(Moving it to the general WO list)

You can also go with OpenOffice. Not as nice as Pages, but you can find examples of how to do it, and you can even run OOo as a service (and make the document to PDF conversion directly into OOo).

But why are you not converting the Pages files to PDF directly in Pages before uploading them? I guess you want to do templates in Pages and modify some fields when the PDF is generated?

Hey WO people,

We're building a new app that needs to generate a really nice looking printable document. I'd like to use Pages for it since you can generate some awesome looking documents with it. And also Pages documents are simply XML documents after all. Apple even has an iWork developer guide:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/iWork2-0_XML/index.html#/ /apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002479


Does anyone know of a command-line program that could read the Pages document and convert it to a PDF document without having to launch Pages? The WO app will be running on an XServe with OS X Leopard Server.


Thanks,
