I used to share documents from Pages as PDFs. It was a simple option from the share "menu." In the latest version of Pages, it looks like I have to save the document as a PDF and then share that saved document. This adds steps to the process and it saves PDF documents that I don't need to save.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks!

Apple removed the Share menu from Pages v12.2, and on Ventura, it appears that the Send a Copy that appears on my Pages v12.2 File menu on Monterey or earlier is also missing according to others using Ventura that have posted in this community.
The remedy on Ventura is to use the Pages File menu > Print… ( or cmd+p) > PDF > Send in Mail. This will open a Mail compose window with the PDF attached.
Use the feedback menu item in the Pages application menu. That alone will be read by the Pages product team as they do not participate in these public, user-supported communities and your fix-it plea to Apple will go unread.
I think it is fundamentally a Ventura problem as it affects the share menu whether you are using Pages, Numbers, Safari and so on.
It really does make sharing documents with others who don't use (what we used to call) iWork that much harder & I am grateful there are folk like you who help users to find ways round the problem.
I just wish Apple would sort it out!

I did exactly that:
However:
Do I need to restart OSX?
Well, it may be the Apple version of the M.C Escher print where each hand represents the respective macOS and Pages product teams making things up as they go along…
Ah, there it is. Thanks!
Cmmd-P, send PDF in mail works great!
(I just wish the compose mail window would open on top/in front. Oh well.)
I am hoping there will be some fix in a future Pages or Ventura point release that alleviates this issue.
Excellent. Thank you very much.
@VikingOSX Can you enhance the script that I can only hit enter on my keyboard after choosing which format I want to send?
The choose list dialog by default accepts a return/enter key after choosing the document format.
I have it now. I had left in the (* *) in the script rather than delete the full line when I copied and pasted your script.
Thank you so much for the workaround - it is running fine now!
Good, and you are welcome.
Okay, thanks
Hear , hear.
I really like Pages, but others do not have it. I can't understand why Apple decided to make it more difficult to work with non Apple users
Thank you so much, VikingOSX, this is fantastic! Works like a charm....
You are welcome.
My thanks too, I have added my plea via Pages feedback

PAGES: Where did "share as pdf" go?
