When trying to email a Pages document as Word or PDF I get a message saying the document doesn't exist. I can sent it as a Page document but I don't know if the other person will be able to open it.

Are you able to use the PDF button in the Print dialogue to Show PDF in Preview?

If so, you should be able to either Save the document from there and place it in your email message as an attachment, or to Copy the image from Preview and pate it into your email document.

You are most entirely welcome, PCattie!

May I suggest that this naming conflict issue should be given to Apple as product feedback?

It’s great that Apple makes it so we have great flexibility to name our files as we wish, but when the names conflict with other protocols (such as those used for email—naming of e-mail attachments, in this case) Apple should appropriately rename said files—actually, copies thereof, in this and most cases—rather than producing mysterious misbehaviors, such as what you were experiencing.

After all, most of Apple’s customers are not knowledgeable in all these various protocols, or even in what people using other computer systems can or cannot deal with.

Just a suggestion.

What if you rename the file to not use slashes (or colons) in the name, PCattie?
