Love your website, I found what I was looking for.
I’ve been using Pages lately to produce quick flyers with good results.
I’ll try to test Pages 2 today, I hope my printer likes it also.

The drop shadows are part of the PDF spec, but they are only supported in Adobe Reader 7.X. Preview, In Design, and many other apps that read PDF render them just fine.

As for the Grammar, Dictionary, and Thesaurus… you can get OS X apps or services that perform these funcitons in all applications, including Pages: Grammarian, OmniDictionary, and Nisus Thesaurus spring to mind.

Note:
When you apply a Quartz filter to the postscript file in the ColorSync Utility you can export it as a PDF. If you use Preview to export the filtered PS file- the resulting PDF file will be 4 times bigger.

This is how you save drop shadows in Pages…

If you choose “Save as file” and select “Postscript” then when you double-click on the (postscript) file it opens in Preview as a PDF. Simply save that document.

The only other way is to open the postscript file in Acrobat Distiller (which comes with Acrobat Professional)

By the way InDesign has exactly the same problem. You would think that even Adobe could fix that…

Another Tip.
You can use a Quartz/ ColorSync filter to make the PDF CMYK for professional printing. (found in Applications/ Utilities/ ColorSync utility. Make a new filter as the existing ones are locked…)

the size of these PDf’s are very large – opening the PDF up in Acrobat Pro you can reduce a typical 10MB Pages PDF to at least 1-2 MB.

For a v1 app it’s very good but exporting is very awkward. Hopefully Apple will refine PDF exporting in the future.
