Chapter 12 Printing, Sharing, and Exporting Your Document to Other Formats 257
 ePub: You can open ePub files for reading in the iBooks application on an iPad,
iPhone, or iPod touch, or in any ePub file reader. After you export your document to
ePub format, you must transfer it to your device to read it in iBooks. To learn more
about optimizing a document for ePub format, exporting it, and transferring it to
your device, see “Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks” on page 257.
If your Pages document is password-protected, the password-protection is removed
from the new file that's created upon export. However, if you export to the PDF file
format, you can apply a new password at the time of export.
To export a document to PDF, Microsoft Word, RTF, or plain text file formats:
1 Choose Share > Export.
2 Select the document format that you want from the options shown across the top of
the Export window.
If you’re exporting to PDF, you must choose an image quality (a higher image quality
results in a larger PDF file):
Best: Image resolutions are not scaled down.
Better: Images are downsampled to 150 dpi. Images without transparency (alpha
channel) are JPEG-compressed by 0.7.
Good: Images are downsampled to 72 dpi. Images without transparency (alpha
channel) are JPEG-compressed by 0.9.
To learn about creating a password for your PDF document, see “Password-Protecting
Your Document” on page 36.
3 Click Next.
4 Type a name for the document.
5 Choose where you want to save the document.
6 Click Export.
To learn about creating a document that can be opened in Pages ’08, see “Saving a
Document as an iWork ’08 or Microsoft Word Document” on page 260. To learn about
sending a Pages document to iWeb, so you can use it in your website, see “Sending a
Pages Document to iWeb” on page 264.
Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks
You can export any Pages word-processing document to the ePub file format for
reading in an ePub reader, such as the iBooks application on the iPad, iPhone, or
iPod touch. Documents created in page layout templates can’t be exported to the
ePub format.
