What is PAGES file?
The PAGES file format is used by Apple's Pages word-processing application as its native file type. It is a proprietary format, and the exact layout of a .PAGES file is unknown to any user who does not utilize Apple's software. It is a modern document that can contain text, images, tables, graphs and pages, all of which are stored in a single file. Apple Pages documents are supported on a variety of platforms, including macOS, iOS, and even Windows, via iTunes for certain devices. [ ⏩ ] PAGES file extension

How to convert the file from PAGES to MSG?
To successfully convert the PAGES file to MSG, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.PAGES).

What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. PAGES to MSG. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting PAGES files to MSG files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension MSG, while before this step we had the PAGES file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new MSG file, or not.
