Linux: read files created on OsX using Pages

Do you need to open and read on your Linux box  files generated on Mac OsX using Pages? Below how i’m doing it.

1. create file /usr/local/bin/pages
2. edit /usr/local/bin/pages and inserte the following code
   
   Shell

   #!/bin/sh PDFV=evince # your favorite pdf viewer FILEP="$1" FILET=$(mktemp) mv $FILET ${FILET}.pdf DIRP=$(dirname $FILEP) cd $DIRP unzip -jp "$1" QuickLook/Preview.pdf > ${FILET}.pdf $PDFV ${FILET}.pdf cd - rm -f ${FILET}.pdf

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

   #!/bin/sh PDFV=evince  # your favorite pdf viewer FILEP="$1" FILET=$(mktemp) mv $FILET ${FILET}.pdf DIRP=$(dirname $FILEP) cd $DIRP unzip -jp "$1" QuickLook/Preview.pdf > ${FILET}.pdf $PDFV ${FILET}.pdf cd - rm -f ${FILET}.pdf

   
   at line 2 insert the full path of your favorite pdf viewer
3. make executable the newly created file ( chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pages )

Now you can read .pages file from your shell executing pages /path/to/file.pages
