Can't add some Apple Pages files

jhimmelreich · June 21, 2019

Hi

I have some files from Apple Pages -- I don't know what it is with them -- that I cannot add as stored files to Zotero. In the dialogue and when dragged & dropped, they are displayed like and behave like folders (I can actually browse them).

I am using 5.0.68 on the latest macOS Mojave.

Happy to send you one of these files if that helps.

PS: it might happen with pages files that I received by email..

That's because some Pages "files" are, in fact, folders. macOS just shows them as files.

You might be able to open them and resave copies as single files:

You can switch between a single file and a package at any time. Open your file. Then choose File > Advanced > Change File Type and select the type you'd like to use.
