From macOS, iOS, or iPadOS Pages? Helps to know which you are using and the version of it.


It is also important that you do not use the File menu > Share… Send a Copy panel as it will send a Pages document as an attachment. Instead, you need to use File menu > Export To > PDF > Send a Copy > Mail to attach the PDF.


Anyone with a decent PDF reader (Adobe Acrobat Reader, Apple Preview, Foxit, etc.) should be able to legibly open a PDF exported from Pages.
