share via email as pdf / and again the world has become a bit worse
Unfortunately, Pages v12.2 no longer includes the "Send a copy as PDF" function. This is very annoying and for me as a software developer it is completely incomprehensible why EXISTING functions are DISAPPEARING in new versions?
Previously you could send a Pages document via the menu items File / Send Copy / Mail / PDF
directly as a PDF attachment in an email. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible because the menu
File / send copy no longer exists (by the way, the help still mentions it, i.e. the help doesn't match the current program version either... but that's a completely different topic)
Instead, there is now the File / Share... menu item, which is related to corresponding functions from the mobile area (iPhone/iPad). Using this menu item, however, you CANNOT bring the document into an email as a PDF, only as a .pages file. I don't want to imply that Apple wants to push its own iWork file format with it...
If you want to send a PDF, you first have to save it as a PDF file via File / Export To... and then either search for it in the Finder and then right-click / Share / Send a copy / Mail or open it directly via Mail / New email / Attach a file to a to get email. Both variants are more complicated to handle and represent a deterioration of the previous status!
I therefore ask the questions:
1) Why was this feature removed?
2) When will it be reintroduced ?
