Pages 5 is one of the more useless  apps that I’ve ever seen released by 
anyone, much less Apple.

DataViz used to have an app which would batch-convert various files. It was 
quite useful back in the day, but I think it’s dead now. Is there a currently 
available app which could batch convert from Pages format (Pages 09 or Pages 5 
or both) to a more commonly used format (.doc, .docx, .rtf, .odt, etc) so that 
they’re usable in something other than Pages 5? Assuming, that is, that there 
is something else out there that isn’t Word or LibreOffice.
