This is the best option, but it's not quite perfect -- you'll lose  
alpha-channel effects, such as drop shadows on objects. You could try  
(under 10.4) use PDF-X to retain those, but I've seen minor masking  
issues in some of my trial runs.

Still, PDF will give you a very nice looking representation of your  
actual Pages document...
