Mac OS Ventura - Sending a PDF of a pages document via email

Apple removed the Sharing menu item. Your options to Send a Copy and to choose Mail and PDF are on the File menu now, or possibly as a View menu > Customize Toolbar… panel where you drag and drop Send a Copy onto your Toolbar.

Good work everyone. Your feedback made a difference, contrary to what some have insisted. The latest update reintroduces the lost export functionality via a new “Export and Share” option in the Share menu.

Hi guys,

I have solved the issue by creating a keyboard shortcut for the "File > Export as PDF..." menu option in macOS Ventura.

In my case I have a Maestro keyboard license but you can also create it directly from the "Keyboard" option in the System Configuration.

In previous versions of macOS I had added another keyboard shortcut that "forced" me to go through an extra step by having to press COMMAND + P + P

(please excuse me if any description is not exactly the same as yours since I work in another language).

Thanking you for your contributions,

Best regards,

See the software solution to export and attach a document to Apple Mail:

PAGES: Where did "share as pdf" go? - Apple Community

The Numbers version of this solution is posted here:

after upgrading to Ventura I can no longe… - Apple Community

It is the satin Notes - no longer sends as a PDF embedded in a Mail but as a Notes link - no use for all your MicroSoft contacts. HOWEVER there is a solution - in Pages or Notes etc... simple go File>Print then on the PDF drop down >send in Mail - and it attaches the Pages doc r Note as a PDF!

Not quite as elegant as it was, goodness knows why they've stopped this, but at least there is a simple solution.....!

There is a workaround: Have your pages document open, press cmd+p to print, make sure at the bottom the dropdown menu says PDF, click the down arrow, choose Send in mail.

It will open up Mail with your document attached as PDF.

Only fellow users and occasional hosting team community specialists participate here. The Pages product team and other Apple product teams are embargoed from participation in these public, Google archived communities.

There is no one here that can fix what the product team has removed. Youc can politely let them know that you want this feature back by using the Provide Pages Feedback on the application menu.

You are not addressing Apple in these fellow-user supported public communities. The product teams are embargoed from participating here, so no one at Apple can see your post. There is a feedback item on the Pages application menu that lets you communicate directly with the product team, providing you keep it professional.

I too am infuriated by this omission. It's just another one in a long list of things that Apple has taken away over the years that were very useful.

EVERY ONE OF YOU go to "File > Provide Pages Feedback" and report this. That'll be the most helpful.

"Is there a way to still do this? I'

Any hope in getting that back?"

Yes and Yes.

The lost ability has been found again and brought home in Pages 13.

@VikingOSX I've said it before: If we don't keep reporting it, they will assume it's a one-off and not fix it. Doesn't matter what they do with the reports once they arrive. Volume of incoming reports is the key.

So keep reporting it people. The only way they'll change it is if lots of people express their displeasure.

Not a solution to your Yoink sharing workflow requirement, but back on page 3 of this (currently) 5 page discussion, I offered an Apple Shortcuts solution to automatically attach a user's choice of PDF, DOCX, or RTF documents to outgoing email. The intention was addressing the most frequent complaint about the loss of the Send a Copy f(x).

I still think this has something to do with Ventura as the Send a Copy functionality exists with Pages v12.2.1 on Monterey 12.6.3, and Pages v12.2.1 for iOS/iPadOS 16.3 (from the document title).

It's still there. Just click command+p, click the drop-down arrow next to PDF, then click Send in Mail. Done.

Dan,

The updates should be available for you in the Mac App Store.

It is back now. Update Pages: Goto App-Store, look for Pages, do the update, and then use "share" and Export and then share again, works awesome, pretty close to what we had before!
