Export a Pages document as a PDF

Background

If you work on a Mac, you need to remember that your teachers will probably be opening your submissions on a Windows PC. This means opening Pages files may be a real problem. To avoid this issue, save your work as a PDF file prior to submission.

Converting your file to PDF can also make the process of printing when on-campus simpler.

Step-by-step guide

To save a Pages file as a PDF:

  1. In Pages click File.
  2. Choose Export To.
  3. Choose PDF.
  4. Confirm the image quality you wish to use. Click Next.
  5. Select and appropriate folder and filename for your file.
  6. Click Export.

 

Hint

If you are submitting a draft of your work via Moodle, your teacher will be more able to make edits to your file if it is saved as a Word document.
