Lots of times, printers just go from PDF files, so I'd think Pages would be fine as long as it puts out decent PDFs. Or save to PS first then PDF? I'm not on the graphics side.
What exactly is a "decent" PDF to you? Do you think you can save a document from the Print dialog and have the perfect PDF file for professional printing?
Spot or process? How's your halftone angles? 'Got those printer's marks down? 'What's your bleed for that press, paper and paper-size? You don't have bitmaps embedded in there, do you? Those fonts are all embedded or saved as outlines?
It could take hours for a printer to fix your "decent" PDF.
