I can't export any files from pages unless I create a duplicate file. I can't export to doc, docx or pdf! Heeeelp!

what version of pages?
what is the files type that you are trying to export?
what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format

Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
**You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

Can't export Word docs to network drive

I can't export Word documents to a network drive. I can save the document in .pages format, but if I try to export, the software goes through the motions, but the Word document is never created. If I "Save As" and check "Save Copy as Word Document," I receive an error message "The document ... could not be exported as ....doc." At least I get an error message, which is better than thinking a document exported when it didn't. I can't find any way to report this bug to Apple.

I'm not really surprised by this behaviour.
I think that good practice is to save / export on a 'normal' device then move the document from the 'normal' device to the network.

Can you export shipping docs (packing list and invoice) into a doc file?

Hello Gurus,
Is there a way to save ZRPL packing list and ZRIN ROSA Invoice into a file instead of printing?
For example going to VL03N > outbound delivery > issue delivery output > select ZRPL and instead of printing a hardcopy, can it be exported into a file? I need to do this operation to more than 100 packing lists and invoices. I want to upload it to a sharepoint and save some paper.
Thank You very much for your responses!

create another comment field that doesn't use 'appending', and through SP Designer change workflow keep
updating that field with the new comments (prepend the field with date/username/new comment). Hide the field on all forms, but put it in the view you need to export to Excel.
Please refer few more links: Hope they will help

How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to Word?

I just purchased Pages and tried to export a couple pages of my document to Microsoft Word so I could send them for review to a client who does not have Pages; however, when I copy-pasted into Word, none of the comments or tracked changes showed up in the doc., only the finished product. I've tried updating my software, but that hasn't worked. Is there a way to fix this?

Here is what the Pages User Guide says:
" Exporting Pages Documents to Other File Formats
If you want to share your Pages documents with those who aren’t using the latest version of Pages, you can export your document to file formats that they may be able to use on their computers or other devices:
• PDF: You can view PDF files in iBooks, and view or print them in Preview and Safari. You can edit them with a PDF application. Fonts used in the Pages document are preserved in the PDF file.
Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks.
• Microsoft Word: You can open and edit Microsoft Word files in Microsoft Word on a computer running Mac OS X or Windows.
Because of text layout differences between Microsoft Word and Pages, an exported Word document may contain a different number of pages than its Pages counterpart. You may notice other differences, as well, for example, table layouts and some special typographic features may not be identical. Some graphics (particularly those using transparency) may not display as well. Charts created in Pages appear as MS Graph objects, which you can edit in Microsoft Word.
• RTF: You can open and edit RTF files in many different word processors. RTF files retain most of the text formatting and graphics.
• Plain text: You can open and edit plain text files in many text editing applications, such as TextEdit. Exporting to plain text removes all document and text formatting, and images aren’t exported.Â ePub: You can open ePub files for reading in the iBooks application on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, or in any ePub file reader. After you export your document to ePub format, you must transfer it to your device to read it in iBooks. To learn more about optimizing a document for ePub format, exporting it, and transferring it to your device, see “Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks” on page 257.
If your Pages document is password-protected, the password-protection is removed from the new file that's created upon export. However, if you export to the PDF file format, you can apply a new password at the time of export. "

How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to PDF?

Hello,
I would like to know how I can export my pages document to a pdf that still keeps the comments I had made in the pages version. I am using the latest version of Pages by the way.
Thanks in advance...

Last week I printed a Pages '09 document to PDF and it carried over all the comments and marked up changes. This week I foolishly updated to Pages 5 and it won't do this anymore. If you need to print to PDF and get the comments in the document, you have to switch back to Pages '09, which I am doing tomorrow. Cannot believe they gutted Pages like this.

Can i see two docs in parallel in pages for ipad?

i need two translate a doc in pages. It would be nice to have on the same screen both text: one to read and the other to type the translated text
Is this possible?
Thanks!!

Hi Sandeep,
I hope that your question was already answered by Ashish. If not, then I would like to point out the following.
Offline Support is based on Content Type
Webi - Downloaded Webi documents can be viewed when offline. However, if you would like to do some operations like drill, filter etc. which requires interaction with mobile server, you can do them online and save personal view for that webi document and then it will be available offline.
Xcelsius Dashboards - Xcelsius dashboards are available offline. Crystal - Crystal documents can be downloaded as PDF for offline use. Explorer - Explorer personal views are available offline.
Other content types like Design Studio etc. are not available offline as on today.
Regards,
Ashutosh

Maintaining manual page breaks when exporting to .doc OR .rtf

Hi, all.
I've tried to find solutions to this on this board, but am coming up short. Please help!
I have inserted page breaks into my pages document. When I export to .doc or .rtf, the page breaks are gone (the separate pages now just run into each other). Any ideas?

MVes,
I tried to duplicate your reported behavior.
I found that a Pages file with Page Breaks _exported to .rtf_ opens in TextEdit with NO breaks, opens in Pages with NO page breaks and opens in Word with page breaks as designed.
I found that a Pages file with Page Breaks _exported to Word_ opens in Pages with Page Breaks as designed, opens in TextEdit with page breaks as designed and in Word with page breaks as designed.
So it appears that the only problem is with opening an RTF doc in Pages or TextEdit. There have been other reports here that indicate that Pages support of RTF is weak on import.

Open Word docs with the new Pages?

Pages does not open. I had the new one installed but apparently had the old one still up. How can I open Word docs with the new Pages?

Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Blank Icons on .doc files when make Pages default.

When i make pages default for .doc or .docx files (for exemple), they become blank icons. It's terrible. How to solve this??? I've tried a lot of options but always with no sucess. I selected the file .doc or .docx, click cmd+I and select Pages to open all documents on this kind........and then all files .doc or docx gains a black icon!!! I have repeated this same operation but forcing/change the icon of the file (with cmd+I and put a pages icon on the up letf side).......result: all files became blank icons...except that one! Anyone have a solution?

I understand Peter, but I work with a lot of files, and I'm very visually on it.
Separate kind of files by their aspect is very important for me.
I don´t need that .doc or .docx have pages icon....I just need an any icon, not a blank icon.
Because numbers do the same to .xls or .xlsx files.
Imagine a Folder with 2500 files (.doc .docx .xls .xlsx .dot.....etctetc) all blank icon files......files that I need to identify quickly.
So, I understand your point of view, but i really need to put icons on .doc ; docx files.....and note one by one.
Maybe an automator workflow??
Any soluction??
Thanks

I create a document in pages and then export it as doc or docx file. I then email or place the file in a drop box. When another computer opens the doc or docx the photos in the document are randomly scattered. What is the solution?

I create a document in pages with photos. I then save it and I also export it as a doc or docx file. I then email or place in a drop box the doc or docx file. The other computer opens the file in Microsoft word and the text remains in place but the photos are randomly scattered throughout the document. What is going wrong? How do I correct this problem? I really don't want to go back to a Microsoft machine.

That assumes two things:
1. That Apple would have let Microsoft have access to its file format.
2. That Microsoft would want to spend the time and trouble to write filters for file formats that Apple can't be bothered doing for its own software.

Lost the paste and move text function in Pages '09 also suddenly can't open .doc or .docx files

A few days ago I lost the ability to open .doc or .docx files in Pages '09 version 4.3.
Today I find that I can not paste or move text within Pages.
I updated everything yesterday and still no luck.
Help....

A Google search using the terms <document "could not be opened" iwork"> turns up two possible solutions:
Pages '09 refuses to create/open existing doc after Lion upgrade
Re: The document “navidad.numbers” could not be opened.
The first discussion's solution is to delete/reinstall/update iWork. The second is to edit the underlying code within the document and remove any Unicode characters.
I recommend you go with solution no. 1. Use Yvan Koenig's script to delete iWork completely (see below), then reinstall and update iWork before attempting to open a Word document. Then let us know how you went.
Go to https://public.me.com/koenigyvan
Choose For iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip
Download Uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button

Hi - I have just bought my first IPAD and I need to transfer from my MAC a 'recipe file' consisting of many, doc and docx files - I have also just bought Keynote to do this but I can't seem to transfer,, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Hi - I have just bought my first IPAD [3 rd gen, no wifi] and one of the things I want it to do is to accept transfered word files
preferably as folders from my MAC - I just bought Keynote but it doesn't seem to work. My files are all doc and docx so I think
perhaps looking into it more I should have bought Pages instead,, but I don't want to spend more money on another app if
possible. Does anyone have any suggestions?
