How to Convert a Pages Document to PDF on Mac

If you're an Apple Pages user, you might be wondering how to convert your document into a Microsoft Word file. The good news is that it's easy to do so using the Export function in Apple Pages.

If you fall into this category, you'll need to convert your Pages files to MS Word files at some point in the process.

Many editors prefer manuscripts to be submitted in Microsoft Word format, and some writers may also have a personal preference for using MS Word over other software like Scrivener. While there are different options available for writing and formatting documents, converting your Pages file to MS Word is a simple step that can be completed with ease.
