Q: .pages extension gets replaced with pages-tef on iCloud

I have been working with pages ('09 ver. 4.3) documents on iCloud, and once in a while the file extension of pages documents (".pages") get replaced with ".pages-tef" (one for iOS version of pages) without my doing so.

 

This is extremely annoying since moving pages-tef documents between mac's local folder and iCloud sometimes results in damaging the files, and pages-tef extensions are somehow hidden on Finder even when Finder preference is set to display all file extensions, which makes file name change very bothersome (I have to do it on "get info" window).

 

Is there anyway to prevent icloud from changing pages file extension without my permission?
