Convert an Apple Pages Document to a PDF

You should not turn in an Apple Pages document (.pages format) to an Assignment folder. Many professors do not have the proper software to read it, and the format is not recognized by Turnitin.com. It is a better idea to convert your Pages document to a .PDF document, which is easy to do in Pages.
