No quicklook/preview for documents created with Pages 5.5!

Before opening files and find you can hit the spacebar and have a preview of most of the file types.
This always worked well with Pages until the newest version 5.5. Now I can only preview the files created with older versions of Pages.
Every file created with the new version only shows the icon or a very blurred image but not a readable preview of the file itself like before. Even worse, if you change a file with Pages 5.5 you also can't see a preview any more.
Apple's telephone hotline had no solution.
Any idea for a solution would be very helpful as my DevonThink database also uses the preview feature and opening any file before being able to have a quick look on it is really annoying.
Has anybody experienced this problem?

There's no preview on iPad or iPhone either for these files. You can't see the content in DevonThink to go.

Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions. Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

Printing problems with Pdf documents created with Pages

I upgraded to Acrobat 8.0 recently and for some reason when I save a Pages document to pdf, within the print options then try and print, it prints blank.
I have created other pdf documents which print OK, so the problem lies somewhere within Pages.
I didn't have the problem with Acrobat 7.0
ANy ideas

When you say "Acrobat", do you mean Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro? Or do you mean Adobe Reader?
If it is Adobe Acrobat, I would go to the preflight option and see what information you get there. But no, I have not had the problem myself.

Can't open documents created in Pages with macBook pro running maverick

Hello,
I just bought the new MacBook Pro and downloaded iWork. Now when I create a document in Pages and save it to Documents, I can't open it. I get an error messages saying a file is missing. Also, all my old documents created with Pages that I transfered from my old MacBook won't open. It says file too old, need to save to Pages 09.
Tried opening the old documents in Pages 08 and saving them, but still can't open them.
Any suggestions?

Further to my earlier post about this problem, our IT man came in to the office, by coincidence, so I grabbed him and it seems that he has cracked it.
You need to proceed as follows :
Select the document by single click on the icon (i.e. select it but don't double click which will try to open it.)
Go to File Menu and chose "Get Info"
Half way down the drop down menu, chose "Open with" then select Pages 4.0 (i.e. the iWorks 9 version)
This process will open that particular iWorks 8 document.
But, if you also tick the "Change All" box it means that opening with the new version of Pages will become the default and will apply to all iWork 8 documents so you should not need to bother with this ever again.
So far, that seems to work.
(One might have thought it would have been a good idea for Apple to have built this in as a default ?)

Why iCloud only allows store documents created by Pages, Numbers or Key Note ? How can I "iCloud" documents created with Word Mac or Excel mac??

iwork for ios accepts for upload and also happily opens all your Microsoft office files, from Office97 standard doc/xls/ppt to the 2011 versions of docx,xlsx,pptx and various other of these format extensions.
Notice : the upload feature in www.icloud.com is only active if you in fact own these apps on your iPhone/Pad/pod. it is not a feature of iWork for the Mac ( iwork09 ) which itself is not icloud capable at all.

I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings.

I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings. But while I can upload documents from my MAC onto ICloud, they don't show on my IOS devices (whereas previously this worked without issues).

On this Mac I did move all the visible iCloud documents out of iCloud, into another folder, then disabled syncing, exactly as you suggested. But there were, apparently, documents remaining in my Mac's local iCloud store, "~/Library/Mobile Documents/" that I could not see (so could not remove). The Pages file "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" was one such document.
The act of disabling iCloud's document sync'ing, in System Prefs, just renames the local "iCloud" store to "~/Library/Mobile Documents/<appleid#>/" effectively shielding the it from the sync'ing mechanism. Looking at this renamed folder (the screenshot above) revealed that "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" (and other files) had not been removed; it would be reasonable to assume that one, or more, of these "undeletable" files were related to my original problem, and when I re-enabled doc sync'ing, those bad files would just clog up the works again.
So I deleted them with the Finder on both Macs (the other Mac had bad files too, but different ones), then re-enabling sync'ing on the two Macs and doc sync'ing between the Macs (and iCloud.com) appears to now work as intended.
Sadly, iOS devices (iPhone and two iPad) now do not sync at all. Newly created documents do not migrate to any other devices, and documents on other devices do to migrate to the iOS devices.
Your suggestions have certainly done some good, but something is now keeping my iOS devices out of the the iCloud doc sync'ing process. I suspect it's a similar problem as the Macs had ("invisible" files gumming up the works), so I'm going to apply some nasty tricks to explore the iOS devices file system and see if I can find them, and delete them by brue force.

When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added

When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added. Why does this happen?

Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.
Thanks again for helping me resolve this problem.

How can I expand the gutters in a document created with a Pages brochure template?

How can I expand the gutters/ space between panels on a document created with a Pages brochure template?

You haven't said which.
Each panel is usually just a locked object, unlock them and resize the boxes.

Document created in Pages 06 will no longer open with it!

I have a document created in Pages 06. I have the trial version of Pages 08, but it's run out of it's trial period. I just opened the document briefly to read it, and 08 opened it. I wanted to see it in 06, as I needed to change it and save it, but, once closed, if I try to open it with version 2, I get a message saying it needs a newer version to open it! Get Info makes it appear that I can open it with version 2 by selecting that, but in the end, I get the same error message. It's looking like I'm being forced into upgrading here! Any help? P.S. In Get Info window, I see that version 3 is marked "default." Perhaps if there were a way to change that, I'd be OK. But "changing all" in that same window does not fix the problem.

It would appear that you saved that document at least once with Pages 3/'08. Unless you marked the box to save in iWork '06 format, it will save in the current version. Changing would require opening it in Pages 3 & saving as iWork '06.
If it is only that one file, you can send it to me (zip/archive it first) & I will save it as Pages 2 & send it back. Click my name in blue next to this post. My public e-mail address is in the biography section. Just replace (AT) with @.

HT204394 how to rename a document created with iwork pages

how do one rename a document created with iwork pages?

So the "Rename" command is not supposed to work? It is a dead link and crashes Pages.
Where did Pages save the file that I wanted to put into the folder of related documents. Please bring back "save as" or ask where we want the file saved. How else can I find it later?

How can I use documents created in Pages 08 with the most current version of pages?

I just upgraded to the most current version of Pages from Pages 08. However, none of my files created with Pages 08 will open. I am told that I first need to save them with Pages 09, but I don't have Pages 09. What can I do to convert these files into a format that works with the newest Pages?

I have the same problem. There are a couple of clumsy workarounds. One is to open your file with Pages 08 and export it as a Word document, then import it into Pages 5. The second one is to open the file in Pages 08, copy the contents to the clipboard and paste it into Pages 5.

HT2477 Are documentS created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other

Are documents created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other?

As with a lot of software, it depends on the version of Word, and what features the author used.
Technically, Office 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac are supposed to be feature compatible. As are Office 2007 for Windows, and 2008 for Mac.
However, if a person using Office 2010 / 2011 used a feature that only exists in that version and sends the file to someone using Office 2007 / 2008, they would very likely have trouble opening the file, or having it display as intended.

How can I read a document created under "pages" on a Mac book air on an other computer

How can I read a document created under "pages" on a Mac book air on an other computer or even send this document in a mail to anyone ?

Only Pages, Preview, Pages for iCloud beta, and Pages v2 or later on IOS 7 can open native Pages v5.2.2 (.pages) documents. Sending a Pages v5.2.2 document to someone without Pages v5.2.2 is futile.
If you are using Gmail or Dropbox, you will need to right-click on that Pages document, and then choose compress from the contextual menu. You can then attach filename.pages.zip, because it appears as a single document, and not a folder.
Pages v5.2.2 has a Share button on the Toolbar. Providing your document is already in iCloud storage, you can Send a Link to iCloud via the following:
The Share toolbar icon also allows you to Send a Copy to Email, Messages, and AirDrop. This will present you with the document export sheet, the same one you get if you chose to File > Export To menu item, as the alternative.
If you are sharing document content with an MS Office user, then the document you want to send them is either a Word .docx, or .doc. If they want just a read-only view of your content, send a PDF, for improved cross-platform exchange.

Posting a chart created with Pages

I created a chart.
I want to post it on an internet board.
I see no way to convert this chart to jpeg, gif or anything else that is usable.
How do you add a chart created with Pages to an internet post or a blog?
Thank you in advance for any help.
I have trouble believing this can not be done.

It's not hidden.
We have two ways to create PDFs
(a) Print as PDF
(b) Share > Export > PDF.
If you enter the "Pages User Guide", which is available to all of us, and search for the intricate keyword "PDF" you will get (page 35)
You can also export Pages documents to Microsoft Word, PDF, Rich Text Format (RTF), and Plain Text. See “Exporting to Other Document Formats” on page 249 for details.
Page 249 you will read:
Exporting to Other Document Formats
You can share your Pages documents across different platforms by exporting them to other formats, such as Microsoft Word, PDF, or plain text.
If the document you want to export is password-protected, the password protection is removed from Word, RTF, and plain text formats.
To export a document to another file format:
1 Choose Share > Export.
2 Choose a format for the document and click Next.
3 Type a new name for the document.
4 Choose where you want to save the document.
5 Click Export.
You can export a Pages document in these formats:
• PDF files can be created using an image quality of good, better, or best. When the image quality is set to best, the resolution of images isn’t scaled down. When the image quality is set to better, images are downsampled to 150 dpi. When the image quality is set to good, images are downsampled to 72 dpi. Images without an alpha channel are JPEG compressed with a compression level of 0.7 at the good setting and 0.9 at the better setting.
You can password-protect your PDF. To learn more about securing your document,
see “Password-Protecting Your Document” on page 35.
When you export a Pages document, hyperlinks are exported. Hyperlinks are
created in the PDF document for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email messages, and bookmarks.
The PDF file, which preserves font characters used in the document, can be viewed or printed in Preview, viewed or printed in Safari, and edited with a PDF application.
For the alternate way, it's not a feature dedicated to iWork but it's a component of the operating system so there is no reason to describe it in the application's help.
If you enter the System Help and search for the same complex keyword, the four first entries returned are:
Using Preview to view images and PDFs
Editing Quartz Filters
Geting the best quality when you print a PDF file
Saving a document as a PDF file.
A double click on this entry returns:

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.
