How to sync PDF files in iBooks?

When I synced only photos, all of the PDF files I had saved in iBooks disappeared.  I had chased to only sync photos, because I am not yet comfortable and confident with the sync process, and I did not want to risk losing anything else.

When I don't have my computer available, I do this by emailing the PDF to myself then open it from whichever device I need (open in iBooks)

  • How to sync pdf files in iBook on Mac to iBook on iPad/phone?

    I used to easily move pdf files I created on my Mac to my iPad by using iTunes to sync them as books.  But now books are separate from iTunes (as they
    should be), and iBooks doesn't sync my pdfs to my iPad.  I've done it using Dropbox as an intermediary,  but this involves lots more steps...  Am I missing
    something? (Yes, I seem to have the sync content options enabled both on the Mac and the iOS device.)

    From iTunes Help Menu this worked for me
    Add iBooks and audiobooks to iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    You can download iBooks to your computer and use iTunes to sync them to your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. You can also use iTunes to sync audiobooks to your iPod or iOS device.
    Hide
    Sync iBooks or audiobooks to your device
    Connect your device to your computer and select your device in iTunes.
    Click the Books button.
    Do either or both of the following:
    Sync iBooks: Select Sync Books, then click “All books,” or click “Selected books” and select the iBooks you want to add.
    Sync audiobooks: Select Sync Audiobooks, then click “All audiobooks,” or click “Selected audiobooks” and select the audiobooks you want to add.
    Click Apply.

  • How to remove pdf files inside ibooks on mavericks OS

    Hi, I tried to delete PDF files in iBooks on Macbook Pro Mavericks OS , but it is also deleting in source file.
    how to remove PDF's in ibooks without deleting source file. please help
    regards,
    bpk

    I've not long worked out how to do basic things on my iMac but have had some coaching on other forums, as it goes this happened to me this morning.
    Inadvertently, I managed to get all pdfs into ibooks and faced similar "delete" problem, couldn't drag the files out of ibooks either: Accidentally I found all ibooks info in a library through finder, took a while but right clicking "move to trash"  got rid of them but not from pages/documents!
    Re-opening ibooks initially showed the pdfs still in place, except after double clicking one a message appeared telling me the file could not be opened, then immediately the remaining books were shuffled and pdfs disappeared - still in documents though, and able to open.
    Hope this helps, there may well be an easier way...

  • HT5826 how to sync pdf file between iOS and mac

    I tried to sync pdf files stored in iBook on my iPad with the iBook on my iMac, but not all the docuemnts are viewable in iBook on iMac and viceversa.
    Which is the reason?
    Please let me know
    Thanks
    Luca

    I suspect that you haven't synced your iPad with your Mac. iBooks does not "push" new additions to its library automatically, like iCloud does; you must sync your iPad, either with a USB cable, or over WiFi, to have the PDFs sync. Make sure the PDFs are selected in iTunes too.

  • HT204365 How to email pdf files from iBook in iPad?

    Why I can only see "print" but no "email" button when i open my pdf files in iBooks? As far as i know i should be able to email my pdf files from ibooks right?

    Yes you should be able to email a PDF from iBooks. When you tap the arrow in the upper left the option should appear.
    Maybe some basic troubleshooting steps will help.
    Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. 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.
    Or .... Reboot 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.
    You may want to consider deleting the app and reinstalling. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Download iBooks again.

  • How to delete pdf files in iBooks on mac?

    Accidently, I added hundreds of pdf files from my dropbox into iBooks.
    I manually tried to delete pdf files, and I found that some of them were deleted, but the rest of them haven't been deleted.
    I tried and tried, but failed.
    I couldn't even open the pdf files at all.
    I accessed the "library folder >>> ..... >>> ibooks" and deleted all the files their, but still the "ghost" pdf files are shown in iBooks.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!!

  • How to sync pdf files on ipad wirelessly to iphone? [iOS]

    I get everyday 10-15 new .pdf files, i open them, edit and save with a new name on my ipad (adobe app)
    How do i sync those files wireless on my iphone?

    Hi,
    You can either use (a) Adobe Document Cloud or (b) AirDrop.
    (a) Adobe Document Cloud (the cloud storage formerly known as Acrobat.com)
    Acrobat DC for iOS provides the integrated support for Document Cloud.  (That's what "DC" stands for.)
    You can sign in with your Adobe ID, open documents from Document Cloud, and save or upload documents to Document Cloud in the Acrobat DC app (desktop or mobile).
    (b) AirDrop
    Share content with AirDrop from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you would like to use AirDrop on your desktop/notebook computer, you need a Mac running Yosemite.
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support

  • How to sync pdf  files without deleting existing ones

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new to the apple world and i recently bought an iphone 5 and an ipad mini. i am loving using them but i am facing a problem everytime i try to sync media. whenever i upload new stuff its automatically deleting the existing stuff. how do i upload new stuff ( media and pdf's) without deleting the existing ones ??
    NEED HELP ASAP !!!
    Thank you.

    "Upload"? What does that mean to you? Syncing form iTunes? Is that what you mean? If it is what you mean, you need to select all of the content that you want to sync by setting sync preferences and once you do that, your media should not be deleted every time that you sync.
    However if you are referring to Photos as media, Yoy can only sync one folder of photos from your computer at a time. Of you switch to another photos folder, the existing photos on the iPad will be erased.
    So if you would explain exactly what you mean and what you are doing, it will be easier to offer a solution.

  • I cannot recover my pdf files from ibooks after upgrading to os 6

    Does anyone know how to recover pdf files from ibooks after os 6 upgrade?

    In your next-to-last post, you said: "... when I recovered the iBooks app, it was empty due to having a different owner of the app."
    I'm suggesting you change the owner of the app and maybe then it won't be empty.
    You can delete/remove the app and get your own from the app store and install it.  Maybe then you'll see your PDFs.

  • .pdf files in iBooks on original iPad don't appear when trying to sync to MAC

    Original iPad has .pdf files in iBooks.  When trying to sync to MAC these filles don't present themselves so I can select them to be synced.

    Did you try using the transfer purchase feature of iTunes? I know that these may not be purchased PDF files, and it is only supposed to work with iTunes purchases, but I have done this myself with PDF files in iBooks.
    iTunes Store: Transfer purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    This feature works only for audio, video, and apps that you purchased from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer, regardless of whether they were purchased from the iBooks Store. Learn more about transferring media to your iTunes library.
