Hello Daz3226,

After reviewing your post, it sounds like you saved documents to be pdfs, and you cannot open them with Pages. Pages on the iOS is not able to open pdf documents. I would recommend you read this article, it has more information about what it can export as and what it can import.


Pages for iOS can open

  • Pages ’05 or later
  • Microsoft Word - Office Open XML (.docx) and Office 97 or later (.doc)
  • Plain Text files (.txt)
  • Rich Text Format (.rtf)

Import and export different file formats with Pages


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Have a nice day.
