWork. For third party apps, check the documentation that came with the app, or check with the app developer to make sure the app supports iCloud. App Store application descriptions often indicate whether the app supports iCloud.
Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences on your Mac. Click iCloud and confirm that you're signed in to iCloud and the Documents & Data checkbox is selected.
After opening your iOS app, wait a few minutes for the documents to appear. Your iOS device may not have connected to iCloud since changes were made to the document at iCloud.com or on your other devices.
Try creating a new document on your iOS device, then check again for the documents from iCloud to appear.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data and confirm that Use Cellular Data is turned on.
Confirm that you're connected to the Internet by checking for an Edge, 3G, 4G, LTE, or Wi-Fi icon in your device's status bar. Test your connection by opening apple.com in Safari.
Try resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.
Note: Preview and TextEdit documents uploaded to your iCloud Documents Library on your Mac will not be visible on iCloud.com or an iOS device, and iCloud iWork documents saved to iCloud cannot be viewed in Preview or TextEdit.
Cheers,
- Judy
