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.
I did exactly that:

Do I need to restart OSX?
I got the same problem. And I'm frustrated too.... :-(
This does appear to be a Ventura issue. I had hoped yesterday's update would have addressed the issue. Your workarounds have really helped VikingOSX, but I really wish Apple would sort this out.
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…
Very apt!
Thanks VikingOSX, the shortcut works really well.
I'm still disappointed that Apple did not correct the Share menu shortcomings in yesterday's update.
I don't have any AppleScript skills and wondered if I could be a bit cheeky.
Your script covers the main half of what I have used the share menu for. I also archive pdf copies of my documents to DEVONthink (DT). It's possible to do this via the print menu but that option strips out any tags which I have applied (I use these extensively to manage my documents). Is it possible to adapt this script to export the document as a .pdf & send it to the DT inbox?
