Is there any way to get Pages 4 back.

Pages 5.2 is so user unfriendly.  The first problem is just getting it to open a document.  I click to open and get a message that I need the latest version of Pages to access that document.  I already have the latest, so I go to the application itself, open that and then can open the document I need to work on.  Also, when I save a newsletter to pdf to e-mail to members, the print on the first half of the first page is shaded.  I've tried exporting to pdf, printing as pdf, and it's all the same.  It doesn't do that using other apps, e.g., Word, so I don't think it's an Adobe problem.  Any thoughts on either of these problems or how to get the older version back?  Also placing an image is very difficult.  It happens with sheer luck.

If Pages ’09 v4.3 was installed when you updated to Pages v5+, the installation process moved the older Pages application into /Applications/iWork '09 folder. Use that.
There are reported issues with PDF and Word document exports from Pages v5+ (including v5.2). Sounds like you found them.
The Pages v5+ document format, though it still bears the .pages extension, is entirely incompatible with prior Pages documents. As Pages v5+ lacks over 100 features/functionality of its v4.3 antecedent, older documents opened in Pages v5 may be selectively stripped of content if not supported in Pages v5+.
With both applications installed on your machine, a double-click on any .pages document (old or new) will summon Pages v5.2 to open it. You will need to right-click (two finger tap) to select Open With > Pages (4.3) from the contextual menu, or launch Pages ’09 and use the open file browser.
In Pages v5+, placing an image is easier if you have selected the Format > Arrange > Move with Text > Automatic. Text will automatically flow around your image. While you have this tab open, drag from the lower-right grip to the upper-left and you will observe a yellow proportional guide line. While you are changing the scale, also notice the Size and Position values change on the Arrange panel. You can change these directly if you prefer.
