Why can't I scan a document to pages so I can make changes?

Why can't I scan a document on my HP Printer to my MacBook Pro as a pages document?

Because scans are image files and not text files. You will need some sort of OCR software to convert the image to an editable document.

Why did I lose my old documents on Pages and Numbers? I didnt need a new version. Ive been printing out the same handouts for 8 years

Why did I lose my old documents on Pages and Numbers when I updated my computer. I didnt need a new version. I have been using the same hand outs for 8 years. Some I can see, some say you cant open unless you buy numbers.....again

The old version of iWork should still be on your computer.
Check in Applications (Command-Shift-A) for an iWork '09 folder.

HT202879 how can I open a Word document in Pages 09?

How can I open a Word document using Pages 09 please? I am trying to open Word documents from a CD using both trying to open in Pages, nd dragging and dropping into the Pages icon in the dock. It tells me, every time, thast the document cannot be opened.

What happens if you open it in TextEdit or LibreOffice [free]?
Does it open where you got it from?

Hi, I upgraded my girlfriend's iPad 2 using my iMac, however, her iPad was sync with her PC. Although I've made backup earlier, when I restore from backup the apps doesn't sync back, neither her documents on pages. How can I put then back to her iPad?

The backup saves many settings, but it copies photos and other files from the computer back to the iPad after IOS5 wipes the disk. Plugging it into her computer will re-sync it.

I have several very important school related documents on my iPad in the Pages app. Ever since i updated to iOS5, i can no longer open any documents in Pages that I made before I updated. Please help

Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer. Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents. Refer to figure below.
iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup. (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.) You will then be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad. This time, say "yes."
Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.

Pages 5 requires OSX 10.9, for some reason that only Apple knows. Many users will not be able to install Mavericks on their Macs or do not want to.
It has simultaneously removed iWork '09/Pages '09 from the App Store.
You could ask Apple why it does things like this, but it doesn't say.
If you don't already have iWork '09 I believe you can still purchase it from Amazon.

I have an iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.3 and when I use the landscape view in Safari, the bookmark page appears and takes up one half of the screen. How can I get rid of the bookmark page so I can have the whole screen to what I am browsing?

OOPS! Too quick on the trigger to ask that question without trying anything. Sorry. Solved it by touching the bookmark icon.

Why can't I scan a document to a PDF file on an L7650

I purchased an L7650 in 2008. It used to scan to PDF files. About 2 yrs ago it stopped allowing the PDF option. Why? I recently updated all the software through HP but the PDF scan option still is not available.

Hello Topcat,
Thanks for replying to me with that information, that helps! I have a few ideas in mind to try out.
1. Run the Print and Scan Doctor tool. This may correct the problem all on its own. If not, continue.
2. Uninstall the Printer Software
3. Restart the PC
4. Reinstall the printer here by downloading and running the installation - HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver
You can run the Print and Scan Doctor again if you wish, and can download the tool to your desktop and run it every time you have a printer issue.
Let me know the results, have a great Monday

Why can't I open html documents in Pages 3.0 but could in v2.0.2?

We used Pages v2.0.2 to open html exam documents to reformat the exams before sending to the printer. We recently upgraded to Pages 3.0 via iWorks '08, and we can no longer open html documents. Does anyone know if this is just an oversight in Pages 3.0 and will be fixed in future updates or has Apple intentionally abandoned html support in Pages?
We need to find a workable solution. We prepare exams for 1000s of students each semester.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Rick

Pages 3.0 (that is iWork '08) doesn't have an HTML entry in the CFBundleDocumentTypes of it's Info.plist file. Pages 1.x and 2.x both DO have an HTML entry in their Info.plist files. Thus Pages 3 won't open HTML while Pages 1 and 2 both will.
So the questions are:
Why did Apple remove HTML as a file type for Pages v3.0? Was it a mistake? Was it intentional? Will it come back in a quick update to Pages?
And then again for you Allan Eckert:
How are you able to open HTML documents in Pages v3.0? By rights, any ".html" file shouldn't be openable in Pages v3.

Why can't i email a document from pages since upgrading to yosemite

since upgrading to yosemite i cannot email a document from pages. the "send via email" won't highlight and nothing happens

The Send a Copy option is only in Pages v5.5.1 on Yosemite, and is accessible from the Share toolbar item on the document window. In your case, with Pages ’09 v4.3, as I mentioned, the Menu > Share > Send via Email items are inoperable with Yosemitie.
You workaround is to use the Menu > Share > Export > PDF… option, or the File > Export > PDF… option — and then drag/drop the PDF from disk onto your Mail message body after the content. Or, you can use the paper-clip icon in the Mail Compose toolbar to attach the PDF. The PDF will appear as a page in your email. Right-click (two-finger tap) on this image, and from the contextual menu — select icon view.
Yes, it subverts set behavior patterns. Apple isn't concerned with end-of-life application compatibility with future OS X versions.

How can I paste a pdf of a Publisher document into Pages so I can edit?

I have been asked to print a document that was created in Publisher on a PC. I have been sent a pdf of the document, which is A4, printed both sides, with four A6 text boxes on each side, with the same artwork and text in each box. The trouble is, the layout is wrong so when it is cut into four the margins are not even. I have Acrobat 7.0 Standard (which is know is very old) but I haven't used it much and can't work out how to edit the pdf. At the moment all I can do is copy and paste the entire document into Pages but then I can't extract just one A6 text box from the rest. If I could do that it would be a breeze to set it up correctly in Pages so that it works when cut into four A6 pieces. When I go to Get Info it says it is not locked and I have permission to read and write.
Can anyone explain these things to a beginner, please?
Thanks!

Chris
There are several ways we can go about this.
*1. In Adobe Illustrator* you can open the pdf file directly and chop out the bits you don't want and resave them individually. There maybe problems with fonts not being embedded as it comes from a PC where such things are mostly verbotten.
*2. In Acrobat* you can do some editing and avoid the fonts issue. But the procedure is a bit more involved.
If it helps, you need 2 things:
+Menu > Tools > Advanced Editing > Select Object Tool+ and
+Menu > Split Document… / Crop Pages…+
Using this you can unpick the pdf file removing the parts you don't want. Not as simple as it sounds because you need to understand why some objects select with others and why some are unselectable which has to do with grouping, masking and compounding.
*3. In Preview* cut apart the multiple pages and parts of each page. To split the multiple pages you will have to open the set and then delete the pages you don't want and save the remaining page with a new name.
To delete a page click on it in the sidebar and hit delete.
To crop a page use the +Select Tool+ in the top of the window and drag around the part of the page you want then +Menu > Tools > Crop+ and resave with a new name. Be aware this does not actually get rid of anything outside the select it just crops the view of it.
*4. Which brings us to Pages*. Having divided the pdf into individual page files you can then drag them into Shapes on your page the size of the parts you want to show.
When you click on the shape with page in it a little bar shows up underneath with +Edit Mask+. Click on the +Edit Mask+. You will see the shape, which is the mask, gets a grey dotted outline with white resizing boxes on the corners and mid points. If you need to adjust the crop or size of the shape drag on these.
Behind the shape outline is the image with the cropped parts outside shown greyed out. The greyed out part is the hidden part. If you click outside the shape but on the greyed out part of the image you select the image itself and can pull at its corners or sides to change its shape. Or if you just click on the greyed part of the image you can move it around so that it moves relative to the shape cropping it.
If you have several sections to be shown in each shape, you can move them one at a time to show each one. Say you have 4: 2 top and 2 bottom, option drag the shape with the picture in it to make 4 copies. Then in each one pull the image to reveal in turn top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right.
Do this till you have all the parts separated and rearrange them where you want.
*A bonus tip:* Cut out a step by opening Preview, next to Pages, with the multiple pages showing in the sidebar. You can drag the pages from the sidebar directly into the shape in Pages, without having to divide the .pdf.
Any further questions just ask.

How can I get a downloaded document to open so I can permanently rotate it?

I get the following message when attempting to open a document in Adobe XI, "There was an error opening this document, access denied". How can I open the selected document and permanently rotate it 180 degrees?

For the first problem (not opening) try this.
- Open Adobe Reader XI
- Go to Edit - Preferences - General section
- Uncheck the option called "Enable Protected Mode at Startup"
- Save the changes, close Adobe Reader and it should be fixed.
As far as rotating, you can only rotate the view for the current session with Reader. It will not be saved once the document is closed.

Can you open a word document in pages 08

Quick question however stupid it is
can you open a word document from a pc in pages 08?
sorry in advance if i have posted this in the wrong discussion area
cheers
Message was edited by: Lama323

The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

I can't save my open documents in Pages.

I have 2 untitled documents in pages open. I have the animated progress bar spinning and spinning. - I have tried to reinstall Pages but that dosn't cut it. What to do ?? Please help.

Hey fruhulda,
I have a similar problem although I'm running OSX 10.9.5. I'v just started to completely remove pages and attempt a reinstall. I did the search for the plist file. There was only one file with the com.apple.iwork.pages name but it did not have the .plist extension, even when I checked the info page. Is this the same file?
I'm not sure I want to update to Yosemite yet, but it looks like I may have to in order to continue to work with my pages documents, unless the reinstall works.

Why can't I scan a document to pages so I can make changes?
