Incompatible file formats will be grayed out, and compatible files will be selectable in the Pages open file chooser.


You access PDFs (non-Edit) and images with Apple's Preview, or PDFs only via the optional Adobe Acrobat Reader DC application.


Web pages (*.html) are openable in your default browser.
