You have to first get the pdf into your iTunes library, save it to your computer then drop it into iTunes. Then go into Get Info for the pdf and change its Media Kind to "Book". Then sync it back to your iPhone as a book and you should be good to go. I don't think you can do this without iTunes though.

No signature when sending PDF through IBooks on IPhone 4GS

When sending a PDF from IBooks on my IPhone, The Email Signature appears in the body of the email as if it is going to be sent with the email. The recipent of the email will not see the signature in the body of the email. It appears like a text file in the form of an attachment. Is there a fix or work around to this?

So I sent an email from iBooks to myself and my signature came through just fine. Not sure how you might solve your missing signature. Are you running iOS 5.0.1?
You might try a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
This seems to correct numerous problems on the iPad maybe it will help you.

How can I open a PDF in iBooks on iPhone 5s?

I have PDFs in iBooks. When I try to open them it says I should open them with Adobe Reader. I downloaded Adobe Reader but can't seem to get the PDFs to open with it.
I found a previous thread saying that you can't use Adobe Reader with iBooks, but that was before the 5s came out, so I'm starting a new thread. If you can't open a PDF from iBooks with Adobe Reader, why is it telling me to use Adobe Reader? And how else can I open it?
This shows what happens when I try to read my PDF, and click on the icon that's supposed to let me open it in Adober Reader:

This particular file is a PDF Portfolio, which needs Flash to display correctly. When you open a PDF Portfolio in the Adobe Reader mobile it will open in list view to get around the fact that Flash isn't supported on iOS. So, it won't open properly in a native viewer on iOS only within the Adobe Reader.

HT204365 How to transfer PDF in iBooks from iPhone to iPad using only wifi

Hi
I want to transfer PDFs currently present in iBooks of my iPhone to iPad without connecting both of them to iTunes . Is there any solution to transfer those files using only wifi network?
Many thanks in advance
-prism

You will most likely be able to do that kind of stuff with the upcoming iOS 5, releasing october 12th.
put your photos / videos on the cloud, access them on your other devices..
You can also backup your phone.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Where is the iTunes 'Books' library? Want to add pdf to iBook app

I have been looking for over an hour... there is nothing on my computer screen for iTunes that says 'Books' - I want to bring a pdf book into iBooks. How can I do this. Previously answered questions on this say to drag the pdf to the 'Books' library which would be fine if it existed. Off to the left of my screen I see only "Movies, Music, TV Shows and Apps" then Store and then Purchased and then my iPad which is plugged in.
Can someone help me solve this issue I have every time I want to add a book to iTunes to the iBook app on my iPad, I have already gone to File > Add to Library and it acts like something happened but there is no PDF book showing up in iBooks or my Adobe Acrobat app. What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Ken

I found the app and put it on the dock and added the pdf but in iTunes it wants me to do a dangerous action, removing all music tones,,, and a long list of other things, like books that don't show up in this new iBook app on my Mac, I don't want to risk losing all of my PDF books and other books that are now on my iPad. Things get sticky and I've already lost tons of stuff by upgrading to Maverick in the first place. I think the warning message was enough motivation for me to forget about iBook and use another more friendly app like iAnnotate to bring in PDF files. Whew, well at least I know that there are apps out there that can be more friendly than the Apple apps., like I've abandoned 'Notes' and am now using Evernote which keeps backups in the cloud which updates to all of my divices. Thanks sberman, you did lead me to the correct answer on this. I'm just not going to chance losing everything.

Why can't I add a playlist of PDFs to iBooks?

I have added a few hundred PDFs to my iTunes library. I was then able to add these PDFs to a playlist with some videos and music. I can simply select the playlist under videos and music and easily add all the audio and movie files but when it comes to adding the PDFs I still have to do this manually one by one to iBooks. There is a similar question to this one asked in an existing thread but I have a bigger question in mind. Why would iTunes let me add the PDFs to a playlist if I can't even add a playlist to iBooks? Is there some other point to organizing a bunch of PDFs on iTunes? iTunes doesn't even display PDFs. How can I add PDFs to iTunes in a quicker manner? Is this an option that Apple will be integrating in the near future?
Yes, I have used Goodreader, but I would like an easier, quicker, integrated syncing option and one that doesn't make me manually manage the PDFs. I also make recomendations to customers about how they should manage their PDF documents and want to use iBooks so that I'm not telling them they are forced to spend more $$ in order to have this feature.

No other solution at this time. Are you using iPad or iPhone?
iPad - I can understand why you ask. It's too bad you can't sync PDF playlist. Right now the only way is to use Sugarsync. From there you can "Open PDF in iBooks". Or you can use Goodreader.
iPhone - Why would you want to use iTunes and iBooks? Although iBooks is well designed and handles PDF very well even on iPhone, it doesn't have text-reflow feature which makes PDF reading useless on iPhone unless you want to loose your eye sight soon. So the only way is to sync a folder using Sugarsync. You can access Sugarsync from Goodreader.

Can't add pdf book to iBooks

Upgraded to iOS 8.3 on iPad Mini, using Mavericks and iTunes 12,1,2,27 on early 2008 MacPro
Can't add pdf books to iBooks like i used to . I normally use the add to library command to achieve this but books don't show up
Following numerous tries and un plugging iPad Mini and restarting iTunes, i searched for my iPad library in my home lib ray to discover the books i wanted to add are now in the iTunes Media folder (where my music is) but as unknown artist. I have separate libraries for my iPhone and another iPad and these show the books folder which seems to have disappeared from my iPad folder.
Also when trying to synchronize iTunes said it lost connection and could not save my iPad Mini numerous times.
Also the general info bar at the bottom of my iTunes window is now all confused as to the size and contents of my iPad Mini. I have about 25000 photos and it says i only have 235Mb of photos where it should be closer to 15 GB. The miscellaneous portion in that bar is rating this content at about 16Gb.
Can someone help ?

This probably isn't helpful, but what you did does work in 10.6 Snow Leopard.
I dragged one of my PDF eBooks into iTunes and it showed up in the Books section.
But when I clicked on it, it displayed it in Adobe Acrobat, just the same as if I'd clicked on the original file itself.
I don't see any advantatge to importing eBooks into iTunes, especially PDF eBooks ... unless you're syncing with an iPhone, I guess ... even then you'll need a good pdf viewer on the iPhone unless you convert the PDFs to ePubs.
You might also post your problem in the 10.7 Lion discussion group.

IBooks will not sync PDF collections with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but not the content?

My IBooks will not sync PDF content with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but no content. Both devices are set to sync collections? Any ideas how to fix this?

The 'sync collections' setting does not copy books or PDFs between devices - all it does is if you have the book on both devices and you move it into a collection on one of them, then it will be put into the same collection on the other device.
You will need to sync each PDF that you want on your phone. If you don't currently have them on your computer then connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and if using a Mac with Mavericks on it do File > Move Books From iTunes in the iBooks app on it, and you can then sync them to your iPhone.

Is there a way to add coverart to pdfs in ibooks ?

My pdf's i put in to Ibooks show as blank. is there a way to add coverart to pdfs in ibooks?

The image displayed for a PDF is the first page of the document. If you can edit the PDF and can insert a new title page then yes, it is possible, but it's not just a case of pasting ajpg into a property dialog as it would be with an mp3 track.

IPhone Safari cannot open PDF in iBook

I retrieved a PDF file online with iPhone Safari, while tapping on the "open in iBooks" tap at the top right side, I found out that it was not working as before, is it a bug in iOS 5?

Well, no luck after the updates. PDF problem still persists.
Beside this, it seems to have other compatible issues with website like ims.netiquette.com.sg too. A bug is preventing me tapping and keying in directly onto web form boxes , after I make item selection from drop-down menu.
This is truly a disaster...

How to synch PDF books in iTunes with iBooks on iPhone

How to synch PDF books in iTunes with iBooks on iPhone?
I am running current apps on all (PC with windows 7)
When I sysnc my iphone the PDF books in iTunes do not show up in the iBook library.
I see no place to configure the sync of books as some tutotials suggest.
Thanks!

You've selected the iPhone on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and you've then selected the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes and selected those PDFs and clicked on sync/apply to try and copy them over to your phone ? And in the iBooks app on your phone you have 'PDF' selected on the button at the top middle of the bookshelf, not 'Books' ?

How to sync PDFs on iBooks between iPad and iPhone

I have uploaded PDFs to iBooks but they aren't syncing between devices.

The best way I found to sync PDFs in iBooks between all your IOS Devices and a Mac is to TICK the "Sync with this (Your iDevice) over Wi-Fi" setting which is found in the "Summery" when you open iTunes on your Mac and select your iDevice from the top let corner of your iTunes window or from the left side column in the Playlist amd Apply.

I can't see my pdf in ibooks

I put several pdfs into my iTunes/Books, and I did a sync with my iPad, but the pdfs aren't showing up in iBooks.

It looks as though you need to identify the pdf files in iTunes as "books" before you sync them to your idevice.

Opening PDF in iBooks

Ever since downloading and using Dropbox app on iPad and iPhone 4S, I can no longer open a pdf file from safari or email attachment and read a PDF in iBooks. My only options to open in are Dropbox and Go Daddy apps. I can't figure out how to return iBooks as one of the <open> options.

I actually did change my settings so that iBooks is the default application for opening PDFs and it was visible in iBooks, but still opened in Adobe Reader. This was the main change to the system update I was really looking foward to, so I'm quite disappointed.
