iWork vector graphics

Please advise for Pages 7/Numbers 5.1/Keynote 8.1:


1. The internal format for vector graphics


2. How to find and access this within the document


3. How to edit the vector graphics other than using the Apps themselves


4. How to import vector graphics in a form that is editable within the App


What I have so far attempted:


I created a basic Pages 7.1 1200pt sq document containing a simple black 100 pt square vector graphic with no border in the centre of the document.


I saved this as a .pages package and opened it to examine the parts. I can not spot the parameters for the document, other than some printer details, nor the object contained.


I am a designer and not a coder but understand some of the basics and can read pdf vector data.


I am just starting to research this, so if you can advise where better to get the information, please do.


Thanks, any assistance much appreciated.

User-centric queries/comments such as this are perhaps best put to AppleCare's public community support forums, Apple's twitter support account and/or Apple’s YouTube Support Channel vs. risking off-topic here in the DevForums, thanks and good luck.

I don't think the Pages / Numbers / Keynote file formats are public unfortunately.


There have been some efforts at reverse engineering the format: https://github.com/obriensp/iWorkFileFormat/blob/master/Docs/index.md#snappy-compression

In particular SNZip has support for uncompressing .iwa files (i haven't tried this)

Good luck!
