Why name Pages Pages?

Why name pages pages if Pages 5.5.2 cannot open older versions of Pages?
This like MS of the '90's, creating new software that cannot open old software by the same name.
At least Apple should supply a converter or pay someone to write one.
Many of us re-use documents at a later date. This incompatibility requires pages(old)>pdf>pages 5.5.2 "hand" conversion. Really not the ease of use that I would expect. Please correct me if I am wrong and I would love it.

Use Pages 4.3/iWork '09 for the most features & best compatibility.
If you previously had iWork '09 or '08, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09 unless you deliberately deleted them. Be aware that you will not be able to open documents saved with the new versions unless you export them as iWork '09 or revert them to a previously saved version. If you did delete them & have a Time Machine backup that includes your Applications folder you can restore them from there. In the past the iWork apps have not worked well when copied from another drive, but some users have reported that this works for them, especially if the apps were originally purchased from the Mac App Store. If you originally installed them from the retail disk, find the disk & reinstall them & then update to iWork 9.3.
If none of that applies, I suggest you buy the retail box of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon.com or eBay. Be sure to run Software Update after installing & before running any of the applications. You can download the standalone updater from this page.

    Agreed, going to Firefox is the step in the right privacy direction.

    sudo pico /etc/hosts

    I have a question about extracting pages.  When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf".  Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files.  It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name.  Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

    No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

  • Insert Document name in Pages

    Is there a way to insert the document name as automatic text at the bottom of the first page in Pages? This was a simple "automatic text" script that Word has had for years. All of our documents are saved with names relating to what the document is and where it gets filed. Our paper filing/folder structure is pretty much identical to the folder structure of our file server. It is very convenient to have the name of the document printed at the bottom of the first page so that when it comes time to filing our hard copies, one knows exactly where to file it.
    There must be a way to script this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Automator isn't really the best solution to this. It's possible to do it with AppleScript, and granted, anything you can do in AppleScript can be put into an Automator workflow.
    There seems to be three possible ways to mark the bottom of the document:
    1) Insert carriage returns to position the very last paragraph (the name of the document) at the bottom. Drawback: if your document takes up all of the final page, then you'd have to create a blank page to accomodate the name. Also, determining the exact number of returns to insert isn't very easy.
    2) Put the name in the footer. Drawback: footers appear on every page, not just the last. You could create a separate trailing section, but that has a blank-page issue similar to #1.
    3) Create a text box at the bottom of the last page. Here's a little script that will do that.
    As for triggering the script, the simplest way is probably to use the AppleScript utility to enable the system AppleScript menu, and put the script in the Pages scripts folder. Then it'll be available whenever you're running Pages.

  • Split PDF, name odd pages and name even pages in sequence

    I need help creating a script to ask the user for a PDF file then do the following:
    -Extract even pages and rename name with "_Front#" ending where "#" is a number sequence starting with 1.
    → ex: the PDF I choose when prompted is "anatomyBook". The extracted even pages would be:
         - anatomyBook_Front1,  anatomyBook_Front2, anatomyBook_Front3,...
    -Extract odd pages and name them similarly except replace "Front" with "Back" 
    Thanks for the help!

    Ok, I have solved some issues I found with the previous script and Automator configuration.
    The Filter Finder Items action apparently uses kMDItemKind to determine the file type, and if you choose a PDF file without an extension, this action will not pass the file to the Bash script. Result: 0.
    The mdls command, for the same reason will always fail to get a page count when it encounters a extensionless PDF file.
    Remove the entire mdls/egrep command sequence from the script.
    Wrote a shell function that runs Python, imports the CoreGraphics module, and returns the page count for PDF files with/out extensions. The function takes as its argument, the input PDF filename, which it passes into Python as a command-line argument ($1). It returns a page count.
    Replace entire Bash script in Automator with the following code.

  • Query regarding Name format page for Portugal

    Hi All,
    We are PeopleTools 8.50 and Peoplesoft HRMS Application 9.0. We have implemented the e recruit module for different countries and I would like to know if a delivered name format page exists for Portugal such as NAME_PRT_SEC because I do not find it in the NAME_FORMAT_TBL or in my Application Designer. I can find such a corresponding name format page for every other country but not for Portugal.
    We would need this information as our client wants the name formats to be displayed in Portuguese format when the user logs in Portuguese Portal.
    Thanks in Advance for the information.

    Amit,
    Get your date in this format in XML.
    YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+HH:MM
    Then there are lot of functions, you can apply on this to get the formatted date you wanted.

    Hi @kots 
    I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
    My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.

  • HTTP name of pages in dreamweaver

    Hi,
    I decided to build the majority of my website in flash. I.e. build different components (such as a calender) in flash and then I planned to import each component into dreamweaver on a seperate page and publish. The only trouble with this is that I have tried to link pages together using code in flash that goes to a specific web page. How do I name my webpages in dreamweaver so that it will go to that page.
    E.g. I have created a link in a flash document to www.mywebsite.com/about - how do I name this page in dreamweaver so that it links to this page?
    Cheers,

    That seems simple enough.
    Thanks for your help Joey...much appreciated.
    Quick question though: do I have to create a folder in the root directory on the local server, or my website server, or both?

  • Why are two pages yoked when I prepare a newsletter in Pages?  How can I delete one without the other?

    Why are two pages yoked when I prepare a newletter?  How do I delete one without the other?

    They are all part of one Section. Just as you do not (hopefully) rip pages out at random from books, the pages of a Section are linked by the text that flows from one to the other.
    If you want to move or delete particular page/s Insert a Section Break at the end of the page before.
