Libre Office can open mac pages documents.
- s1mon 4y agoYes, there are solutions if everyone is onboard with the arrangement. However, sharing a .pages or .key file with a prospective employer or client is asking them to do extra work, and is rude at best and a deal killer at worst. As a corollary, sharing .7zip or .tar or .rar when a .zip would do just fine are equivalent mistakes.
- avidphantasm 4y agoFor me sending anything but a PDF is a deal killer. It's just odd to me to send your resume in a document format that supports editing. Take the time to make it into a PDF.
