Pages '09 won't export a readable pdf

Hello dear Pages People!
I'm using Pages '09 to edit a document created on Pages for iPad. It looks fine on the screen of my Mac, but when I export as pdf the pdf file is very small (4 kb) and blank.
Can you help please?
Thanks,
Jawn

May you send the document to my mailbox so that I may study it ?

  • Lightroom 4.4 won't export books as PDF or to blurb.  No error messages at all.

    Window 7 SP1, 64 bit
    Lightroom  4.4
    I made a 178 page book I'd like to buy but when I press the 'send to blurb' button or the 'export as pdf' button nothing happens.  No pop up screens, no error messages, no progress bars, nothing.
    I mad a sample empty book and it gets the right blurb stuff to pop up so it must have to do with the files or the overall size of the book.
    I also did a duplicate book of the one I want and tried that but it failed in the same was as the original.
    Looking at my windows task manager doesn't indicate the lightroom is rendering anything so I don't believe it's doing anything.

    I took this advice found within this thread: Issues when uploading book to Blurb from Lightroom 5
    Select Apply Background Globally - turn it off and on several times, then leave it off
    Select GRAPHIC - turn it off and then turn it on and off several times
    Select BACKGROUND COLOR - turn it on then off then on then off
    I did this to the first 10 pages or so and now I got the blurb popup and it appears to be rendering and uploading.

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.

    Barry

  • Export as Separate PDF Pages with Unique Names

    I have an InDesign document that has several pages. I want to export each page as a seperate PDF, but they have to have a unique name that I want to be able to specify.
    For example, I want to export page 1 as "calendar page 2014"
    Page 2 as "Diary page 2014" etc.
    I found some solutions, but they aren't quite what I need:
    Export as Seperate pages with image name
    This apple script takes the name of the first image on the document and uses that as the name.
    However, my document has no images.
    Exportools
    A paid tool that offers many options for exporting. However, the name has to be based on a pattern, which is no good for me.
    I'm hoping that there will be a script that can take the name from a non-printing area/layer. That way, I can just put the desired name on the page and it will export with that name each time.

    have you looked at the extention Autosplit PRO?  This may be what you are looking for.  (Although, I don't think this software is compatable with MAC...but if you find out otherwise, please advise!)
    good luck..

  • Pages docs no longer open when I've exported them as pdfs

    Here's a bizarre one...
    We create our invoices in Pages, export them to pdfs then e-mail them to clients. Usually, the previous month's Pages doc provides the template for the next. But now I can't open many (not all...) of the old Pages docs that I've exported as .pdfs.
    Anyone have any idea why it's happening?
    Thanks!

    Can you provide a copy of the template so we can see whats going on

  • Hyperlinks are dead when Pages file is exported as a PDF

    When I export a file from Pages '09, version 4.0.5, to a PDF file, the hyperlinks do not work. The Pages help menu states "Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks." I am opening the PDF files in Acrobat Reader. What is the problem here?

    I discovered the problem. Being new to Pages, I did not realize that the text layer had to be in front of the transparent shapes that I was using as backgrounds, in order for the links to be clickable in a pdf file.
    For sure, putting background objects *_at front_* is not a good idea

  • Pages 5.1 not exporting to pdf properly

    When I export or print my pages document as a pdf, some text is missing in the resulting pdf.
    Is there a way to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Rapolas

    Yes, it does.
    I have a few sentences within a single cell, and half of the second sentence is missing.
    In Pages 5.1, the document looks like this:
    Whereas the exported or printed pdf is:
    The only acceptable workaround I could find was to export to pages 09 format, open it with pages 4.3 and export as pdf. That one looks just the way it is supposed to. But it is not a solution.
    The worst thing is that you cannot spot the defect at a glance. Neither can I trust the export as pdf function.

  • Why are some of my pages blank when I export to PDF from InDesign?

    I have a fairly large InDesign book that I've been trying to export to PDF unsuccessfully. There are lots of images and te
    xt in the book and half export fine and the other half don't. When I export the files individually, they export fine. Any advice why the book won't export correctly?

    I wouldn't expect either conversion or working froma server to affect the export (though working with your ID files directly on the sever is a bad practice -- big potential for disaster due to a network error causing unrecoverable file damage).
    First, do a "Save as" to remnove any unneeded old undo inofrmation from the file and reduce its size, then copy it to your local machine and try to export. If you still have a problem, try emptying your temp folders.

  • InDesign CS5 won't export to PDF

    I've been having a problem recently when exporting to PDF in InDesign CS5.  I get an error message which says:

  • Is there a page size limit when exporting a pdf from InDesign?

    My indd file is 201x40 inches with a 1.5 inch slug. When I export to pdf I get this message, "The document page size exceeds the page size range supported in PDF files. Exported pages will be resized to fit within PDF limits."

    Although the PDF spec mentions that it's feasible to create a PDF as large as 15,000,000 inches in either direction, 200 x 200 inches is Distiller’s limit for PostScript. It’s based on the Windows printer driver limitation.
    If I read the quote below correctly, the maximum page size is 15 million inches (381 km).
    "This is from the PDF Reference 1.6:
    177. In PDF versions earlier than PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit is fixed at 172 inch. In Acrobat viewers earlier than version 4.0, the minimum allowed page size is 72 by 72 units in default user space (1 by 1 inch); the maximum is 3240 by 3240 units (45 by 45 inches). In Acrobat versions 5.0 and later, the minimum allowed page size is 3 by 3 units (approximately 0.04 by 0.04 inch); the maximum is 14,400 by 14,400 units (200 by 200 inches).
    Beginning with PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit may be set with the UserUnit entry of the page dictionary. Acrobat 7.0 supports a maximum UserUnit value of 75,000, which gives a maximum page dimension of 15,000,000 inches (14,400 * 75,000 * 172). The minimum UserUnit value is 1.0 (the default)."

  • Pages from iPad - Export issues with pdf, word

    issues when exporting documents out of Pages from iPad using pdf, and getting... "Cannot extract the embedded font 'VZEENN+Georgia-Bold'. Some characters may not display or print correctly". I have 10.5.8 and Adobe latest version 9.4... I have also tried different and more universal fonts on Pages like Arial or Helvetica with no success... Really frustrating to have so critical bugs. Any work arounds from anyone? Thanks!

    Yes, you can send the file as an email attachment to yourself and open it on a computer and print.
    You can use DropBox to place the files on the computer to print
    These are easiest if the file is saved (exported) as a PDF file so it is portable.
    You can also use an AirPrint enabled printer and print directly from the iPad without going through the computer.  But buying another printer is much more expensive than the cost ($20) of Pages for the MBP.
    If you already have a wireless printer, you can try the website for the manufacturer and see if there is an upgrade for the printer to enable it for AirPrint.

  • Setting default export quality for PDFs in Pages 5.0

    Hi,
    Anyone know if it is possible to set a default export quality for PDFs in Pages 5.0.  Even if it remembered the last used setting that would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    OK,  I have managed to get higher quality images from the PDF renderer. Here is what I have found:
    1) The PDF renderer in Reporting Services 2005 will size all images that it is given at 96 DPI no matter what DPI the image is when you pass it to the renderer. That means that a 300 DPI image or even a 600 DPI image will be sized in the PDF as if it is only 96 DPI. That means your high DPI image will render much larger than you expect.
    So you might expect a 300 DPI image that is 6.5 inches wide to render properly at 1950 pixels. Yet, the PDF renderer will size it as it were 96 DPI which would make the image 20.3 inches long!
    2) There is good news though. Despite sizing the images as if they were 96 DPI, the PDF renderer appears to render higher DPI images at a higher quality than 96 DPI. So despite the sizing being wrong, the image actually is rendering at a higher quality.
    This means that you should size the image to the proper number of inches based on 96 DPI calculations. Then you can use Bitmap.SetResolution to set your images to at least 300 DPI.  That should give you a higher quality image that is the proper number of pixels to fit properly in your report.
    I am able to do all of this sizing dynamically because I am using objects as my data sources, but I am sure there are VB functions you could use in the report itself to accomplish the same task.
    It is late, and I've been at this project all day long, so forgive me if I have explained anything poorly or gotten any concepts long. Yet, at this late hour, I believe this is what the renderer is doing.
    I hope this helps someone else in the future, or at least points them in the right direction.

  • InD suddenly won't export to pdf

    I've been exporting files to pdf all day to send to my printer, and suddenly InDesign won't export anymore. Pop ups open as usual, but nothing happens.Grrrrrrr!!

    Are you patched to 7.0.4?
    Is the export hanging in the background, or is a file  supposedly created, but non-exisitent? Have you opened the Background Tasks panel to see if the task is completing?
    Can you export in the foreground by putting the file in a Book?

  • Pages won't export to Word

    Running latest Pages in latest Lion on a new iMac. When I try to export to Word, I get an error message: "The file format is invalid."
    A Word doc IS actually created, but it has all Comments stripped out...making it utterly useless to me. I've tried uninstalling iWork 09, restarting the iMac, then reinstalling (and re-upgrading) iWork 09 from the original disc, but no love -- it just won't export a Word file with Comments.
    Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks!
    Barry

    Well, I tried export to Word before saving the document in Pages. It worked fine! I didn't finalize the changes in any way. I could open the .doc document and it still showed the changes and comment field.
    I think something is corrupt in your document. You could select the content and paste into a new blank template and save it and then export to a Word document. Then undo all changes in the original document to the point you started the changes and copy and paste  into a new document and give it a different name. Now you have a before and after the changes and hopefully the  corruption didn't get copied over.

  • Page Number Error when export to PDF

    I am getting an error on page numbers for a book file when I export to PDF. The page numbers are set in the master pages and when I export each chapter individually the page number show fine. When I export the entire book, then some of the page numbers repeat. The pages are the right pages, but the numbers change incorrectly. For instance, the sequence goes, 58, 59, 58, 61 and 72, 73, 72, 73, 76.
    I've updated to the latest InDesign (7.5.2) and have tried multiple PDF export options (High Print, Press, PDF/X, etc) and nothing fixes it.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

    This is a known (and fairly catastrophic) problem in CS5.5.
    Some people have found exporting the individual INDD files to IDML, resaving them as INDD files (don't overwrite your originals!! Make a backup first!), and recreating the book works...for a while.
    You could revert to CS5.0 if you have a license for it.
    CS6 is on the horizon and should fix this bug.
    Hopefully there'll be a CS5.5 maintenance update to do so as well.
    Sorry I don't have a better suggestion.
