How do I convert pdf.rar files to pdf or to Pages or Numbers?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
.rar is an archive file created with that unix application tar. You can expand this using the command line if you want. It would be easier to request the pdf from the original source as a zip or other (newer) compressed file.
Also Stuffit expander, unrar (http://www.unrarx.com/), and Unarchiver (http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html) should open .rar files. Another poster has corrected my statement that this was made by the tar application-- which it is not.
try highlighting the text, and copy, open pages, or adobe and paste and resize the font, then print
Thanks but the problem is that I can't even open the pdf.rar file which came as an attachment to an email. I think it's corrupted in some way. But thanks for your suggestion.

No, that would be ".tar". RAR is something else, and there's no built-in decoder on the Mac.
The Unarchiver worked brilliantly. Thanks for your help/
