Why do documents shrink when going from Pages To Word?

To work on my Word docs on my iPad, I email them to myself, and save the attachments in Pages. To get them pack to my laptop, I email them back to myself from the iPad, as Word docs. The attachments that come back are half the size of the original (in KBs), even though I do not remove any content, and usually have added some. Does anyone know why this is, and what occurs to reduce the document to half the KBs it was before?
Thanks.

The content is text only, being composed in Word and edited in Pages. It's getting incoporated into a bigger Word document (the master document). I worry that a document which goes from 100 KB to 40KB is missing something - and that it will somehow corrupt the master document if I add it in.
Pages takes .docx docs and saves them as .doc. But converting them back to .docx in Word after they've been compressed doesn't bring them back to their original size.

    In order to be cross platform you must be using the Open Type version of all fonts to cause the least disruption. Macs can read and process the Windows .ttf  type format but PCs can't process Mac formatted type. Most recent versions also cannot use the older PS Type 1 fonts.

    I can't say, but if that's the answer, trying to get it fixed might be impossible. Instead, I'd suggest compressing your attachments to create a .zip file. Decompression at the other end would take no time, and if the server changes the attachment's file type, just change it back to .zip.

    In the printer driver (accessed through the Page Setup button) set the Advanced tab to borderless. Then in the right hand panel under Layout set all the margins to zero.

  • Since OS X Yosemite upgrade, cannot share document from pages in word format. Therefore document cannot be opened by non apple user.  How do I get around this please?

    Since the OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 update to my iMac (27 inch, Mid 2010) , I can no longer "share" a document from Pages in word format via email.  It can be sent as an att but then as "Pages"  cannot be accessed by a non apple receiver.  Please what is the answer, the old method was fast, simple and efficient.
    Out of my depth appreciate some help.

    Are you using the File > Export function? It will deposit a Word document onto your desktop (or any folder you choose) and then you can attach it to your email.

  • When I try and export from pages to word I get an unknown error.  No font issues that I know of.

    I used to be able to export documents from pages to word.  Things seemed to have changed after Lion.  Whenever I go to export to Word, I get "an unknown error has occurred".  I tried all the font solutions found on here and everything is validated and I don't think it's a font issue.  It's a brand new document with Helvetica as the only font. 
    Thanks, chadrs

    I'm unaware of such change.
    May you send the Pages document to my mailbox ?
    Click my blue name to get my address.
    I would check the way it behaves on my own system.
    This way we would know if the culprit is the doc or your system.
    You wrote "I tried all the font solutions found on here and everything is validated and I don't think it's a font issue."
    Must I understand that you trashed the fonts cache file dedicated to iWork ?
    If you didn't (what I assume), trash it for see.
    This file is :
    <startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Caches:com.apple.iWork.fonts
    For safe I repeat that under Lion, to reach this Library folder we must press the option key while opening the menu "Go to" to be able to trigger the menu item "Library".

  • How to improve quality of pdfs when exporting from pages?

    how to improve quality of pdfs when exporting from pages? Any suggestions?

    Print to pdf and don't use anything with transparency.
    Have you ensured all your images are actually high enough resolution for whatever purpose (which you haven't said) you want?

  • Print issues when going from develope to print

    In LR5 when going from Develope to Print, I loose the picture and the print tab is greyed out.  Never had this problem before, did I do something wrong

    Make sure the source remains the same - check the filmstrip.
    The only suggestion is to place the batch for editing and printing into a collection or (temporary) quick collection and access the images from there in both modules.

    In-place upgrades are always a crapshoot. Try trashing the prefs (see Replace Your Preferences), but most likely you'll have to reinstall ID at the very least. YOu may have to do a clean install on the OS as well.

  • Pages '08 says "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." when opening a Pages '08 Document

    Created a document 3 years ago with Pages '08.  Got a new Mac last summer, migrated my user account, reinstalled Pages '08.  Upgraded to Mavericks recently.
    Now when trying to open the document I get the message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." 
    Note that I have read a number of the messages here that are similar.  To be clear there is only one Pages (Pages '08) on this system.  Its in the iWork folder.
    Is it the case that this document and all the other Pages '08 documents on my system are lost forever? 
    BTW I have looked at the new version of Pages.  Its just plain awful from UX to quality.  What has gone wrong at Apple and specifically in the iWork group in the past few years???
    Thanks for any help!
    K
    And in trying to post this I got the "You are not allowed to create or update this content"  Changed the Community from what was automatically selected and seems to work now.  Whats with Apple Engineering and QA these days??? 

    I've never had Pages 5 on my system.  Just to confirm I copied the file to a USBDrive and gave it to a friend to try out.  He has Pages 5 on a new MBP with latest Mavericks.  When he tried to open it he got the following message:
    "You document will open in the new Pages for Mac.  If you save it or edit it, you'll need the latest Pages on iOS7 to open it on an iOS device."
    But it did open on his system.  He closed it, no save, and reopened but did not get the above message again.
    We concluded that the file is actually a Pages '08 file because of the above message.
    However we also suspect that when this file was simply opened in Pages 5.2.2 on his system it got flagged and possibly converted which is actually quite offensive!
    Thoughts/Advice?

  • Going from Pages to EPUB using InDesign?

    Is there a guide for going from a Pages document to EPUB using InDesign? The target is a book that is over 105K words for 425 pages.
    I am an absolute beginner with InDesign and I was hoping to more finely control the outcome of EPUB generation by using InDesign rather than outputting from Pages using Export to EPUB. Unfortunately, ID isn't quite as intuitive as I had hoped it would be and I've run up against the wall.
    Do I load each chapter as a separate document and then collect them as a book file? Or can the book be loaded as one document? I've been trying as one document, but I can't it to appear in the main editing window. (It shows up fine in the story editing, but that gets tedious very quickly.)
    Last, while ID creates EPUB files, can it generate a MOBI or AZW file for the Amazon Kindle? I found no references for in concerning ID in the documentation, but thought I'd ask anyway.

    Thanks, Steve!
    I've already been hand-building the CSS & EPUB files. I was just hoping that InDesign would make it easier. Clearly, that's not the case.
    Apple's Pages does a very good job generating an EPUB which only requires a minimal amount of tweaking to the CSS to give it a final polish and further adjustments for e-readers other than an iOS device. Generating the MOBI/AZW for Kindle requires a bunch of jumping through hoops to prepare, which was what I was hoping to avoid.
    A few days to release, I have plenty of time get get the ebooks ready.
    A good heads up for any competent programmers out there—of which I am not—there is a huge market of self-publishing authors in need of a program that can take a RTF, Word or Pages formatted document and smoothly turn it into an EPUB or AZW file.

  • Since I upgraded to Lion multiple documents open when I start Pages, Since I upgraded to Lion multiple documents open when I start Pages

    I've searched Pages preferences, but haven't found a way to stop former documents from opening when I start pages. Any idea how to stop this?

    It's one of the new features of the operating system.
    It restore the state of tha apps when you quitted.
    There is a preference to disable that in the System Preferences pane Appearence but you must also disable it in the Switch Off dialog which reactivate the feature by default.

  • Help please! Resume isn't going from .pages to .doc

    My resume is exactly how I'd like it to look in .pages format but I've tried EVERYTHING to change it to a .doc document because a lot of employers are asking for resumes and cover letters in a word (.doc) format ONLY. Of course I can save it as a pdf but that is not agreeable to some of them. I have the Microsoft Office for MAC software and I've tried exporting it...copy paste...even rebuilding it from scratch and every time I save it and email it to myself as a .doc document it comes out looking NOTHING like what I see when I am in Word working on it. The font is different, spacing is off, etc....HELP!! Is there any way whatsoever to make my resume from pages look exactly the same when it is a .doc document?

    M,
    It's possible that your Pages design is simply impossible to reproduce in Word because of some feature in Pages that doesn't exist in Word. If that's the case, you would be better off doing the whole thing in Word from start to finish, sad to say. It's a good thing that you have Office for Mac available. When you are dealing with businesses, whether they are clients or prospective employers, you have to bend to their wills. This may mean using Pages for your internal work and Office or one of its clones for times when only Word is accepted. That's part of the cost of doing business.

  • IPad 1 - safari pulls days old pages when going between pages and sometimes drops out

    Does anyone have a problem with Safari whereby, you go from one we page to another and when going back to a previous page, Safari shows a days old page?  In addition, Safari will drop out to the 'desktop' at times for apparent reason.  Doesn't matter if the we page is a simple page or one with video.  This all started with Apple pushing their latest iOS.  Apple wants to charge $30 for you to ask about this problem but it's their iOS that pushed on their product.  Like I stated, it worked fine before their latest iOS push.

    Jesus H Christ this is still driving me up the wall, i can't believe everyone is just accepting this.  Isn't there a way to fix this?  Can we at least have an option to turn this OFF?? Reloading a page everytime i go back is such a waste of time/bandwidth/my nerves when i am in the middle of a page

  • Image loses resolution when converting from pages to jpg

    I created an ad for my son's yearbook in Pages.  It is 9MB but I need to submit as jpg.  The only way I can figure to do that is to convert from Pages to PDF and from PDF to JPEG.  However when I do this, it shrinks from 9MB to just over 1MB which is too low rez.  Can anyone help?  I'm on a deadline. Thanks!!!

    OSX outputs pdfs at 72dpi if there is any transparency such as shadows, reflections, charts and of course directly specified transparency.
    The jpeg is generated from a pdf and is the wrong method of producing an ad, which should remain text/vector to stay sharp, with photographic style images at 300dpi.
    jpegs should only be used for purely photographic material because it makes everything else fuzzy.
    Your ad should be supplied as a vector pdf. If it has photographic material do not use transparency effects and make sure the images are at least 300dpi at final size.
