Q: How do I force .pages 5.1 to store and open pages.zip ?

I use my own WebDAV Server to as a file storage for my Mac and my iPad. It is ridiculous that Apple stopped zipping the .pages documents when storing its documents in the file system. And even worse, if you want to open the file on the iPad the same document need to be zipped.

Does anyone know a setting for iWorks ´13 (Pages 5.1) to save and open its documents in the MacOS as zip containers ( document.pages.zip) ?

Hi Barry,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

It sounds like you want Pages to save your documents in ZIP format because it's more flexible. The article below will walk you through saving the documents as ZIP Archives and the benefits of creating ZIP files using Pages instead of Finder or another application .
