Ana,
what I'm about to tell you will sound totally odd and I actually
wondered whether the instructions I found were correct but I verified
this with three different sites.
the Pages files are actually compressed files. Rename the file so that
it has a .zip extension.
Open the .zip file and there should be a quicklook folder.
Open quicklook and there should be a pdf file called Preview. This
preview file is the actual document.
It sounds like an odd way to save a file but it should work, although I
haven't tried it personally. Here is a page with detailed instructions.
