faq
Because it is not a document in the usual sense: it is a package, a ZIP archive holding Apple proprietary content files, and Windows has no application that reads them. Since 2013 the content inside uses IWA, an undocumented binary dialect of protocol buffers that changes between iWork releases, which is why no third-party editor supports it properly. What Apple does include is a rendered PDF preview, and that is a normal PDF anyone can read.
It is the whole document as it looked when the file was last saved on a Mac, because that is when the preview was generated. It is a faithful rendering of every page, but it is a rendering: text can be selected and copied, while formulas in Numbers, presenter notes in Keynote and any editing history stay behind in the original file.
Then this tool cannot help, and it says so instead of producing a broken file. Apple embeds the preview only when the document was saved with previews enabled, which is the default but can be turned off. In that case the only path is exporting to PDF from Pages, Numbers or Keynote on a device that has them, including the free iCloud web versions.
No. The package is unzipped inside your browser tab and the preview is written straight to your disk. The alternative most sites offer is uploading the file to a converter, which for a contract, a CV or a business deck means handing a stranger a copy of it.
