Q: Pages, I receive a message "document can't be downloaded". Try again later.
Most Pages documents on my iPad 2 have a down arrow for downloading. When I try to download I get a message "document can't be downloaded. Try again later." Later has come and gone. I have ruled out Internet connectivity. I was forced to go home to retrieve them from my iMac, via email transfer. The fact they are accessible from icloud with my Mac but not my iOS device is troubling. I have a very large number of documents and the prospect of having to email each to myself to assure their integrity concerns me. I even made a minor change and saved to iCloud from my mac. The updated document also fails to download in the same manner.

Found my own solution. I connected to iTunes. It did a sync. I selected the iPad in the side panel and clicked on the Summary tab, I noticed my backup time was a few days ago so I did a manual backup. After the backup I restarted Pages on my iPad 2 and the files now download.
