Pages file on a Windows PC (crap)

Hi Everyone--
Here's my situation. I have a Mini at home which I adore and use for pretty much everything. I am out of town this weekend and I am traveling with my office ThinkPad.
I had saved a file that I've been working on (in Pages) to a usb drive and forgotten completely to convert it to something PC-friendly. Unfortunately, I really need to find a way to open this file today, or get started recreating it.
Is there any way to convert a pages file to something that a PC can read USING a PC? Or else is there a viewer that I could use to open it? It isn't critical that I be able to edit it, I just need to be able to read over the information.
Any advice would be very much appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!

There's no way to get formatted text out of a Pages document without using Pages. There's also no easy way to get the unformatted text out of a Pages document, although that is at least in principle doable.
To access the text, you need to open the document "package", the collection of files that make up the document, and find the "index.xml.gz" file. This is the XML file that contains the text and formatting information, compressed in .gz format. You should be able to uncompress it using most ZIP uncompressors. Once uncompressed, it is now just an XML text file, which means that your raw text is now readable, but it is embedded in all the XML tags. You should be able to open the XML file up in any text editor, and the document text will be towards the bottom of the file.
Alternatively, you can try opening the file in a web browser -- depending on how it parses tags, it will either ignore them completely, and only show you text (which is what Safari does), or it will display the tags as if they were text, but in a formatted fashion which is easier to read than in a text editor (what Internet Explorer on the Mac does). Either way, you can dig the text out, but it ain't pretty.

Opening Pages Files on a Windows Machine

I've searched around and can't seem to find if this is addressed.
I'm looking into getting a netbook in addition to my Macbook. I currently do all of my work in Pages, and save files as Pages files. I'd like to be able to use a program like Dropbox and work on my files from either computer.
Is there any way in a Windows Machine to open up files that are saved as Pages format, or is the only option to save them as a doc? I can save from now on as a doc, but everything that I've done for the past several years are all saved as pages. I'm hoping to not have to go through and convert them all if possible.
Any suggestions? thanks for your help

Short of turning your NetBook into a Hackintosh (not recommended) the answer is no.
You must save them as a Word .doc, or .rtf or .pdf file.

Need advice on Page file settings in Windows 7 x64

Hi Guys
I just opgraded my main CS6 rig to a total of 32 GB RAM. This means, that the system has added allocated space for the page file on my system drive, a 128 GB Corsair Pro SSD disc, and I therefor only have 23 GB free.
I was wondering if I could put some or all of it on another, 240 GB SSD I have in my system that I use for PPRO previews, media cache etc. or I should simply upgrade my system drive to the 240 GB version?
I have 2 600 GB WD Raptor 10K rpm drives too, one for media and one for render, could maybe put it there too?
I am a bid unsure how to do this rigth, so any advice would be appreciated
Thanks in advance.
Ulf

....I am sure soon you will hear from others on this forum more knowledgeable than me....but, from what I've read hear before, to produce the fastest performance with your current equipment would be to keep your OS and programs only on your current "C" drive. Assuming these SSDs are SATA III for best performance, you would then place a static pagefile at least 1.5x your installed system memory,(at least 48 GB), on the 240GB SSD, along with the previews, cache, and media cache files.
    No need to worry about any "SSD reliability" issues on that drive, as all those files can easily be re-created.
    Then , for fastest performance, you would create a 2 disk onboard RAID 0 with the two Raptors to place your media on for fastest editing performance. However, you must use an additional disk as the primary location of your important, original media files.....then, you would copy those onto the RAID for editing speed.
   Then, you may either : export to the 240GB SSD for faster export.....then copy those to that new additional 7200 RPM you must buy,or, just export to that new drive directly,( may take a little longer).
   Newer Marvell controlled, ( not Sandforce), SSDs are supposedly able to handle "incompressible data", (like digital video files), well, without slowing down during writes. Storage Review and other sites have tested these.....Plextor and Corsair Pro series SSDs look to be the best,but, expensive. I have NOT had any trouble so far with my SATA II Corsair F120 SSDs....at the time, 2 years ago, that drive was rated as having read and write speeds of over 200MB/sec. My tests showed that to be true. A large,cheap Marvell controlled SSD is the Crucial M4,( just issued new firmware)......it was as low as $339 for a 512GB recently.
    In general, you will hear criticism here on using SSDs for video editing. Without using a huge RAID array and expensive controller card....the standard recommendation for a system like yours is to have a five drive setup.....plus backup. One drive for OS and programs, plus two -2 drive onboard RAID 0 arrays.
    Use of a single 7200rpm disk,( at 100-130MB/sec.) can slow you while editing.....hence the fast RAID arrays. Speed of OS drive is not that critical, once the program is up and running....it is your "project" disk speed that is important.
   Once re-configured, you should visit the PPBM5 website, and see how your rig does with the benchmark test compared to other setups.

Windows Server 2012 - Page File Recommendations

I need to know Microsoft's recommendations for the page file settings in Windows Server 2012. In previous versions of windows it has been calculated at 1.5 x RAM but i cant find any recommendations when it comes to Server 2012.

The rules/practices for setting page files on virtual memory systems has remained the same for years and years. What has changed is the cost to implement a solution. As noted earlier, the old method of calculation was built on the fact
that memory was an expensive commodity when compared to the cost of the disk. Even back then, when memory was so expensive, the best solution was still to add memory. But, people wanted to implement a less costly solution. Microsoft published
an article for Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 64-bit. Nothing in the process of determining the optimal page file has changed, but the cost of the solution has changed. Therefore, you can follow the instructions in this Microsoft support article
- http://support.microsoft.com/?id=889654 - to determine the appropriate page file size. If you want to really learn about what is going on, read
http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2008/11/17/3155406.aspx. I think you should be able to trust Mark Russinovich' word.
Today, for servers with 64 GB of RAM, I generally set up a page file of 2-4GB. On a server with 256 GB of RAM, I set up a page file of 2-4 GB of RAM. This is because Microsoft also included new capabilities in what is captured, allowing you to
capture just the most important stuff that is in memory when the system crashes instead of all memory. Windows operates most efficiently if it has a page file. The thing is that if you have enough memory on your system to run the load you are putting
on it, the primary purpose of sizing the page file comes down to determining how much of the memory you want to capture should the system crash. If I am running something like Hyper-V, and I have 256 GB of memory, almost all that memory is allocated
to VMs. That means that the contents of that memory is totally useless to find the root cause of a crash. That information is most likely going to be found in the first 512 MB of memory. Switch to a different application like SQL. In
the case of SQL, again, the operating system is taking up the first part of memory and SQL is generally using the rest of memory as cache. What is in cache is of little or no interest to determine why the system crashed, so why build a page file to capture
it?

High Page Reads/Sec on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit running on VMware but very low Real Memory & Page file Usage.

Hello All,
Below is the server configuration,
OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 Bit
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
CPU: 4 (@ 2.93 GHz, 1 core)
Memory: 12 GB
Page file: 12 GB
1. The actual utilization, be it a 15 minute sample, hourly, weekly etc, the utilization of real memory has never crossed 20% and the page file usage is at 0.1%. For some reason, the Pages/Sec>Limit% counter reports 100% continuously regardless of the
sampling intervals. Upon further observation, the Page Reads/Sec value is somewhere between 150~450 and Page Input/Sec is somewhere between 800~8000. Does this indicate a performance bottleneck? (I've in the interim asked the Users, App. Owners to see if they
notice any performance degradation and awaiting response). If this indicates a performance issue, please could someone help list down how to track this down further to which process/memory mapped file is causing it? and what I should go about performing to
fix this problem please?
p.s., initially the Security logs were full on this server and since page file is tied to Application, Security and System logs, this was freed up to see if this is causing the high page reads but this doesn't.
2. If the above does not necessarily indicate a performance problem, please can someone reference few KB articles that confirms this? Also, in this case, will there be any adverse effects if attempting to fine tune a server which is already running fine?
assuming App. Owners confirm there isn't any performance degradation.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on the description, we can try to download Server Performance Advisor (SPA) to help further analyze the performance of the server. SPA can generate comprehensive diagnostic reports and charts and provides recommendations to help you quickly analyze

I just attached a pages file and email to gmail account and try open in windows but i cant open it it is in jpg format and pdf how can i open it in windows as well

i emailed a pages file through gmail which cant be opened in windows computer why

Because a Windows computer doesn't have Pages or anything to convert it.
Export the file from Pages into whatever format would be appropriate for your windows users (PDF, possibly Word if they have that program). Then, send that file instead.

Consumption of a lot of page file space with Solution Manager over windows

HI guys,
I have installed Solution Manager 4.0 SP10 over Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition. The server has 4 Gb of RAM and 10Gb of page file.
Before to start Solution Manager the memory used is 500Mb and the used page file is 1Gbytes, but when I start Solman, the memory used grow up to 3.8 Gbytes and the pagefile to 7Gbytes.
Is this behaviour normal?, should I need near to 8Gb to run SolMan in memory?
does someone experience or tips regarding this is issue?
Thanks in advance for your comments guys!!!!
Regards Carlos Pozo.

Hi Ragu,
All SAP guides talk about aprox. 10Gb in Win and aprox. 20Gb (max.) in Unix.
You are right (also....;-) ), but my question is regarding the consumption of this page file, for example, we have XI 3.0 installed in AIX (ABAP+JAVA like Solman), and we have 8 Gbytes of RAM installed, in scenario we have in average 1.5Gbytes of free memory and not swap space used, that means in average XI use 6,5 Gbytes of memory (including DB instance, oracle 9.2), with at least 15 users connected, in contrast Solman has only one user connected and only 6 dialog wp and use almost 10Gbytes (adding RAM and SWAP space).
Is normal that Solman 4.0 need so much memory to run?
Do you know some way to decrease the swap consumption?.....
I know, I know.......I'm asking almost for magic solutions......

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

But I need the pdf file to be opened in new tab page or in new window.
Is it possible?

Batch convert Pages files to Doc and stay in the same folder?

Hi there,
I use iWork '09 on Mountain Lion. I recently switched to Microsoft Word and prefer it over Pages (personal preference). However, I have nearly 1000 files on my computer that are in Pages format. I have extensively searched this issue in the Apple Support Communities and it appears that there are scripts that DO EXIST that batch convert Pages files into Word files. However, it appears that many of these scripts were built for older versions of iWork and therefore I run into various errors. For example, I used the script available at http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2008/01/export-folder-to-word-rtf-pdf-txt-or.html and click run but nothing actually happens (the script runs for less than a second, then I can click run again). I was able to use one script successfully (pasted below), but the only reason I can't use it is because it saves ALL my converted documents in one folder on my desktop and I would like a script that can save them in the original file were the Pages document is located.
So, is there an iWork '09 compatible script that can convert my Pages documents to Word documents and save them in the same folder as the original? Oh, and for an added bonus, it'd be cool if the script also deleted my Pages version after it was done with the conversion

Batch convert Pages files to doc and pdf.

I received pictures in a dozen emails and saved each picture into one file in .pages. I did not import the photos before doing this and now iPhoto won't recognize the pictures because they are in a .pages file. How do I get the pics to iPhoto?

I received a dozen pictures in a few emails and I saved them all into one file in pages. I just copied and pasted. I do not have the originals any longer. Iphoto will not permit me to import the pictures as it does not recognize a .pages file, nor can I simply click and drag from the pages document to iphoto nor from pages to the desktop to iphoto. How can I save each picture I guess back into a jpeg and then import them into iphoto or have i lost them to a pages document forever? This is urgent as I need the pictures made into a book on iphoto for work by Friday!!! Please advise! Thank you.

Greetings,
Locate the Pages document wherever it's located on your computer and click once on it to highlight it.
Go to File > Duplicate to make a backup copy of the file.
Click once again on the file to highlight it.
Go to File > Get Info
In the "Name & Extension" category remove the ".pages" extension and put in ".zip".
Close the info window and double-click the now renamed pages file (zip file now).It will decompress into a folder which contains all the base components including all the images you added. These can be dragged onto the iPhoto icon to import them.
Hope that helps.

How can I transfer "Pages" files from my IPad to my Mac?

How can I transfer "Pages " files from my IPad to my IMac, I cannot use ICloud because I have Mountain Lion installed on the IMac?

Actually, you can use iCloud and the way that you so it is to log into iCloud.com on the Mac (use Safari for best results) click on the Pages icon and then drag the Pages files into the browser window. It works the other way around as well. Log into iCloud.com on the Mac and download the files from Pages (that you created on the iPad) in iCloud onto your Mac. You can click on the file in the documents window and select it to Download by clicking on the Gear icon or right click upon the file and select download.
The files will then sync to the Pages app on the iPad - assuming hat you have use iCloud tuned on in Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. I have an iMac running Tiger 10.4.11 that I can still move Pages/Word files back and forth Iike this.
Also, File Sharing with iTunes is a great way to move the files back and forth.

Problem opening excel file in new window

Hi,
I have a JSF application that sends an Excel file back to the user.
My backing bean has a method that uses POI to generate the excel file and then write it to the servlet response.
This works fine if I call the method from a command button, but this displays the file in the current browser window, whereas I want to open the file in a new window.
I added an onclick javascript call to a command button which does a window.open() to open a jsp in a new window. The jsp contains an empty view, as I'm using an on-load phase listener to make the call to my backing bean method which should send the excel file when the file opens.
However, when the window opens, I get an IE error message saying 'Could not open xxx.faces', and then an excel error message saying 'Could not open xxx.xls. This may be because the file does not exist, or the file is already open etc etc'
However, I found that if the popup window goes through a servlet (which just forwards to the jsp page) instead of going to the jsp directly, it works like a charm.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this would be very much appreciated. If I can't fix it I'll just stick with the servlet approach, although it just seems a bit messy.
(I'm using IE6 SP2, tomcat 5.5 btw)
Cheers,
Stuart

I'm doing a similar thing, but I use commandLink to lauch the window. CommandLink has the "target" attribute that I set to _blank. As you would expect, that opens up the page in the new window.
