Page documents as pdf?

Pages in iWorks are text documents but can be saved as pdf's for sending via email.
However, how I can save as a pdf to a file?
Martin

Or, which I prefer, command + P and click on the PDF button.

  • HT4356 How do you conver a Page document to PDF when there is no printer available

    I purchased a $400 printer last year..now I cannot use it with my IPAD3 because it has to be an Air Print printer.
    I need to convert my Page document to PDF and the only way to do that is to go to Print a document...but, when
    I get there it tells me that I don't have a printer...Therefore, I cannot get to PDF conversion...
    I thought Apple have an incredible group of smart software engineers  ...what happened?
    Now, I have to go and buy another $400 printer to be able to convert a document to PDF?
    I bought this IPAD3 for my wife since she is not a computer expert but, so far I see that this is a  product more compicated than a personal computer.
    The hardware is great but,  so far my wife has a hard time to use the Apps I got for this IPAD...I'm a software programmer working for a major computer company and I also have a hard time trying to get these functions to work...

    Under "Share and Print", tap "Email Document", then choose PDF. Alternately, tap "Sent to iTunes", "Copy to iDisk", or "Copy to WebDAV" and then choose PDF...

  • Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

    Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
    I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
    with the same results, which are...
    Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
    I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
    I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
    Any advice on
    a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
    b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
    that might convert more accurately?
    many thanks

    Thank you Roger!
    I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
    It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
    I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
    Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
    If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!

  • Can't export Pages document to PDF

    I have been trying to export a Pages document to PDF a number of times and get the following message: "The application Pages quit unexpectedly." I have rebooted and still can't export. Can anyone help, please? Thanks so much.

    paramita,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    That particular issue usually indicates either a bad font or a corrupt image. Or both. Try validating your fonts using Font Book. If you've got a corrupt font, change fonts in your document. If Font Book tells you all your fonts are healthy, try pulling half of the images out of your document, then saving again as a PDF. If it works, you know you've got a corrupt image in the half you pulled out.

  • How can I convert a Pages document into PDF or RTF?

    I have been asked to send a Pages document to PC users in RTF or PDF format.  How can I get my Pages document to convert into other formats for PC people?
    Is that what the export feature is supposed to do?  I just don't know how to sent my document via e-mail to non-Apple conputers!

    You didn’t indicate whether you are using Pages ’09 v4.+ or the latest Pages v5(.2) release. To send an email with either Word or PDF attachment from within Pages:
    Pages ’09 v4+
    Pages menubar > Share (category Send via Mail) > (select Word (.doc) or PDF). Mail will launch into a compose window with the document already attached.
    Pages v5+
    Pages toolbar > Share > Send a Copy > Email > (select Word (.doc/x) or PDF - best). Mail will behave as above.
    Note: Either version of Pages is not an MS Word clone and it must translate content into the Microsoft document architecture. If you must have maximum Word document accuracy, you will need Office for Mac 2011, and the associated MS Word application that produces native .docx format.
    Backup your work.

  • I am writing a book to be published.  how to i get my pages documents to PDF or JPG or something else that is at least 224 pixels per inch?

    i am writing a book to be published.  how do i get my "pages document" to a high definition level...at least 224 pixels per inch?  i can get to 150 ppi via preview to JPG, but that seems to be the best i can do with my new snow leopard imac.

    Hello Barbara,
    > i have text written in Pages and these need to be at least 224 ppi.
    i also have photo collages that were created in Pages and also need to be at least 224 ppi.
    the book has about 60 pages of photo collages and about 30 pages of text.
    If you want to print using a digital press or an offset lithographic press at high resolution, then you typography is resolution independent but your photography is not. In other words, you must embed into your Pages document the images in the resolution that is right for rendering in the high resolution raster image processor.
    Raster image processors will as a rule of thumb produce good quality detail if you embed photographs with 300 dot per inch resolution. Because raster image processors differ in how they reproduce detail, and because this information is generally not public a rule of thumb principle is applied in preparing the page description for printing.
    By default, if you use colour transparency in your work, the system graphics service will detect this and save out PDF 1.4 automatically. However, not all raster image processors have PDF frontends that accept PDF 1.4. For this reason, there is a fallback which you must set up yourself.
    If the receiving raster image processor does not have a PDF frontend that accepts PDF 1.4, you have to manually enter the resolution at which the transparency will be rendered. The system graphics service will then render the resolution for you and save out what it technically termed a 'flattended PDF'.
    Alternatively, if you don't want to work with the Apple ColorSync Utility yourself, you can send your PDF 1.4 with resolution independent transparency to a prepress operator who will then use specialised software to render the resolution for the specifics of the service he or she is selling you.
    If you want to work with the prepress interface in system graphics services, then below is a link to summary on setting up the ColorSync Utility for ISO 15930-3:2002 PDF/X-3. This passes prepress preflight testing in Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0.1 (the first version that tested for PDF/X-3).

  • How do I convert a Pages document to pdf on the iPad?

    Does anyone know if there is an app that allows you to do this? I have to create a document in pages, create a pdf of the document, then email it to several addresses. Seems like there ought to be a way to accomplish this on the iPad, and not go to my laptop.

    When you click on the Share icon in the top right corner of Pages, it will ask you how you want to share...
    Share Link via iCloud
    Send a Copy
    Open in Another App
    You said you wanted to e-mail it, so select Send a Copy.  Select Mail.  Now it will ask you for a file format, so select PDF.
    That's it.  Just type in the names of the e-mail recipients and you're good to go.
    If you want to send the document as a non-CC type e-mail message, and BCC won't work because you need to have a custom body in the e-mail, then you can download most any PDF app.  iBooks is an Apple based one and it's free.  Instead of selecting Send a Copy, select Open in Another App.  Now select your format as PDF.  Select Choose App.  Tap on iBooks or whatever.  Now you can send the PDF from iBooks instead.

  • Help! Can't email pages document in pdf

    I'm trying to send a one-page letter that is to be inserted into a book.  The recipient needs the document in PDF format.  I saved it in PDF but when I try to attach it, the whole text prints out into the email instead of a link to an electronic pdf file.  I am able to attach an electronic file of the Pages version, just not PDF.  I'm using Hotmail and a 2011 MacBook Air with Pages '09 version 4.3.

    BCG,
    You are sending a PDF file. It's a feature of Mac Mail, and perhaps other email clients, that the content of a 1-page pdf is displayed automatically, but be assured there is an attachment there that your recepient can save and work with normally.

  • Converting someone else's pages document to PDF?

    a friend sent me a pages document and I can't open it because I use Windows. I've tried many online converters and none of them work, and I've tried looking at any question i can find on a similar subject and none of it is what i need. How can I convert it to a PDF so that I can view the document?

    Try iWork for iCloud in any web browser to view, work on & export (share) the file. You do need an Apple ID, but you obviously have one since you posted here.

  • Changing  A pages document to pdf file.

    we were working with pages and made a flyer, but in order to send it to our print shop, via email, it must be in .pdf format. We tried to change the document from a .pages, to a .pdf, but it says we have to choose .pages, or .pdf.pages. All we want is for it to be in a .pdf format. Any Suggestions?

    Josh,
    You can File > Print > PDF > Save As PDF.
    You can File > Export > PDF
    You can Share > Export > PDF
    You can Share > Send via Mail > PDF
    Still, no guarantee that your printer will be happy, but it's a start.

  • Can not email pages document as pdf

    Every time that I try to send pages doc as pdf, I get the following message: Couldn't create message attachment.  iwork encountered an error while attempting to create the attachment data.

    Greetings Paulydf,
    It seems you are experiencing an issue when attempting to send documents via email from Pages. Keep in mind that emailing from Pages requires your email account to be associated with the Apple Mail app. Are you currently using Apple Mail? The user guide may help in this situation:

  • Send pages document as pdf attachment without including the whole document in the message

    What I am trying to do is to write a document in pages then send it as a pdf attachment which shows as a mail icon in the mail message.  One then clicks on the icon and the attached file opens.  Seems I can do it if I send it as a word doc but every time I try and send it as a PDF the whole document shows up in the email body....
    Is there something I am not doing?
    Thanks
    Bryan

    Hi Gee,
    We also tried this:
    Wrote document in Pages and used "export" to save it as a PDF document.
    Fired up Mail, clicked on add attachment and as usual we got the document in the body
    Highlighted the document and right clicked.
    In drop down menu we selected "show as Icon" and it did just that
    We then sent it to our Tablet where, believe it or not it came up as an attachment NOT in the body of the mail.
    Just shaking our heads on this on but I do really think Jerry is absolutely right so will not take any more chances and add a second page if I have to send a pdf......

  • Saved Pages document as PDF. Now hyperlinks don't work

    After saving my newsletter in Pages 09 as a PDF (Print>Compress as PDF) some embedded hyperlinks don't work. Strangely enough, the links to an e-mail DO work, but links to a URL DO NOT. Why is this and what do I do to overcome this problem?

    That's a fairly long thread I linked to. Did you get all the way down to this post with a screenshot? I see that others had the same problem you do & it took them a couple of tries to get it working. I would be nice to be able to see what you're doing (or not doing), but we have to make do with words & screenshots.

  • Flatten a Pages Document for PDF

    I'm trying to order a large banner for my business. I created it in Pages and then saved it as a PDF. The place I'm ordering it from wants to know if I can flatten it in Pages and then save it as a PDF because the fonts are not coming through correctly. Can anyone help me with this?

    You appear to have used transparency in shadows, reflections or direct transparency.
    Unfortunately by default OSX renders transparency in pdfs at 72 dpi which is too low for almost any form of printing let alone a large banner.
    There are methods to get around this, but I suggest that since banners are relatively simple you would be better off creating it in another application where you can control the resolution.
    You really only need to work on the problem areas and combine them with any text or vector graphics.
    The difficulty will always be the step in taking it to pdf. You could try fooling OSX by creating it at a scale that gives you the effective resolution when reduced to the actual scale.

  • When I convert a Pages document to pdf black stripes appear on two of the images, how do I get rid of them?

    I've made a catalogue in Pages, but when I convert it to pdf two black horizontal dotted stripes appear on two of the images.
    The images are two rectangular figures I've put in filled with solid blue color. They're not there in the Pages, only when converting to pdf.
    How do I get rid of the stripes? I need to use the catalogue in pdf format to send out, but the stripes are very visible whatever I do.

    The solid blue figures are they just rectangular shapes with the color specified in the Color Picker?
    Or did you fill them with an image?
