Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. Apple Pages preserves the full range. Rich Text Format maintains the complete dynamic range. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the Rich Text Format format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in Rich Text Format are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content.

Document conversion from Apple Pages to Rich Text Format involves translating formatting, layout, fonts, and embedded content between document models. Complex formatting like tables, headers, footers, and page breaks are mapped as accurately as possible. Some format-specific features (macros, track changes, advanced styles) may not have direct equivalents in the target format.
