How can I compress a large Pages document for emailing purpose?

I have a Pages document that is 1.16 GB with lots of photos and videos and I can’t send it by email. I have tried “zipping” it but can’t get much compression. Is there a way to compress it to make it “Emailable”? I have all of the recent updates for iOS and Pages. Any other info required?

Here is a different approach. Instead of distributing the file (large) why not open a (free/small fee) account somewhere (blogspot or some such)? You could then create your travel journal right up there and upload images and videos. Simply send a link to your latest posting to anyone who you like. No issues between Apple and non-Apple users, no big files that you cannot get through email servers.


As others already have mentioned only Apple users are able to open Pages documents and see your video. PDFs will be extremely large and clumsy and no video will make it (at least not with your available tools).


There is a ton such blog sites around that have been created explicitly for such purpose.


Maybe this helps. Have fun with travel, it's a great thing to do!
