Is document compare supported in Pages?

I have been using Pages in lieu of Word for some time now but I need to compare two documents. Is there a function in Pages that does this? It is very simple in Word but if it's not in Pages, then this is definitely a let-down.
Thanks.

Rick,
I'm not defending Pages, just a user like yourself. The iWork apps have significantly fewer features than the Office apps. I've come to realize that is what I like about it, though. I've seen this question here many times, but I've never had a sense that I would have a use for it. If I had an inkling that I would want to be able to identify changes later, I'd turn on Tracking.
You can always register your wish list with Apple via the Pages > Feedback option.
Good luck,
Jerry

Can you do document compare in pages, can you do document compare in pages

In that "other" word processing program, you can do a document compare to see how the documents differ. I have not found how to do that in Pages. Is it possible?

No, it's not funny !
It's really boring to see titles with questions repeated two, three or even four times.
Is it so difficult to take care of what you type ?

Document compare in Acrobat 9 a backwards step?

It looks like Adobe in their infinite wisdom have dumbed-down the document compare in Acrobat 9.
In Acrobat 8 and before it used to be possible to do a quick-and-easy text comparison to highlight differences between documents. Now there are 3 (undefined) ways of comparing documents, none of which are suitable for comparing two mostly textual documents. The 250 page limit is madness too - many of our documents are 1000+ pages which Acrobat 8 used to handle perfectly well.
Is there any way of getting the old (Acrobat 8) document compare functionality back?

I'm afraid I don't have help for you, David, but I fully support your subject line!
When I used Acrobat 8, I was able to do fairly quick and really effective document comparisons, in which Acrobat 8 focused on what I asked it to focus on (especially text). With Acrobat 9, I no longer have this control, and the comparison quality is horrendous. Acrobat 9 arbitrarily treats some text as images, fails to see blatantly-obvious differences, reports no differences in blatantly-obvious changed text content, and also reports some "ghost changes" (such as multiple "matching graphic not found" messages around words in blocks of text where no graphics ever existed).
I'm disappointed as well.

Auto adjustment of page orientation causes printing issues with documents that have a page width greater than its page height.

Hi,
Since an upgrade from Word 2003 to Word 2010, we are experiencing printing issues with certain
documents that have a page width greater than its page height.
In Word 2003, it was no problem to set the page width greater than the page height while setting the page orientation to "portrait".
In Word 2010, this seems impossible: despite leaving the page orientation to "portrait", if one changes the page width/height as stated,
Word 2010 automatically adjusts the orientation to "landscape". Resetting the orientation to "portrait" will flip the page's width/heigth settings.
This behaviour causes printing problems: the page prints out 90° rotated.
I do not believe this is a printer driver issue: I tried several different printer drivers, and all give the same (bad) result. Setting the printer driver's page orientation settings (before printing) makes no difference, as
Word 2010 seems to force the page orientation settings.
Inserting the documents 90° rotated is not an option, since it causes problems with the printing margins.
This is very annoying, since we have to print official documents of a municipality (driver's licences).
Is there a workaround for this issue?

Document Compare Function in Acrobat Professional 9

Document Compare function
I use the 'compare' function to compare documents versions etc for changes. It looks like only 250 pages is the maximum number of pages that can compared during each operation.
I am using documents that are 900+ pages and I keep the error message/screenshot attached.
Is this a limitation with Acrobat Professional 9?

Yes, it would appear to be a limitation that Adobe have put in. I'm in a similar situatiion where I have documents up to 2500 pages long that must be compared so while it takes longer I do the compare in batches of 250 pages at a time. It could be as a result of resource usage. I'm finding that when I do a compare, the fisrt one is generally ok but after that Acrobat slows down considerably - it may just be my computer (XP Pro 1.5 GB RAM and 2.8 GHz) but I'd like to know does Acrobat empty the cache or is the cache filling up after each compare and hogging resources?
It's a great function but I wish it would work the way I expect it to.
Cheers

Hi,
Based on my understanding, your issue is you cannot create folder in Windows 7, right?
Did you fix it?
This issue might be caused by corrupted system file.

Why is "Document Compare" so horrendously slow in Acrobat X?

In Acrobat 8, it used to be possible to compare the text of two large (900+ pages) documents in a few minutes. I just installed Acrobat X, and now these comparisons take much longer. Is there any quick way to compare two large documents and see which pages have changed?
The new behavior is definitely not an improvement.

I also just installed Acrobat X. I get the below:
"Acrobat could not compare the documents completely. Do you want to see the report anyway?"
This I believe is because PDFs larger than 250pages.
The comparison does not find any change.
The new behaviour is definitely not an improvement.
An upgrade which removes functionality.

I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept pdf documents not created in pages...

I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept some pdf documents not created in Pages (Its says Document format not supported).
How do I get docs (pdf/jpg etc.), that are saved under "Documents" on my Mac Mini (Not in Pages), onto iCloud???
I want to transfer (None Pages) documents from the Mac Mini to my iPad 3 (Which has Pages for iPad 3).
Thanks in advance for ANY Feedback!

You can download PDF files from iWork's page to a mac, but you can't upload from mac. Also, you can't use iCloud like MobileMe's iDisk. Most document formats on your mini can't be copied to iCloud. Use Dropboc instead.

How can I recover the documents I had in Pages, Numbers and Keynote?

I have an iPad that couldn't be updated because my laptop was an old one. Recently, I bought a new laptop and tried to updated my iPad plugging to the laptop. The problem was that the documents I had in Pages, Numbers and Keynote as well as the PDF files in iBooks have disappeared. I just checked the size of those apps and compared it to the one that Finder says those have on my computer and it looks as if the files were there. I have tried to access them but the type of file is .ipa and I have no idea on how to open them. Is it possible to recover those files? If so, how can I do it?

I had to restore my iPad earlier tonight. Some of my apps, docs...including numbers and keynote did not transfer to my iPad. I thought of how I transfer music to my iPhone (double tap and slide to device) and low and b, you can transfer apps the same way. However, I lost a lot of data in both numbers and keynote...I too would like to know how I can restore my files. If not, work, time and energy down the drain!

Microsoft Office Pro plus 2013 installation wizard pops up everytime I open a Word document or a new page.

Microsoft Office Pro plus 2013 installation wizard pops up everytime I open a Word document or a new page. I realize that other people have the same problem. However no answer has been found to stop this problem. I wonder if there is a
way. Hope someone is able to tell me and the others.

Hi,
By the installation wizard, do you mean the First Run screen? If yes, please follow the steps below to disable it:
STEP ONE: If you have not already, download the Office 2013 Administrative Template files. These can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35554
STEP TWO: Copy the ADMX files to %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions and the ADML files to the language specific folder (such as en-us) under %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions.
STEP THREE: Using the Group Policy Management Editor go to User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Microsoft Office 2013 | First Run |
STEP FOUR: Set the Disable First Run Movie to Enabled and the Disable Office First Run on application boot to Enabled
Please check the result then.

Apple Support KB pages open to a white window in Safari, Yosemite

Cannot view Apple Support KB pages in Safari 8.0 under Yosemite. The URL loads, but displays only a blank white page. Same URL displays fine in Firefox.

I see that, too. I have not seen that before. Not sure why that occurs as it does not occur on all KB articles. I will report it as should you - Bug Reporting - Apple Developer.

Working on existing document; two forms of page numbers (starts as i,ii,iii and moves to 2,3,4)

I inherited a facing-pages document with two master pages. They are supposed to have page numbers in them (1,2,3,4 etc) but the first few pages of the document are i,ii,iii etc. and I can't figure out how to change them. Can anyone help?

That's pretty standard formatting for a document divided into sections withthe first section containing front matter and the "real" page 1 appearing further into the file. What's the first page number after the i, ii,iii ... series?
Number style is changed by slecting the first page of a section (it will have a small triangle above it) in the Pages panel and going to the Numbering And Section Options where you will find a drop-down for number style. It's a bad idea to have multiple pages with the same logical page number using the same number style, and ID will complain.

Billing - iTunes doesn't try and take the money from my a/c. It takes me to the generic support home page instead.

I had a problem with my bank account going overdrawn a few weeks ago (caused by a 3rd party taking money from my a/c and putting it overdrawn). An amount of $1.06 is showing as owed on my iTunes billing. There is money in my bank account now. When I try to download an update or a free app I get redirected to update my billing info. My debit card is the same number as before, the only difference is there is money in the acccout now. For some reason when I update my billing info using the same card number instead of Apple trying to take the $1.06 out of my account it directs me to the iTunes support home page which shows all the differnt countries flags.
From what I can see there are no answers to my specific problem in the forums and as far as I know Apple doesn't offer a human being to talk with to get it sorted.
Does anybody have any ideas how I could resolve this? I'm very frustrated with it that's for sure.

If you mean that you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
But as far as I know debit cards are no longer accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
