Document can't be opened in pages

Created a doc in pages on my ipad. Now it says "document can't be opened". Will let me copy but not email or save to itunes. It is in the icloud but tells me I need a newer version of pages for icloud. Won't let me open on my mac either. Can anyone help - need this file! Have checked on other forums and some people say to open in an older version - how can I download an older version of pages either on Ipad or mac. Have already tried deleting pages app and reinstalling.

After upgrading the iPad, iPhone, and Mac to the brand-new Pages (and latest OS numbers released on October 22), had the problem Sandro described:


  • Created a document in iPad Pages
  • Opened and edited the document in Mac Pages
  • Got "Document can't be opened" when attempting to open the document in iPad Pages


My solution: power off then power on iPad. Now the Pages documents open fine on the iPad too.


Good luck to everyone else.
