Trying to open PDF file in pages

I've followed all the directions and tried several methods to get a PDF document from my pc to the iPad. From an email I should have the option to open the attached PDF with Pages, but I cannot do this. I touch the attached PDF file, and it just opens. I also tried connecting the iPad to the pc and manually transfer the PDF with iTunes. It seems to show the selected files in iTunes, but when I start Pages and try to open a file, the files I "transferred" are greyed out, and don't open.
I'd appreciate any help with this.

I never said it did. I was talking only to how you make the menu appear.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
    Use this link to download it automatically:

  • How do I stop Adobe trying to open pdf files?

    I have removed Adobe from my Mac, but it is still trying to open pdf files, both in Safari and in Mail. I've removed all of the files using CleanMyMac, so there is nothing left of it.
    How can I change the default back to Evernote, or just view pdf in Safari?

    Unfortunately, I can't do that as the file I want is coming up with this message: "Please wait...if this message is not replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
    You can upgrade or get the latest version of Adobe Reader...etc etc"
    I'm also getting this on my Windows XP Computer even when I have Reader installed.
    I have already deleted all internet plug ins relating to Adobe in my Library.

  • I am getting a Eula error trying to open PDF file, not allowing me to open...what should I do?

    I have tried reinstalling software and didn't work. 
    How do I fix this eula error and open up PDF files again?

    I think I fixed it using help from another post...agreeing to license agreement in program files eula.exe
    I think Eula is a licensing agreement term (not quite sure because I just heard of it when error happened). 

  • How do you open .pdf file in pages???

    This seems like something very easy to do, but I can't get it to work.  How do I save a .pdf file from a disk into .pages, so I can work on it and make changes? I can save it in pages, but then it won't open in .pages.  it seems like it should be so easy.  About to break down and buy microsoft word and excel for the mac.

    I have this http://www.smilesoftware.com/PDFpen/index.html but it does cost $60 (got it for $20 on some special years ago). There is a free trial if you only need to get out of a short term problem. And I think there are free alternatives but don't know. BTW, I have no connection to PDFpen.

  • Grey screen on safari when trying to open pdf files

    Yesterday I was reading a pdf file in my safari 3.0.4 web browser when safari froze unexpectedly and crashed. When I re-opened safari, I am now no longer able to view pdf files in the browser or at all. It opens up, starts loading and stays at a grey screen. I'm using adobe reader 7.0 and I've never had problems before but this is really frustrating to not be able to open up pdfs anymore!
    Also, I downloaded firefox to see if it would work on there and it works to download and view pdfs but I can't seem to view pdf files directly in the firefox browser without downloading them to the desktop. What should I do?

    You're welcome Joanne. Glad to hear all is functioning in the PDF realm.
    When you get a chance, click on "My Settings" on the right side of the screen. There, you can change your tag to reflect the latest version of your OS. As you are using Safari 3.0.4, it would be either Tiger's 10.4.11 or Leopard's 10.5.1.

  • Is it possible to open pdf files in pages

    Is it possible to open and edit PDF's in Pages?

    Mactioner explained how you may insert a PDF in a Pages document but this will not allow you to edit it.
    You will just be able to insert text boxes whose contents will replace the piece of text which they hide.
    When I worked as an engineer, this kind of job was made with paper, scissors and glue.
    So, from my point of view,  the described trickery is a huge progress.
    Sometimes it may be sufficient (if new text is shorter than original one).

  • Opening PDF Files in Adobe Reader XI directly from SharePoint 2013 Site

    I am trying to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI directly from a SharePoint 2013 document library using Internet Explorer 11. When I click the file name it immediately opens the file in Adobe Reader, however it is downloading and opening the file locally
    from the Temporary Internet Files location. If I add a comment to the PDF file, and save it will perform a Save As and the location will default to the temporary folder.
    If instead of clicking the file name, I click the ellipses in SharePoint, copy the file URL, and go to Adobe Reader, click File > Open and paste the link into the file name, Adobe Reader will correctly open the file directly from the SharePoint site and
    prompt for "Open and Checkout, Open, or Cancel".
    Is there a way to get it so that when I click the file in IE, I get the same functionality as a File > Open in Adobe Reader?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to open pdf file in the Adobe Reader directly from document library.
    I suggest you do as the followings:
    1. In SharePoint Central Administration site, click Application Management->Manage Web Applications, select the web application for the site. Click Authentication
    Providers, select default zone, and select Yes for "Enable Client Integration?".
    2. click Site Settings-> Site collection features->"Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" click Activate
    3. set the default open behavior for a document library by using the document library settings page.
    4. Enable the “Adobe Arcobat SharePoint OpenDocuments Component”add-on in the IE11.
    5. Add your current site URL to the trusted web sites in IE11.

  • Unable to open PDF files from website

    hi friends,
    I am using iPad Air and iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to open PDF files from below site in safari,

    ftp://ftp.iar.se/WWWfiles/vs/QuickStartTutorial.pdf
    it shows error as "Safari can not open the page because it could not load any data".

    Safari seems to have trouble with FTP sites.  You may need another Browser to open these PDFs.  Opera seems to Work.
