Does anyone know why I’m not able to open the PDF files when I save a website as a pdf to my pages app?

Hello,


Pages is a word processor and can only open word processor documents (ie. .pages, .doc, .txt). While a PDF document can be created in a word processor it is not a word processor document and cannot be opened in Pages. If you head into the Files application and select the PDF in question you should be able to open in or open it in another applications like Apple Books.
