coverting Pages 13.2 to pages 09 not working

I had completed a pages document in the current and last version of pages (as of this writing V13.2) and was trying to export to a pages 09 version of the same document for a friend who is running an older system. when I converted the file (7 page document)the formatting was out of place in a few of the pages, the text also was placed in different pages. the first pages ironically were fine. I was only allowed to edit the corrections if I made a copy, but the copy was in the newer format which defeats the purpose. any Idea why this conversion to pages 09 doesn't work? it works when I convert to PDF but then my friend can't edit it or add content. any suggestion or an easier fix is welcome.

Mac Pro, OS X 10.10

You should expect the export to Pages 09 to not be exactly as it is in Pages v13.2 because the document formats and application implementations are entirely different. Export to Rich Text Format (e.g. RTF) or Word .doc and then open that in Pages '09.
