Pages to EPS (to save ligatures)

I'm having problems getting my Pages output to PDF to stay clean all the way to the print shop. The problem is I'm losing my extended Mac characters (like ligatures en and em dashes). I'm pretty sure it's because my PDF from Pages (made into a nice booklet form with CocoaBooklet) goes to a Windows Acrobat to be saved as EPS pages before sending to a Mac again for dropping into Quark Express and printed. The extended characters are ending up as blocks.
My quick solution would be to create the EPS pages on my Mac and skip the Windows conversion. Is there an inexpensive way to do this? I can't afford to lose print quality.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

After more testing, the problem is with Adobe Acrobat on both the PC and Mac platforms. I'm using HoeflerText (primarily) and the extended characters are showing up (at the print service) as boxes when printed through Acrobat (PC or Mac). I had the person print the same thing with Preview and it looked correct.
Now I'm not sure of they printer model or other details, but this seems very odd that Acrobat and Preview would both show this correct on the screen but only Preview gets the ligatures correct on the page printer. When I get more details, I'll post them. Does anyone have any experience with Acrobat causing issues like this?
For now, I just had them use Preview on the Mac to make their plates. Thanks for the responses.

I try to convert word 2011 document to a pages 09 document but save as only does 08

I have Pages 09 ver. 4.3 both on my iMac and on my iPad. I have my resume saved on my mac as a word 2011 docx but, when I try to convert it to pages in Save as... it only wants to save the document as a Pages 08 document and that will not work on my iPad mini!
I have know way to put this in my iPad Mini.
I need some help please.
This is critical to me as per I'm looking for work.

Bip,
The current version of Pages for your iPad is 1.7.2, I believe.
Word documents are converted to Pages documents not by Save as, but by Opening in Pages.
Pages 09 on your iMac Saves as Pages 09 by default, and can Save As... to Pages08 as an option.
I wish you well in your search for work.

I am creating a form, it shows 1 page, but when I save it as a PDF Form there are 2 pages, 1 is blank. How do I get rid of the blank page in the form?

Hi,
You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.
Thanks,

How do my boss and I share documents via iCloud? I log in as her to download a Pages doc, edit, then save to iCloud again but it does not save to hers. Even if I'm logged in as her.

Thanks in advance!

This only works if you add her account as your primary accoun on your device and enable syncing "Documents & Data" in "Settings >iCloud".

Do I need Pages in order to save my word document to the iCloud?

I am new to using iCloud and have been trying to save Word documents to the cloud. Even when the iCloud has been properly activated on my mac, when I try to save my document within Word, I do not get iCloud as an option in the dropdown menu for locations to save to. I wasn't sure if I need to purchase Pages in order to save Microsoft Word documents. That doesn't seem to make sense to me, but I'm not sure what else I might be doing incorrectly.

As long as you are using Mountain Lion (10.8.x) yes, you'll see this:
You will need 2 copies of Pages, one for your Mac and one for the iPad.

In Pages how do I save a file with another name

In Pages how do I save a file with another name?

I don't know if there is a less cumbersome way to do this (I'm still pretty new to Lion) but This is what I do - since "Save As" seems to be gone with Lion.
I create a duplicate document - then click the red button to close the document - and a dialog box pops up and asks if you want to save the changes - I change the name in there and then save the file under the new name.
You can also save the copy to the desktop - get info - and then change the name if the finder window.
I copied this from the Pages help area. These help instructions were created pre-Lion I'm sure.
Saving a Copy of a Document
If you want to make a copy of your document—to create a backup copy or multiple versions, for example—you can save the document using a different name or location. (You can also automate saving a backup version, as Automatically Saving a Backup Version of a Document describes.)
To save a copy of a document:
Choose File > Save As and specify a name and location.
The document with the new name remains open. To work with the previous version, choose File > Open Recent and choose the previous version from the submenu.

Pages has no auto save or document recovery? seriously?what century is this?

pages has no auto save or document recovery? seriously?

Are you reading carefully ?
LIon (OSX 10.7) embed an Autosave and a Versions feature at system level.
iWork components are using them.
The question and the given answer were dedicated to apps running under older systems.

Why should any user be expected to check for this? Most every Apple - heck most every modern product does it automatically.
It's perfectly odd to assume that an application deliver this or that feature.
It's perfectly wrong to write that "most every Apple - heck most every modern product does it automatically".
TextEdit did that but iLife apps didn't and I'm not sure that Apple's Pro apps were doing that before Lion.
More, some users are ranting in several threads against the Autosave and Versions features introduced by Lion.

Why does Pages ask me to save changes when I only open a file and print it?

I have documents that I open regularly but only want to print (and not make changes to). But, even if I open them and do nothing other than print them, Pages prompts me to save changes when I close the file. Why is this?
If I've had the document open for a while, I'm always concerned that maybe I've made changes that I want to save and forgotten.

But it always, always, always ignores it, fruhulda. That's what I'm saying. A brand new document on a brand new computer with a fresh install of iwork, and the same thing happens. Every time I open it and print--Do you want to Save? Do you want to Save?
For instance, I have a contract form I use regularly and I get that every.single.time even though I always use the same printer, and have hardly ever used the printer that pages has chosen as my default printer (a medium format inkjet with archival ink that costs far too much to use for things like correspondence). It is not my default printer in OS X, incidentally. No matter how many times I tell Pages to save the information about the printer, it will not. And I also get the same nag on the rare occasions when I do use the printer that pages has chosen (usually by mistake because I forgot to change it in the print dialog).
Perhaps this is a localization-specific bug and that's why you don't see it.
EDIT And most oddly, it happens just the same in lion with the current version of pages, which I would have thought should have autosaved that change without asking me about it.

Why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?

why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?
and can i specify a default save-as location?

The default save location is the one used to open the document.
The default save_to location is the last used one.
Both are stored in memory and written in the application's preferences file when we close it.
It's quite easy to change the defaults in the preferences file but we must do that before opening the app and if we use an other location once the app is open, we will lost the defined default location.
From my point of view, the best scheme is to use an Applescript to save.

Search page edit button missing save & close

On my Search Center page, When I click Edit Page, the button on ribbon is missing the Save & Close button.
Any ideas?

forgot to mention, there is this error that pops up when I hover over the Edit button:
"This control is currently disabled. You might not have the right permission level to use this, you might need to select an object or item, or the control might not work in this context."
I am a farm administration and site collection administrator so I know I have the permissions.
I am trying to edit the Search Center page, but since the "Save" option is missing, it won't save my changes.

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
Bob

Question

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

Large pages document won't save

I have a very large pages document - 400 pages, 1.4GB. I have been replacing all the images in the document with edited versions of them, perhaps making the document slightly larger. When I try to save the document it goes to the halfway mark, stays there for ages, and then says that pages cannot save the document. Is there a certain size document that pages simply won't save as I know I have enough space on my computer to store the file.

Well, Did you save it as Untitled? Where did you save it? On the HD or on iCloud? Is it just this untitled document or are you having problems with more Pages documents? what else haven't ypu told us?

Just select Print in Safari and then, in the bottom left-hand corner, select PDF and you can save it to whichever flavor pdf file you like.
