Issue opening openxml documents in iPad

I use openxml and convert my dotx files to docx files with some contents in .Net. After conversion when i send the docx document through mail, iPad mail app shows the following error while opening the document. And in iPhone the contents are misplaced. Can someone pls provide me a better solution asap?? I tried opening the document using third party apps too but nothing worked out.

This is not a way to open the actual documents side by side, but it is a possible solution to the situation of needing to match the layout of Document 1 to the layout of Document 2.
1. Create an image file of Document 1. (Open Document 1 and take a screenshot.)
2. Open Document 2.
3. Under Tools/Document Setup, click +, then add image from camera roll of Document 1.
4. Adjust image size to match document size. (Select image, then click and drag nodes to edge of document.)
5. With image selected, click (paintbrush icon) Format/Style/Style Options/Opacity. Adjust Opacity down to around 30 percent (you can adjust to personal preference later after you see how it works for you.)
6. Click Arrange (still under Format) and send image to the back, then Lock.
7. Click Done.
8. Now you can match sizes/fonts/style of background Document 1 while working in Document 2.
9. When you are done, go back to document layout and unlock, then delete image of Document 1.
I agree we still need the side by side view for copy and paste speed, but until Apple Developers come to the rescue for us, this could save a little time when matching layout of existing document. I hope this helps out in the mean time! :)

    Can't open Adobe documents on iPad 3 with Adobe app

    Here is web site where I had the problem.
    http://hosted.rightprospectus.com/IvyFunds/Fund.aspx?dt=AR&cu=8911&ss=IF
    Since then I received another such email with a pdf extension and it worked!
    I got this reply from Adobe on my problem with the above link.
    "Thanks John,
    I looked at your screenshots, and it appears that the issue you are seeing is that the website you are trying to get the documents from is not compatible with the iPad. Unfortunately, many websites have still not yet updated to work with the new mobile systems, but since tablet sales are increasing rapidly, and should overtake laptops in the next 3 years, that will change.
    The website seems to be using an HTML feature called “Object Embedding” which only works on desktop computers. The website seems to also be presenting a dialog to the user letting them know that to view the embedded PDF they need to install Adobe Reader, and forwards the user to our standard Adobe Reader download page.
    The net is that I don’t know how to make this work for you, unless you can find a way to make that website give you a link to just download the PDF directly.

  • Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad

    Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad 2. Document succesfully transferred as Pages document to computer, but Pages 2.0,2 wouldn;t open it. Version too old?

    Pages 2 is iWork '06, two versions behind what the iOS Pages creates. You need to use Pages '09 which you can purchase from the Mac App Store as a stand-alone application or a retail box of the iWork '09 suite.

    Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • Is there an issue opening Pages documents between iMac and iPad"

    got the most recent version of operating systems and pages on both iMac and iPad; thought I should be able to open Pages document on both computer and device.  am I wrong?

    Make sure you are trying to open these documents in Pages 5. If you're using a Dock icon you had before updating, be aware that the Dock icons are not updated & will continue to launch the previous version which is still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork 09.

  • Unable to open PDF documents on iPad

    When I try to open a PDF document on my iPad it says the document is corrupted or damaged. This started happening after the IOS 7.1 update. I updated adobe reader last week and restarted the iPad and nothing has changed. I can open the same document on android and windows with no issues.

    Unfortunately, we are still unable to reproduce the problem on our end.
    However, a forum user (d_hoe) gave us a helpful tip for opening a PDF document from Apple Mail (iOS native mail app) today.
    "I only click on "Download full message" and then I download / open the PDF file. Both App´s standard PDF viewer / iBooks and Adobe Reader display it correctly. If I don´t click on "Download full message" first the PDF is not displayed correctly."
    It sounds like Apple Mail may be corrupting a PDF attachment.
    Do you see "Download full message" at the end of your email message with a PDF attachment?
    Could you try the following steps?
    In Apple Mail, scroll to the end of your email message.
    Tap "Download full message" (if visible).
    Long press (press & hold) the PDF attachment icon.
    Select "Open in Adobe Reader".
    Is your PDF document still corrupted or damaged?
    Please let us know.  This would help other users who have encountered the same problem.
    Thank you for your help!

    I was having an issue opening a spreadsheet with the file extension .xlsm. This appears as an attachment from a client which means macros were utilized when creating the spreadsheet. The problem lies in. The iPads ability to open the attachment. I downloaded the numbers app thinking this would be a default software to open any and all spreadsheets.
    Please Help!
    Ipad 2- iOS5

    You may need a version without macros on it. Unfortunately, pretty much all apps are skinned down versions of their original program, often with less functionality. For example in a word document I can italicize,bold and underline, but I only have a handful of fonts to play with and I don't think I can insert tables or images.
    It is very possible that the app simply cannot run macros, which means that document may never work on an iPad.

  • Can I open existing documents in Pages on iPad

    I emailed a word document to myself from a windows computer. When I open it on my Mac Pro and iPad some of the alignments are distorted. I tried opening it in the Documents app on my iPad and it still looks distorted. Is this simply because I'm trying to open a word document on this non-word computer/iPad?  Is there a way to open this document, whether in an app or not, so that the word document looks like it does on the windows computer? And if I open it in Pages or Documents app, can I edit it to fix the issues?

    Yes you can open it in Pages. You can format it Pages as well. You can also save the document as a Word doc, PDF, Pages or an ePub file.
    I take it that you don't have Pages and are trying to make a decision on whether to plunk down the money for it or for another WP app.
    There are 6 preinstalled resume templates in the iOS pages app as well. I know that you have already gone to all of the work of setting up the resume in Word, but worst case scenario, you could always choose one of those.
    I am not trying to paint a picture of gloom here for you. There will always be some formatting issues going from a Word file to. Pages or any of the other WP iPad apps, but Pages should work just fine for your word processing needs. There are other apps that are supposedly even more compatible with Word files. Take a look here for more ideas.

  • Open Maverick Numbers Document on iPad

    My wife is unable to open Numbers documents on her iPad (iOS 7) that I have created for her on my iMac (OS 10.9 Mavericks). Message says 'Spreadsheet can't be imported...   ...created with an unsupported application version'. She has downloaded the latest version of Numbers from the App Store on her iPad to cover that aspect, but message persists.
    Surely this must be possible, but what needs to be done?

    I am having the exact same issue. I keep everything on dropbox for work and since the updates to iOS and Maverick they are not compatible. The Numbers app on my iPhone 5 is 2.0 and the Numbers app on my iMac is 3.0, which is clearly why it doesn't work, but why would they not update both, I thought that was the whole point of being able to read and update the same documents on multiple devices through different platforms..?
    Any help would be much appreciated, I desperately need this facility for my work!
    Thanks

  • Cannot open, share or download Pages document from iPad or iCloud

    Hi,
    My girlfriend's sister is having some trouble where one specific pages document will not open and we cannot do anything with it (i.e. open, save as PDF, email as word file etc).
    In iCloud you get the error "You need a newer version of pages to open this document".
    On the iPad, error is "Document can't be opened".
    She has pages version 1.7.2 on the iPad which is the latest version in the Apple Store.
    I managed to get a pages file (or package) onto my PC to have a look at it and it is in the form of a folder called "name.pages-tef" and inside are the following:
    If I open Index.db with notepad I can see her notes but they're surrounded by copious amounts of nonsensical code. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    The following link gets into the real details of the different file formats for Pages documents (there are three versions).  The "-tef" file format is specifically for iOS and is translated to a mac format when using the file on a mac.  One question is how was the file created?  On a mac or on the ipad?
    At any rate, around half way through the article is the beginning discussion of the -tef format.  This may explain some of your issues.

    I just updated my pages and now it won't load. This is on my iPad. The first version which has the latest version it can have 5.1 or something like that. I am trying to open a document and am worried that if I uninstall and reinstall I will lose all my documents

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • Delete dropbox from opening documents on ipad

    It seems that no matter what i wish to download on ipad, all are saved to dropbox and dropbox cannot read the file, so i wish to change the settings so that downloaded documents are opened in pages maybe.
    Can someone please direct me to the right settings on my ipad to stop dropbox being the default opening programm.
    Many thanks
    Sue

    Where are the documents being "downloaded" to? When you tap and hold down on a document as a mail attachment - you should get the Open In option to pop up and then you can select Open In Pages - if that is where you want to open the document.
    Are you using file sharing with iTunes to transfer your Pages files? Using iCloud?

  • Cannot open Pages document on iMac created on iPad

    I createdc a document using Pages 09 on my iPad 3 in December 2012 and saved it to iCloud. Since then I've got an Imac and installed Pages 09 on that computer. Now, when I try to open that document, created on my iPad, on the iMac it won't open, nor will it open on the iPad anymore. I get an error message saying '...couldn't open this document...'. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong and how to rectify this please? I've got the latest iOS on the iPad and running fully updated Mountain Lion on the iMac. Thanks very much for any help.

    The document is probably corrupt. I wouldn't trust that the uploading to iCloud always is complete. I would always have a copy on the iPad or the Mac. You never know when connection is slow or going down and if you are uploading at that time you are bound to get problems.

  • Pages 5.0 can't open iCloud documents.  Has anybody run into this issue?

    Here's the story:
    I upgraded to Pages 5.0 and can't open .pages documents saved in icloud.
    It does not seem to be a file incompatibility.  I am creating files in Pages for Mac, saving them to iCloud.  They are immediately unable to re-open. 
    I only get a message saying:  The file “{file name}.pages” couldn’t be opened.
    Documents can be created without issue.  If they are saved to my local drive, I can open them again.
    Obviously, this makes it very difficult to use Pages with any other devices because document syncing is impossible.
    Details on my system:
    Mid-2010 13" Macbook pro
    2.4 Ghz core 2 duo
    8 GB ram
    OS X 10.9

    I was also experiencing same issues without being to open Older Pages Docs from iCloud in Pages 5.  I followed suneson Recommendation and process to the T...    Works perfectly. 
    Important to note you do have to do the second part in order for it to work completely.  I tested just the first half and still had issues.  Once Disabling and Re-enabling Documents and Clearing Cache - works perfectly now.  Thanks Suneson!
    Suneson process:
    Move all of your iCloud documents to a local folder (offline).
    Go to the iCloud preference pane i System Preferences.
    Click Manage... and delete all Pages data.
    The Next Step is required:
    Go back to iCloud preferences and uncheck "Documents & Data".
    Check it again.
    Delete ~/Library/Caches/--anything related to Pages or iWork--
