Sending Your Pages Document to iWork.com public beta

You can send your document to iWork.com and access it using any computer with
a supported web browser, an email account, and your Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the
same as your MobileMe subscriber name or iTunes store account ID. If you don’t have
an Apple ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com and follow the onscreen instructions to
get one.

When you send a document to iWork.com, you can choose from the following options:

Â

Share with viewers: Invite specific viewers to add comments and notes, and
download your document.

Â

Publish on the web: Create a public web address (URL) that you can post on a
website or elsewhere so that anyone can view your document. General viewers can’t
view or leave comments and notes on your document.

Â

Upload for private use: Send your document to iWork.com to be viewed only by
yourself. You can choose to share with other viewers at a later time.

Important:

If you assigned your document a password, it won’t protect the document

when it’s viewed on iWork.com. That password is only in effect when viewers
download the password-protected document and view it on their computers. To
password-protect the document online, you must set an online password when you
post the document.
