PDF resizing Pages doc by default

I've created a Pages doc that I need to export into a PDF. When I do this and open the PDF file, I see that it is resized to about 85% to 90% of the original size. There seems to be nothing I can do to make this not happen. I need the PDF to reflect the size of the original document.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Welcome to Apple Discussions
If you are using Pages 2/iWork '06, do you have comments turned on? That will enlarge the left margin when printed. Also, make sure you have the correct paper size selected in Page Setup… I find Preview is impossible to determine what the actual page size is, so, if I need to know that for sure, I open the PDF in Acrobat Reader. Every time, the PDF is the same as the original size in Pages.

MSOffice for Mac WORD docs defaulting to Pages docs

After installing OS X Mavericks, my MSOffice for Mac WORD docs are defaulting to Pages. Also have problem with pdf docs. Anyone have a solution to keep MS WORD as the default or docs saved as WORD docs? Solutions for the pdf problems?

I think you are right. It appears to be solved, but new issues have popped up constantly since I upgraded, so I'll see what tmr brings. Thanks for your help. Now I'll work on solving the issues with pdfs.

How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)?

How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)? When I do what Apple said and go to a Pages file in finder and select "get info" then select "Pages 4.3" and "change all" it just defaults to the new one even though I'd selected the old one. Do I need to completely uninstall the new version of Pages or is there another work around because the new version of Pages comes dreadfully short of the features I need that are included in the old one?

HOWEVER, if you modified a document in 5.0, 4.3 can't open it. You'll have to use Time Machine to replace the modified version with an earlier version that was last modified in 4.3.
Actually there is a workaround.
If you open the file in Pages 5, it can then be exported on Pages 0.9 format to another folder. I had to do this as the document was only in iCloud and couldn't be recoverd by Time Machine.
Worked for me!

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

How can I insert a Pages, Doc, or PDF file into a Keynote presentation?

I need to insert a document (.pages, .doc, or .pdf anyone) into a Keynote for a portfolio that I must present. How can I do this? It doesn't give me that option under hyperlink in inspector.

the best is to insert screenshot directly in keynote. If it's for a paper version save everything as pdf and compile with "combine pdf".

How does I resize a pdf file page using Acrobat Pro?

In Acrobat Pro, how can one resize a pdf file page (21.38'' x 26.75'') into one measuring 6'' x 9'', to be submitted as the trim size? Is there a feature that allows this to be done? How does one set all print options from the Application print dialog box to enable one to adjust the dimensions of any customized file page?

I want to scale the 21.4'' by 26.8'' content down to one that can be fitted inside a 6'' by 9'' book.
I have this pdf that was created from the InkFlow app, and I'm using Acrobat Pro to merge three files into one (about 300MB), which I needed to submit to Amazon's CreateSpace, but they needed the trim size of 6'' by 9'', while the pdf is 21.4''' by 26.8'', and I can't amend the source file size of the InkFlow files.
I tried fiddling with the Crop and Print options, but I'm unable to resize the pdf to match the trim size. The problem on my side isn't so much on printing but to resize the pdf file page to 6'' by 9'' to satisfy Amazon's requirement for their trim size. Could this be done with Acrobat Pro? The message that appears is: Full print options of Acrobat Pro, set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Thank for the help.

How do I convert a iWork 08 pages doc to a pdf or Word doc ?

I have an iWork 08 pages document that I wish to e-mail to a general dist. list. So I want to convert the doc to a pdf or Word file so the list can read it.
Must I purchase iWork 09 to do this by either;
1)   opening the 08 doc in iWork 09 pages, then converting to pdf ?
   2) or, opening the 08 doc in iWork 09 pages, then open the 09 converted pages doc in Office for Mac 2010, Word to produce a Word doc?
Thanks for any help.

Peter, Jerry:
Thanks for your elegant solutions.
I am going to buy iWork 09 for all our offices, and use iWork 09 because we can upload iWork 09 stuff from our iPads to iCloud and then downLoad the doc's to   different offices to complete the doc's and format them.
The existence of iCloud is going to cause us to abandon all our old Office software and standrize with iWork.
Only wish we could upload iWork 09 docs to iCloud from iMacs, but maybe that will be possible in the future.
Any way, bye, bye Word & Excel ...

How to print PDF few pages duplex but not all from one PDF Doc?

Hi,
We have a desktop application that we use and it gives instructions to printer which document to duplex and which to not. For easy understanding, in a PDF if there are 10 pages, i want to take first two pages whenever they are printed they go on duplex rest of 8 pages should print without duplex. I have a PDF of these 10 pages document and want to send via email to one, so that if he has duplex printer, he just send that PDF doc to printer and it automatically send first two pages duplexed then rest of 8 pages per paper. So finally he get 9 printed hard copies. My question is, is there any capability in PDF document we can apply per page that when go on printer it instructs to printer to duplex me or not. Like we have PDF properties associated with doc. Can we setup such property for each page? I know this is not a good question, but our business requies to send PDF to customers and we do save this to do ourself, How customer know which page to duplex then?
If there is any automated solution we can give to customers? The PDF each page take decision by its own when going on printer it says i have to go on back of the paper and the other says i won't have to be duplexed?

How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF to Word export.
There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.
Be well...

When converting multiple word and excel docs to a combined PDF random pages have blue background in the finalized PDF.

I have a user using Acrobat 10. It was installed two weeks ago and initially had no problems. Today she reported that when she tries to convert multiple word and excel docs by selecting them, and right clicking on them to select convert/combine to PDF, random pages in the finished PDF have a blue background. I did some searching online and can find no information about this problem. Can anyone here shed some light on this issue and maybe point me in the direction of a solution? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Gilad,
So, something I didn't consider was that this could be a setting in the office docs. The reason I didn't consider this was be cause we tested multiple docs and had similar results each time. I went back and looked into this possibility and found a setting in word that was causing this issue. Although the word doc showed no page color when opened in word, if I went to "Page Layout" -> "Page Color", a shade of blue was selected. By selecting "No Color", and then converting/combining the docs to PDF we got the desired result. Thanks again for your reply!

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.

How to Edit or PDF Multiple Page Tiles in CS2 doc while working in CS4?

I have to resave this file as CS2, so I need to be able to edit and PDF original Page Tiles from CS2, not convert to Artboards. There is no Edit Page tiles, only View Page Tiles. When I go to save as PDF, there is no "multiple pages" option under General as stated elsewhere, and it PDF's as one huge "artboard" even though there are multiple page "tiles". Thanks in advance!

If you want to save an editable Illustrator file for CS2 then you save as .ai not as .pdf.
You can still Show Print Tiling in the View menu. Use the Print dialogue to set up the paper size, orientation, and tiling options, then click Done.

How do I set Pages as the default to open docs?

Hello community of helpful people:
I am just starting out with a brand new MacBook and Pages and have thousands of documents in Word that I will be working with (eventually). When I open them (with double click) they open with the default program "TextEdit." The only way I can figure out how to open them is by right-clicking and selecting "Open with Pages." This is cumbersome. I know there must be a simple way to set the Pages as the default instead of TextEdit. Also, when I have saved a document (with a copy saved into Word), when I open the Pages document it, of course, opens in Pages. But if I open the word document that I just saved out of Pages, it opens in TextEdit.
Can someone share the secret with me for setting Pages as my default word processor?
Also, is there any advantage to opening in TextEdit? Why is this the default setting? These are less important questions, but I'm still interested.
Thanks!

Can someone share the secret with me for setting Pages as my default word processor?
Right-click one, choose Get Info, select Pages under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm this action.
Why is this the default setting?
TextEdit is present on a Mac OS X system unless manually deleted. Pages isn't bundled with the OS.

Help! How to e-mail a PDF (from Pages) with active web links!

I have been working on this for hours without any success! I would be so grateful for a brainy Apple wiz to help me out. I am creating a Pages document that has active web links in it. My goal is to e-mail my document with the active web links in it.
So - If I export my Pages doc as a PDF to my desktop, the links work great! However - the moment I put that PDF into an email and send it the links become inactive. Is there any way to create a Pages document with web links > Export it as a PDF > Then mail with active (clickable) links? I have tried many times without success.
If the answer to my question is no, does anyone have a tip for where I can create a PDF and mail it with active links? Will any of the Adobe programs work for this type of thing?
Thanks so much!!
Kristen

Using Pages '09 v4.2.
I just tested this. Assumption: You have the “Windows friendly attachments” checked in the attachments panel.
Your Pages document is open. The web links are active. You want to get it into Mail.
From the Pages menu bar, choose Share > Send Via Mail > PDF.
Mail will open with a compose window. Your PDF will be attached as a full view document. You see the links present in the PDF.
Now, click near the web links. This shows your PDF in blue. Now right-button click, and choose View as Icon from the pop-up panel.
Now mail it to yourself on another account that Mail can open.
You will see the web links in the PDF.
Right-button click on a link and from the pop-up menu, choose Open with Safari.
If you chose Quick Look, it would pop open the PDF and offer to open it further in your default PDF viewer. In my case, it is Adobe Reader.
If Reader opens this PDF from the Mail attachment, the web links remain active.
Does this solve your issue?
