Problems with Pages 5 docs converting to Word docs

It seems with the new upgrade on my MacBook Air, I have a glitch. Now when I convert a Pages doc to Word, the page breaks get removed and the doc turns into a sea. Also, I sent this new Word doc to my Kindle to upload into ebook form (never had a problem with Pages 09 previously, always came out beautifully) and now the doc turns into a digitally mangled mess. Any ideas?? Thank you.

Usually when it does that it is because there is an XML table somewhere buried in there and either the table width or margin indents are forcing the text far left.
Hard to pin down the problem with being able to examine the actual file contents.
…and Pages 5 is buggy.
So why don't you just use Pages '09? It works.

Problems with saving pdf as a word doc

hello, i
recently upgraded to acrobt x pro, and i went to convert a one-page pdf into a word doc. i went to "file,"
"save as," "word document, and when i went to view
the word doc, the format/layout/font, etc. was completely garbled. what could i be doing wrong? thanks!

Your problem is likely with the PDF not having the tags that provide the format information you are expecting. Such information is not needed for the PDF, but is used for the conversion back to WORD. You could try converting a file from DOC to PDF and back to DOC with both a print to the Adobe PDF printer and PDF Maker to get the format info. See how they compare and you should get the idea.

Converting Word to pdf. Problem with page breaks

I have Office 2007 and I am trying to convert a 100 page word document into pdf. However, the pages are breaking different and I end up with more pages in the pdf document which causes problems with my table of contents and index. Any advice on how to convert the Word doc exactly into pdf? Thanks

Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

How do i convert a multi page pdf to a word doc w the same number of pages?

My file started in Adobe Illustrator. It has several pages of text. I converted to a pdf. When I tried to convert to Word with Export PDF, all the pages ended up on a single page, instead of a Word doc with the same number of pages. What do i do to get a pdf of 7 pages to convert to a 7-page Word doc?

Word page layouts are fixed like PDFs. Just add page breaks as needed. But don't expect any kind of good result. If Word could do fancy layout, we wouldn't need Illustrator.

I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached. Now the email does not come up. Why?

It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:
Pages
When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.

I have two pdf docs that I used Acrobat to convert to word docs. How do I extract one page from one doc to insert into the other doc?

I have two pdf docs that I converted to Word Docs using Acrobat Pro. How do I extract one page from the first doc and insert it into the second doc? When I "select all" it grabs the entire document. I need to take pages out, put other pages in, and edit some of the text.

HI djlarp,
Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
Best,
Sara

Export problems with pages/ save as word document results in corrupted text

This may be a new problem with Pages as I have not seen this happen with previous versions but, when I export a page made with a template, it ends up with merge problems - headers end up at the foot and invisible text regarding merge showing. When saved, a error box opens saying that merge fields are not save or similar, and I end up with a non friendly .doc file.

Page number problem with document imported from MS Word.

I am a new Mac/Pages user and imported a Word document to use as a template to help me learn the Pages formatting nuances. This has worked well except for one problem. I have page numbers in the footer, but only the first digit of the page number shows up, i.e. 7,8,9,1,1...etc. I can't find a way to edit or delete the page number imported from Word. I can easily insert the page numbers through Pages but can't get rid of the imported pages numbers. Also, how do I prevent page 1 from receiving a page number?

Hi,
Others have reported difficulty removing page numbers from imported Word docs. I think it can be done, but it may not be worth the effort to repair the imported document when you can easily Select All and Copy the entire document and Paste it into a fresh Pages blank document without the improperly formatted, persistent Word page numbering.

Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc. to PDF in Words (there is no response)

Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc to PDF in Words (Does not respond) or Create PDF from a Word doc. in Adobe Acrobat X Standard 10.1.1 with all updates installed. I receive apop-up saying "Missing PDF Maker Files: Dou you want to run the installer in Repair Mode" I have done this several times. I have un-installrd and re installed the program twice. Still does not work. I'm running Windows 7 Home version and Microsoft Office XP 2002. This is a brabd new Acrobat program right out of the box. Suggestions Please.

In WORD 2002, I believe you can only print to the Adobe PDF printer. I think that WORD 2003 is the first compatible with AA X. Check out http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html.

Easiest way if you have Word installed: from Word's File menu, do "Save as..." and you will find a pdf option in the "Format" pull-down:
The example is from Office:Mac 2008; should be similar in Office 2011.
