OPening PDF in Pages

How do you open a .pdf file in pages? I received new letterhead and I would like to be able to use it. I cannot open the .pdf file to make changes or add text. Any suggestions? It does open in preview, but it's just that; a preview. I need to be able to use the file for more than just printing.

Interesting question, since the question shows a problem in documentation.
The idea behind Adobe PostScript and Adobe PDF is to create a page description that is INDEPENDENT of the authoring application and the font software used in the authoring application.
The authoring application writes its internal format into the external format of a page description and the internal format is lost - the page description is not editable.
There are two applications that can open PDF, Adobe Illustrator whose internal format was the source of the PDF format, and Adobe Acrobat editions other than the free Reader.
However, editing the PDF does not work well even for very, very limited changes and for major changes editing does not work at all.
PDF was billed as 'Paper without the chase' when it was introduced in 1993. It is intended as a passive container format for presentation information.

How do I open PDF with Page?

I bought an Ipad to use at work and bought Page because the sales person said it would do what I need.
I cant open my PDF documents, does anybodu know how?

You cannot open PDF files in Pages. You can save/export Pages documents as PDF files, but you cannot open them in Pages. The salesman was wrong,

Underlying images appear for a moment upon opening pdf or page turn.

Hi, when I export from indesign to pdf, then open the pdf, a graphic layered behind the top graphic on the first page appears first; so instead of seeing the cover of the book, the reader sees one of the layers first, for a second or two, then the top layer appears. Is there a way to 'flatten' pdf content so this doesn't happen? It also happens on page turn, as it takes a moment for the front-most graphic to appear, and in the meantime reveals the one below it.

Everytime you change the page Acrobat needs to redraw all of the page elements. The dealy is probably a reflection of the amount off video memory available, as much as anything.

This morning, Firefox stopped opening .pdf documents that I am trying to retrieve from websites. It does not download them, and the page goes blank, with nothing more happening. What do I do to fix it?

I went to the FAA website, and I needed to review a document. I clicked on the link, the page turned blank, but I never saw the document. I tried again, but I still could not get the document. Word documents still bring up the dialog box allowing me to open the document. I went to another website to find additional information on the project I am working on, and I am experiencing the same problem, when I click on a link to a pdf, it will not open, and the download dialog box does not open.
I have tried looking at applications and plugins, but everything seems to be fine. What do I do to fix this?
Thanks,
Anne

Is there a way to make Safari open PDF pages without opening Finder and select Reader from my applications folder?

Simple, When I want to open a .pdf page from the web, I get Finder to open and I have to go to my applications folder to pick up Acrobat reader, Is there a way to have Safari doing it all by itself, Preview, or any other program?

Right or control click a PDF file you have on the hard drive then click: Get Info
In the Get Info panel click the pop up menu next to: Open with

Cannot Open pdf from a link inside a web page.

I cannot open a pdf that is in link in a web page. I get an error message saying "cannot find file ... Make sure that path or Internet address is correct"it is looking for the PDF on our network and also when I open the Web page from a flash drive on the same computer where the web page and PDF are in the same folder, it asks if I trust the site and I choose Allow and the PDF does not open then either. But when i do the latter on a different machine, open the folder and web page from a FD where they are in the same folder, it asks if I trust the site and I choose Allow, it opens the PDF.

PDF is not working on Firefox 4.0.1,when klik on a PDF link below,than only opens a blank page?

I google en don't find any Plugin for firefox 4.0.1 for open PDF Dokument in Internet Pages.

I am not sure I have created a bookmark correctly. I first created a fix.html file, pasted the javascript code that cor-el provided into the file, saved it, then opened it and added it as a bookmark.
I tried dragging that bookmark onto the webpage, but it didn't help.
Then I went to properties of the bookmark from that file, pasted the javascript into the "location" field, and dragged that onto the webpage, but it didn't help either.
Then I deleted everything out of the file, leaving the javascript code still in the "location" field, but it still didn't help when dragged onto the webpage.
A s much as I dislike it, my only option is to use IE, which has NO problem with the web page.

IWeb • How Do I Make Links in an Embedded PDF Document Open in New Page?

On this page http://ostyn-newman.com/Gov_Downloads.html I have a PDF document that is embedded. I tried an IFrame, but everything seemed to work better for me with the "Embed" code. I am open to changing this if it would be better. Here's my problem. I can get the PDF document to display fine, but when I click on the links in the PDF document, the destination page opens in the embedded window. I want the links to open the destination in a new window.
I created the part of the document with most of the links (Pages 8.5 - 56) in Numbers and cut and pasted the table into a Pages document to create the completed document on our site. I exported the docuemnt from Pages as a PDF file which is what you see. There is also a link to download the file on the same page which works just fine.
I have tried to insert the target="_blank" code but have not been able to get it to open the destination pages in a new window. I am inserting the code by using the Insert/Widget/HTML Snippet Feature in IWeb. Here is the code I am using.

border-style:solid;"
scrolling="auto" >
</embed>
I am not a coder and have just used Google to find the code to cut and paste and have played around with it to get to the place I am. If anybody can tweak the code I have or offer some totally new code for me to insert that will get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Please keep in mind that most of the people who visit and use this page are government employees and are almost exclusivey using Explorer.

Thank you Jeff,
I tried your original suggestion and now my inserted html widget reads

It is live on my site. You can see that the embedded document still opens the destination links in the embedded window.
As for your other two suggestions, thank you as well. I am aware of those techniques and did not use them because that is not how I want the other PDF links on the page to behave. The catalog and autocad blocks downloads in the box at the top should simply download (or behave however the client's browser is configured to handle downloaded PDF documents or zip files.) I don't intend to force those to open a new window. I could also have our client click on a link to the PDF document and open it in a new page (like in your second suggestion) but I was hoping to embed the PDF and have it automatically viewable on our Download • Terms • Prices Page with all of the PDF search functions intact as well as the links be active. My only complaint at this point is that the links in the embedded PDF document open the destination page in the embed window instead of a new window. I only want to force a new window because the destination window doesn't behave properly when it opens in my embed window and it is difficult to figure out how to go back to the my PDF document when a destination window gets opened in the embed window. The code you sent didn't do the trick. Or maybe I didn't get it exactly right. That is why I included it above. Thanks for trying though. I appreciate the effort.
I would be willing to bypass the imbed/iFrame route altogether if I could just somehow drop the Pages document into the IWeb page and retain the search and link features, but I've not been able to figure out how to do that. When I was exploring how to directly drop a Pages document into an IWeb page is when I stumbled on the method of embedding a PDF document into an IWeb page to retain the important search and link features.

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

Hi Tom,
I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
Best regards, mbd

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
