Open a Pages created PDF in Pages?

I created a document in Pages and exported it as a PDF.   I no longer have a copy of the document in any format other than the PDF.   How do I reopen that document in Pages to make changes?

In addition to Matt's recommendation, if there are images in that PDF that you also no longer have, then I suggest you obtain the free LibreOffice (providing you now have Mountain Lion or later). Drag the PDF onto the LibreOffice icon, and the PDF will be opened for editing. In the LibreOffice View menu, choose Page Pane. This is the thumbnail view for the PDF pages.
In LibreOffice, right-click on any image in the PDF, and from the contextual menu, choose copy. You can now paste this image back into the new Pages document. When done, simply quit LibreOffice without making any changes to the PDF.

  • Creating PDFs using Pages and Mail

    Hi,
    I'm  a contractor and I use Pages and Mail to to create PDFs of invoices that I email to clients in the form of attachments. I have Mail set up to to send only Windows friendly attachments, and to put them at the end of emails. I have one client, the facilities director of a large community college, who consistently cannot open the attachments; he can read the text of the emails, but he cannot open the attachments. He has to send them to his IT department, where they use a mac computer of some kind to open the attachments, which they send them back to him. I've discussed this with their IT department, and they've told me that they have to use a mac to open my attachments. If anyone can offer some advice on this issue, I'd appreciate it.
    Caoim

    I know from my own experience that although there should be no problems with Mail's attachments, just once in a while recipients have the problems you describe.
    The solution that worked for me 100% reliably was to install the paid for plug-in Attachment Tamer from: lokiware.info
    You can use it for free to test it before committing to purchase, but I'm pretty sure all your recipients will be able to cope with all your attachments.
    To elaborate, I used to have to send numerous attachments every day to mostly PC users. Randomly some would complain that I'd either forgotten to include the attachment (I hadn't) or they couldn't read it/open it/save it, etc. It's quite likely the fault was in the way their email client was configured. All I know is that as soon as I installed Attachment Tamer (it was Mail Attachments Iconizer back then) I never had any more complaints. For the knowledge that I wasn't going to be pestered into trying different ways of sending the files I was happy to pay for the plugin.
    (Usual caveat: I have no connection with Lokiware, but very happy to recommend their product).

  • Does pages create pdf files or should i use adobe

    I need to have software that can read and create pdf files.  Does "pages" do this or should I use adobe?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Pages can create PDF files. To do it, create a document and, when you have finished it, choose the File menu (on the menu bar) > Export > PDF, so you will be able to read this document with any other PDF software.
    However, Pages can't read PDF files. To read PDF files, Mac OS X comes with Preview, so you don't need to get Adobe Reader to use PDF files on your Mac

  • Pages: create pdf documents with hyperlinks to web pdf files

    Hi everybody,
    I've created a pdf file with Pages, it contains a number of hyperlinks some of them work and the others don't.
    The ones that works are linked to an html page, and those non working are linked to pdf documents on the net (still beginning with http:// but ending with .pdf).
    I don't know ho to solve this because Pages automatically create hyperlinks and the only options available are email, pages document, web page and bookmarks.
    Any suggestion?
    Thx

    Hi Jeff and thanks for the reply,
    the links work perfectly in the pages document but one I've exported it in pdf some of them don't work anymore.
    I don't see any difference in the url structure of the pdf links, they are copied ant pasted from the url box of the browser.
    Here's one of the link that don't work
    http://www.enpap.it/documenti/elezioni1317/NOTAI_COLLEGIO3_SUD_E_ISOLE.pdf
    Could the problem has something to do with the underscores or capital letters? It would seem strange but I don't know what's going on.

  • Not able to open a Word created doc in Pages

    just installed iWork 09.
    I tried a test and generated a document in Pages saving a copy as a Word document. Sent it to our PC laptop with Office. It opened just fine.
    I did performed the opposite test of creating a new document in Word, sent it to our Mac, downloaded the file and drug the doc file over the Pages icon. It gives me a "document could not be opened prompt".
    Is there a setting I need to make in Pages?

    Sure it was a regular Word document, not a MsWorks document, a template or a passworded Word document?

  • How do I create PDF of pages behind a log-in page (firewall)?

    It seems to only save the page where I log-in, not the subsequent page AFTER I log in. I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and I've tried using the "Create from a Web Page" option where I cut and paste the URL. Not sure how else to do it. I also used Chrome plug in directly from Chrome and that didn't work either.

    You may be able to do it by adding the userID and password in the URL in the manner dictated for URLs. It is something like
    http://username:[email protected]@example.com
    though many browsers and maybe Acrobat are no longer supporting this format.

  • Convert pages to pdf - Contents Page

    Hi Everyone,
    I have just been using the discussion threads to add a contents page to my pages document (Thanks! These were very helpful).
    When I am in pages, the contents page has page numbers that become links to those pages and I am able to quickly use the contents page to jump to any section.
    Once I converted my document to a PDF, the contents page lost its ability to 'click and jump' to a certain section, and rather just became a text list.
    Is there any way to keep this active once it is converted to a PDF? If not, if there something other than a contents page that will accompolish the same outcome (Eg the ability to create a hyperlink to a page within the same text)?
    Thanks

  • Removing links in a web page created using web page composer

    Hi there,
    I am creating web pages using Web page composer. I would like to remove the links Send Feedback, E-mail, Print, Add to Favorites, RSS. How can i achieve this?
    Your comments are highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Ponraj M

    To configure the functions of the page header you will have to wait for SP14.
    I guess to change the header for an SP13 you have to modify the pageheader.jsp. The page is part of the com.sap.nw.wpc.runtime.PageHeaderComponent.
    Please note that this modification is not supported by SAP!

  • Is Adobe Acrobat an integral part of OS X? I do not see the Adobe Icon on my Macbook pro, but I can open,read and create PDF fies

    Is Adobe Acrobat an integral part of OS X? I do not see the icon for Adobe in Applications

    No. However, OS X has always used the PDF format to raster pages to printers.
    It has built-in support for PDF, but some of the advanced features are not available. The Preview app can be used to view PDFs, and Safari can render PDFs in the browser.

  • Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

    I have a problem with my Pages
    My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
    I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
    I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
    fonts are missing...
    Is there a workaround.
    I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
    I need help
    thanks a zillion

    The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
    Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
    Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
    You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
    The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
    I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
    What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
    So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
    I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
    The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
    So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
    To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
    Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
    If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
    So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
    Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
    Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
    Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
    Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
    Good luck,

  • Creating PDF from HTML without background

    Hi,
    I want to create a PDF from a html-page. I tried several ways without success to get a PDF without a background (white). I need a transparent background to add different backgrounds for different pages in Acrobat X Pro.  I use an iMac with OSX 10.10.2, Safari 8.0.4 and have the MasterCollection 6 installed. I tried:
    - print page -> create PDF Result: white background which hides added background
    - print page -> save as Adobe-PDF Result: white background which hides added background
    - in Acrobat: create PDF from web Result: white background which hides added background
    In all cases it doesn't matter if I select "print background" or not. And it doesn't change if I add in the CSS for the web a body {background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0)} or body {background-color:transparent}.
    How can I create a PDF with no or transparent background?

    Hi Manoj
    If your application generate a static html page, you can open those html files with Reports 9i and add a dynamic data sections which would be fetch the data in your html pages with Report servcies. However you can only run those modified pages as a jsp and show the output to browser window.
    Thanks

  • How to create a 4 page pdf from images - each page should open at same size

    How do I create a 4 page pdf (from 4 images - all the same size) that opens each page at  full page size?
    Thank you so much.
    Ginger
    PREVIOUS MSG:
    My goal is to create multi page pdfs that are created from images (scans of old brochures).  I receive images (scans of pages) all at the same size.
    I have been able to create the 4 pdfs (each opens at full page size) and merge into 1 pdf.  When I open that final pdf, I  see a column of 4 pages, page 1 image being larger than the remaining 3. When I  click on the left, page 1, icon,  I get the full page.  When I click on icons for pages 2 - 4, I get nothing.  The only way I can get the other pages in a full page view is to adjust the scaling after left icon is selected.  That is not what I want.
    How I created the files.
    I can either create pdf pages using Photoshop, or using Acrobat Pro itself through:
    File> Create PDF> From File and adding each of the images.  I then, for each, choose Properties> Initial View> Fit Page> Save. Then I use File> Combine> Merge Files into Single PDF> Save.
    Then I open the multi page pdf.
    I appreciate any help.
    Thank you,
    Ginger
    PREVIOUS MS

    It seems to me what you want to do is create one document which a combination of all four  and then one page of each.
    To create a Document with 4 pages combined in to one PDF.  open the first in a Series the to Edit menu and click on add pages click on next document (browse to document first) the choose attach to to end of document or add to  end of document. Repeat until you get all images added. They will end up (or should ) center in center of their own page. Save this document with a new name for now.
    Next go back to Photo shop and reduce size of images to fit desired sheet of paper (8-1/2 by 11, 8-1/2 by 14, whatever) place them side by side and row by row so you have 4 images on one page.
    now save as Pdf.
    now decide which you want to swap to the Thumbnails (the 4 on one page, or 4 individual pages.  I would use the thumbnails and make each a button that references the page in the document you save as a 4 page pdf that applies.
    Then on that page write a line saying click each illustration to see full size image (you might have to write this line while in Photoshop) then save this as PDF file
    Try out. You might have to use some javascript controls to do this. But I am not experienced in JavaScript to do this. I'm sure it cane be done.
    But note you will have to save both documents with the Thumbnails and the four page and Thumbnail page in a folder and send to prospect
    If you want just four separate pages in one Pdf just do first two paragraphs above

  • How can I prevent Firefox from opening the file I create when I print a page with PDF Create! 5

    After I print a web page using PDF Create! 5, Firefox opens the file so i can view it. Before I print, I select print properties and disable "view resulting pdf". However, the file is always opened in Adobe Acrobat, although I believe I have Adobe Reader set as default. I do not want any file to open. This happens on my non-privileged accounts. On my privileged account, the file is not opened. I have removed Firefox profiles, re-installed Firefox, Reset Firefox in Help-Troubleshooting. PDF Create!5 print screen can only be viewed in a host program such as Firefox, Libre-office Writer, or any other program that prints. They do not open the file either.

    Thanks for your help. This is the Scansoft (Nuance) program. What I do not understand is why when I tell the print driver not to open the file with a privileged account, it obeys me. I am not sure where in the registry I would look for the information. I do not want to, but perhaps I should remove the Adobe Acrobat program (temporarily?) - then what would it do? Again, when I print from other programs - browsers, wordprocessors, etc - the file is not opened after printing, just with FireFox. I guess I can live with it, I have spent too much time already.

  • Create pdf from html, how to adjust page size

    I have a large html file that I need to convert to a pdf. I am able to open the html in acrobat and save as pdf, but I cannot find where to adjust the page size. When I save the html in acrobat, the saved file is still a single page, but when I open the page in reader, then there are page breaks.
    How do I adjust the page size and create a single page document?
    There is also a header and footer line that I don't want. How do I get rid of those?
