 ePub: You can open ePub les for reading in the iBooks application on an iPad,
iPhone, or iPod touch, or in any ePub le 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 le that's created upon export. However, if you export to the PDF le
format, you can apply a new password at the time of export.
To export a document to PDF, Microsoft Word, RTF, or plain text le 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 le):
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.
