Pages file error. "Does Not Exist"

Hi lesliefromllano,

Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you see "The file doesn't exist" when trying to open a Pages document, so we'd like to see how we can help. First, make sure that you have the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store with these steps: How to manually update apps on your Apple device. If Pages is already updated or if updating doesn't help, start your Mac in safe mode and open the document: How to use safe mode on your Mac. Then, restart your Mac normally and attempt to open it again.

If the issue persists, reply to this message and let us know if you've noticed this with one or multiple documents.

Take care.

lesliefromllano,

Safe mode is used as a troubleshooting step since it performs certain checks and prevents some software from automatically loading or opening, which could help narrow down what may be causing the issue. This wouldn't be used permanently to open your files. You mentioned that the document in the screenshot is saved on iCloud Drive. Just to clarify, are you opening the documents from Finder or directly from your desktop? If you're opening them from your desktop, try opening them from Finder and let us know how it goes.

Cheers!
