We’re really excited about these new conversions – as the number of Mac users continues to grow rapidly more and more people are using iWork to generate and share documents, presentations and spreadsheets, yet not everyone can open them … until now.
You can use Zamzar to upload any Pages (word processing doc), KeyNote (presentation) or Numbers (spreadsheet) and convert them to any one of the following formats:
Pages (.pages) to:
- doc – Microsoft Word Document
- pdf – Portable Document Format
- rtf – Rich Text Format
- txt – Text document
KeyNote (.key) to:
- ppt – Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation
Numbers (.numbers) to:
- csv – Comma Separated Values
- pdf – Portable Document Format
- xls – Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet
iWork is an office suite of desktop applications created by Apple for the Mac OS X and iOS operating systems, and Zamzar supports conversion for all versions of iWork from iWork ’05 right through to the very latest release (currently iWork ’09).
Useful tip: Files created by iWork before the iWork ’09 release are saved into directories. As you cannot upload directories to Zamzar, to convert these files make sure you compress them into a .zip format first so that your directory becomes a .zip file named “someName.pages.zip”, like so:
This is the world’s first support for conversion of iWork files – No other service exists (online or offline) to do this independently from a Mac (even Apple’s iWork.com requires you to own iWork to use it !), and as everything is based in a browser you can peform the conversion on any platform 🙂
We’ll be rolling out support for even more “to” formats for Keynote over the coming weeks.
