Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Permission to view/edit document in Pages on my iPad

I keep getting periodic messages from Pages on my iPad when I try to open documents that I have created and are located in various places on my iPad. Most often I am using a Dropbox to open my files. I get a message that says

The file “.......” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it. You don’t have permission.

I hope somebody can help with this. It is extremely frustrating. The document opens in Word just fine, but not in Pages.

iPad Pro, iOS 12

Hello,

This could be a bug when attempting to open a document from Dropbox. Try saving your document to the Files application before trying to open it.
