Chapter 10 Printing and Exporting Your Document to Other Formats 175
Exporting to Other Document Formats
You can share your Pages documents across different platforms by exporting them to
other formats, such as Microsoft Word, PDF, or HTML.
To export a document to another file format:
1 Choose File > Export.
2 Select the document type you want in the Export dialog.
 PDF: Can be viewed or printed in Preview or any PDF viewer, and can be edited
with a PDF application
 Word: Can be opened and edited in Microsoft Word on Mac OS X, or on Windows
 HTML: Allows the use of sound and movie files, and can be viewed in Safari or other
applications that render HTML
 RTF: Retains most of the text formatting and graphics; can be opened and edited in
a word processor
 Plain Text: Removes text formatting; can be opened and edited in a text editing
application, such as TextEdit
3 Click Next.
4 Type the title for the new document and select the location you want to save it to.
Note: When you export to other document formats, the new document may not be
identical to the Pages document.
When exporting to Microsoft Word, the line spacing may not be identical, so the Word
document may have fewer pages than the Pages document. Also, special typographic
features and some graphics may not display as well, particularly those using
transparency (alpha channels). Tables and column layouts may not export identically,
and charts created in Pages appear as static images in other document formats.
Images will not appear at all in Plain Text format.
