Can't open pdf file with iBook in mac

It's great to see iBook in mavericks, but everytime i tried to open pdf in ibook, it always open in preview instead even its ibook shelf already, is there anyone out there having the same issue?

"Preview is the default app for viewing PDF.
Do you want al your PDF's to open in iBooks?
Right click any PDF -> get info -> under "open with"  select iBooks"
to open a pdf file with iBooks in OS X 10.9 so I know it can be done.

So tell me, when any of this PDF files is open, what app button is just next to Apple logo ? I did it your way and i still can see Preview, not iBooks.
Like i said. You can store your PDF files in iBooks, just right next to the books which you have purchased from iBooks store. iBooks app can by used to manage your pdf files like iphoto is used to manage your photos. BUT to read this PDF OS X 10.9 will use Preview by default (unless you have other PDF Viewer set to open pdf by default).

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

  • HT204365 Can't open PDF files with iBook directly

    Every time I download a PDF file then open it with iBook didn't open directly until I shut down the iBook or the iPad then open the PDF file again, it wasn't like this befor, how can I fix it please.

    Please try turning Enhanced Protected Mode OFF in IE10 and see if it makes a difference.   Navigate to Internet Options, select the Advanced Tab, scroll down to the Security section, and uncheck the box that says "Enable Enhanced Protected Mode".

  • I can't open pdf files with Ibooks app. The files open for some seconds and then they disappear! Thanks

    Files open and disappear in few seconds!

    It sounds like the app is crashing for whatever reason. Start with simple, easy things.
    Quit iBooks and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If those things do not help - you may want to consider deleting the iBooks app and reinstall it. Make sue that all of your books and pdf files have been backed up and synced with iTunes before you delete the app.

  • I can't open PDF files with adobe flash player

    I have installed it and whenever I try to open pdf files it says I need to agree with your liscens and you do that automatically when you download it. I have followed all your instructions on your website and uninstalled it and installed again, but I can't open pdf files with it. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but it's really frustrating..

    Flash Player CANNOT open PDFs because they AREN'T Flash Documents.
    Adobe Reader opens PDFs.
    To accept the license agreement (NOT the one you accepted to download or install - the one for USE)
    Windows:
    Go to: C/Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader and double click the eula.exe file. The license agreement will open for you to accept.
    Mac:
    Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open THE FIRST TIME you open it.

    For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)  Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3  Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3  You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial: You Tube click here for DNG Converter tutorial

  • Can't open pdf file with pdf.xml file extension

    Hi
    I can't open a file with pdf.xml extension. Does anyone have this problem? How did you resolve it?

    Actually, the extension is just .xml. Anything before the period doesn't count as part of the extension.
    Your browser may be able to open it, if not see here ---->XML File (What It Is & How To Open One)

  • Can't open PDF files with IE10.

    I cannot open PDF files with IE10. I had other issues, as well, with IE10 so I went back to IE9. Then it was suggested that not updating to the latest edition of IE could lead to security issues and sure enough my computer was hacked shortly thereafter. Now I am back with IE10. How do I change the registry to be able to open PDF files?

    Please try turning Enhanced Protected Mode OFF in IE10 and see if it makes a difference.   Navigate to Internet Options, select the Advanced Tab, scroll down to the Security section, and uncheck the box that says "Enable Enhanced Protected Mode".

  • Can't open pdf files with firefox

    After searching for a certain topic on Google I've tried to open the link with a pdf file, but nothing happens.
    I receive an error message as if the Proxy that we use here at the company was refusing the connection, but in fact, I've already configured it correctly. This error started after the last update to Firefox 33.0.2.
    I've already tried to change the configurations at Options > Applications > Portable Document Format with the option use Adobe Reader (default) and use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox), and also installed an Plugin "PDF Viewer", but nothing solved the problem.
    Does anyone has the same problem?
    Thanks

    ■ Use '''Tools -> Options -> Applications ->''' <br> then look under content for Adobe Acrobat forms etc;
    <br> note a choice of options is usually available
    * see [[Options window - Applications panel]]
    Firefox is of course a web browser. <br>Acrobat reader is Adobe's program used to read and display the pfd files on your computer. Other programs may be used instead of Acrobat reader. You would normally have the Acrobat program and the pdf file present on the local computer, often both on the same hard drive, if you were opening individual pdf files directly with Acrobat.
    Firefox uses a plugin so that it may use Acrobat to open pdf files and display the results within a firefox window or tab. If you do not have that plugin installed, or it is not enabled firefox may be unsure what to do with the file and offer to save it to whatever your default local download location is, without attempting to open the file in firefox.

  • Can't open PDF files in iBooks on my iPad

    When I open a PDF file in Safari the file displays fine. When I touch the "Open in iBooks" button the PDF flashes briefly on the iBooks bookshelf, then disappears. I have tried this over and over the with the same results.
    Previously, I was able to get the PDF's to stay on the book shelf after 3 tries. Rebooting the iPad corrects the problem for getting only one PDF on the bookshelf, then no other PDF's will come into iBooks until I reboot. Since I have dozens of file to get into iBooks rebooting is not a viable solution.
    Anyone else having this problem?  My iBooks is version 2.1.1 (908)
    Richard

    I don't think it has to do with Safari.
    I create a document using Pages in iWork, then I email it as a PDF to myself. Then I choose "open in iBooks" from Mail.
    At first it would go to iBooks the first time, no problem. After a while, and I'm not sure what changed, I had to do it 3 times, just as you did, with the title briefly appearing in the PDF collection "shelf" on the 2nd try, as you said and on the 3rd time it was there.
    Ever since the most recent iBooks update, even with rebooting, I haven't been able to put a PDF in iBooks at all. I tried deleting one and re-doing it, also. It didn't work either.
    I was trying to go back to a previous version of iBooks, to see if it still worked, but I haven't figured out how to do that. In the Internet descriptions of how to revert to a previous version of an app, it says to find the earlier version in the trash, but that's only on the computer, not the iPad, right? I can't find any .ipa that looks like iBooks in my computer's trash.
    Very likely I'm just not getting it, but that is what I think I (or someone smarter than me) should try next.

  • Can't open PDF-Files with the 64Bit Photoshop-Version but with 32Bit Version

    Hello,
    our company use Photoshop in combination with PDF-Files. Normally we can open every of our PDFs with Photoshop.
    But now we have some PDFs that we can't open with the 64Bit version. If we try it the application crashes.
    But we are able to open the same files with the 32Bit version of Photoshop. We assume a bug in the 64Bit Version.
    Please contact me to get the a PDF-Sample-File because i am not allowed to append the file to a public space.
