Is there a simple way to create a document in Pages, and then email it to someone who uses a PC so they can open and read it? I tried saving it to a PDF.file, but it doesn't translate perfectly. It looks exactly as I need it to in Pages, and I need to have it read exactly in the same format by the PC owner. Thanks for your help.

While Pages can certainly save the file as a Word document, sending it as a PDF preserves it EXACTLY as you created it with no possibility for changes, so I'm not sure what you mean by "doesn't translate perfectly." By definition, it cannot do otherwise.

It'll depend if you've embedded the fonts, as they'll differ between each machine, and some fonts display differently on Mac and PC even if they've been embedded.
