iWork utilities
This project contains a tool for converting Pages files to HTML. The initial motivation was to recover my older Pages files, but I got carried away and wrote a converter for the current format and the older iOS format.
It is very much a work in progress, but hopefully someone finds it useful.
Setup process
Download and build
go get https://github.com/dunhamsteve/iwork/iwork2html
Usage
Export path
export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin
Run conventer
./iwork2html infile.pages outfile.html
Pages '13
I'm building on the work of Sean Patrick O'Brien on github. He determined
the base format of the .iwa files in the iWork'13 were a snappy compressed sequence of protobuf-encoded records and wrote
a tool to extract the protobuf definitions from the executables. Those .proto
files are included in the proto directory. He also extracted tables of int to type, needed to decode the .iwa
archives. Those .json files are included in this project.
I've used the json files to generate some of the code in the index directory. (Using the code found in codegen.) I ran
protoc on the .proto files and cleaned up the results so they would compile.
On top of this, I wrote the index package, which loads the database into memory. And I wrote iwork2html which will load
a pages file and render the contents to HTML.
iOS '.pages-tef' files
Before the format change in Pages'13, the iOS version of pages introduced a .pages-tef bundle format for iCloud storage.
It turns out that the sqlite database within these bundles mirror the '13 format. The iwork2html program handles these
files too.
Pages'08 and Pages'09
I have included an XSLT file (pages08tohtml.xsl) that will process the xml from Pages'08 and Pages'09 files to HTML. You can apply it to the
index.xml.gz in a Pages'08 file bundle (which is a directory) or the index.xml found within a Pages'09 file
(which is just a zip file). For now I'll leave it as an exercise to write a wrapper script.
