Mac/iPad Pages compatibility
I had purchased iPad pages for the sole purpose of displaying documents that I created on the Mac Pages. I had all kinds of difficulties. The real frustration was twofold. First, I had created the documents by using ONLY the default templates on the Mac. Second, after having difficulties, I created the documents brand new using ONLY the fonts that do exist on the iPad. No good.
I contacted AppleCare and a "senior advisor" confirmed that my Mac documents do not read properly on the iPad. We then created several test documents, which were nothing more than saving a Mac Pages template without changing anything on it. One did display properly on the iPad but three did not!
The senior advisor stated that he would pass the issue to Engineering and would get back to me. After eight weeks, I received no further information whatever so I sent an email to Steve Jobs this morning. He responded almost immediately with "At this time, Pages docs created on a Mac cannot be read on an iPad. We are working on it."
Hmmm...
