Saving pdf's to ibook

when i want to save pdf attachments to ibook directly, doesn't work. have to go to screen where it asks whether to save to ibook or kindle. then i choose ibook and saves it there. however, it does not SYNC to my ibook on my iphone - the pdf is not there. why not

i thought that icloud was supposed to sync everything automatically
You are not alone in this thinking but currently iCloud really does not work this way. If you are using the Apple iWorks apps - Pages, Numbers or Keynote - those apps will sync with iCloud and the changes that you make on one iDevice will sync to another iDevice. However, the changes do not even sync to my Mac. You have to download the revised document from your iCloud.com account in order to access the file.
iCloud will sync purchases, photos via photo stream, notes, calendar entries, bookmarks, reminders and a couple of other things that I can't remember offhand. While iCloud does sync documents and data, unless the app is "iCloud ready" it really does not do any good right now.
iCloud will also store all of your data - assuming that you have it turned on in the settings - in the event that you need to restore from an iCloud backup.
I know that you can do this on your own, but start here and just go thought every link that is provided on their site and you can get a better idea of what iCloud can do.

TS3274 i am having a hard time saving PDF files in ibooks, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt!

Please help me! i am trying to open PDF files in my ibooks, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt! more doesnt!

When you open iBooks, you may see a button that says "Books". Click it and choose "PDF" instead.

How do I transfer PDF's in iBook from one device to another?

Backed up old iPad 2 on Mac. Restored to new iPad 2. At first all iBook books and saved PDF collection in iBook was there for maybe 5 seconds. The PDF's suddenly disappeared, while the books are still there! Can't see PDF's, although they are still in iBook on the old iPad 2! Any ideas appreciated.

I see the PDF files in the books tab of iTunes. The PDFs were not visible in the books tab of my device.
The sync directions said to click on the books tab. I selected the PDF button. I selected all the PDFs.
I opened sync my iPad.under files/devices and clicked on "my iPad".
The progress bar rapidly went through 1,2,3 of something appearing to be doing what I wanted but no files transferred.
I repeated the above several times.
Those were the directions under help for ios7.02
What did I do incorrectly?

HT4059 I saved approx. 50 important PDF-Documents in ibooks-App. Now all of them are disappeared!

I did the last update at 7th of Nov. 2013 before I update my Ipad Mini to IOS 7 (V7.0.3) from IOS 6.
After the update all my PDF-doucments were available in ibooks-App.
Yesterday I would like to check one of the documents and the PDF-Folder in ibooks was empty.
So what happens??
If I restore my IPAD Mini with the last backup (07.11.2013) and I open the ibooks-App again I can see all the doucments, but only for a few seconds.
After that, it looks like they will be deleted and again no objects available any more in the PDF-Folder!!!
Further I did the update to V7.0.4 but nothing changed. After restore - same result!
Could it be, that there's is a bug in IOS7?
If you have any idea please let me know.
The documents are really necessary for me.
Thanks!

Are you backing the iPad up to to an OS X-based computer? Knowing more about the systems involved will help troubleshoot.

Hi Hartsough,
The article below may shed a little more light on working with PDF files in iBooks:
iBooks: Viewing, syncing, saving, and printing PDFs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Syncing and saving PDFs
To add PDFs to your iTunes library on your computer, simply drag and drop the PDF into your iTunes Book library.
To sync a PDF to iBooks on your device:
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the Devices list on the left in iTunes 10.1 or later.
Click the Books tab in the resulting window.
Ensure that the Sync Books checkbox is enabled.
If iTunes is set to only sync selected books, be sure to enable the checkbox next to the PDF you want to sync.
Click Sync.
iTunes can backup your PDF files so they are restored to your iOS device after a software restore, update, or to transfer information to a different device. When you use iTunes 10.1 or later to sync your PDF files to iBooks 1.2 or later on your iOS device, a backup of your PDF will be automatically created. A copy of the PDF will be added to your iTunes Books library.

With iBooks for iOS and iTunes 10.1 or later, you can view, sync, save, and print PDFs on your compatible iOS device. You can also view PDF email attachments or PDFs from Safari in iBooks.
Opening PDFs with iBooks
You can open PDF documents, such as a PDF attached to an email, with iBooks:
When you view a PDF email attachment, tap the Share button in the upper-right corner.
Tap Open in iBooks to open the attachment. iBooks will open, and you can view your PDF.
When you use iBooks to open a PDF, iBooks will automatically save a copy of the PDF to your iBooks PDF shelf. These PDFs will sync to your iTunes Book library the next time you sync your device with iTunes.

PDF emergency! Need to get PDF out of iBooks

A PDF from an outlook account was saved to iBooks, and now that email is lost (deleted?). The PDF is integral to a court case that's happening at 8am (central) tomorrow (monday, july 19th).
How can we get this PDF out of iBooks and onto a computer? iTunes says it will erase the content on the iPhone if we try and sync, and I don't see any way to export the PDF from iBooks.app.

From the iTunes Library, select Books. Find and select your PDF and drag it to the desktop.

Have saved pdf files to creative cloud but ipad cannot see any files

I have saved pdf files from my Windows desktop to the Creative Cloud. They are visible there when accessed from my desktop. However when logging onto the Creative Cloud on either my iPad or iPhone it says there are "no documents to display".

I hope you're referring to the iWork program Pages for Macs since that is the forum you posted in. If you want to view Pages documents on your iPad, you'll also need to get Pages for iOS from the iTunes App Store. While you're doing that, also download the free iBooks app. There are other PDF readers, but I use iBooks.
You can use iTunes to sync documents between your Mac & your iPad. For PDFs you use File > Add to Library & they will appear under "Books." For Pages documents, you can use the File Sharing section of iTunes like in the screenshot below. You can also use iCloud.com to upload from your Mac but you will need to have your iPad connected to the internet to transfer the files from the cloud to the iPad.

Reading PDF annotations on iBooks on iPhone4

I have saved annotations onto a PDF file on my MacBookPro and have synced it with my iPhone4. When I open the PDF file using iBooks on my iPhone, the PDF loads but minus all my annotations. How can I view my annotations on my phone?

Hi Folks,
The problem is that the annotations are handled separately from the main data in the PDF, and may not necessarily save in the same format depending on what program you use to do the annotations.
Insane, I know, but the takeaway is that annotations are handled differently by different apps, so if you don't use the same app on both ends, there's no guarentee that you'll see anything. Nice fail by Adobe on the Spec there.
Check out this thread for insight: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2769411?start=0&tstart=0
In the meantime, you can PRINT to pdf, and be able to view the annotations just fine. Just don't use SAVE, or all bets are off.
Good luck.

Saving PDF on computer to read offline on iPhone

Is there a way to save a PDF on my computer so that I can read it offline on my iPhone? Often I am someplace with no phone or wifi service, and I want to be able to read PDFs that I have saved. Dropbox requires a connection to either cell or wifi. Ideas?

Thank you for your quick reply. When I am home, I have wifi and also a cable, so getting the pdf to the phone isn't the issue. It's seeing the pdf when the phone is, say, in Airplane Mode or otherwise without cell or wifi.
I have saved pdfs to iBooks, but they don't seem to show up on the phone. And the ones that are on the phone don't seem to show up in iBooks on my Mac. I have all the sync settings on, but can't make the two talk to each other.
Ideas?
You're a pal to engage on this.

Saving PDF to last folder

I have Adobe Reader X 10.0.0, PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x). I have been saving PDF's for years, and each time I save, it goes to the last folder I saved to? The other day, I had approximately 15 PDF's that had been scanned to me, and after I had saved 5 of these documents normally, it then started going straight to a temporary folder, and has done ever since, which means I have to go through all the folders to get the one I desire? I have spoken to our I.T. department and they believe its a problem with PDF and not with our system, and I believe otherwise. I can use Recent Places, but when you have done the same thing for years, and the amount I do, change is not always good
Has anyone encountered the same problem, and can help?

Hi Kat,
This is a bit geeky, but the signature appearance that you see on the page is not the signature, but just a graphical representation of the actual signature. The actual signature is a blob of hex encoded data in the PDF file that you don't really see. That aside...
When you create a digital signature the first thing Acrobat/Reader will ask you to do is select a digital ID to sign with. Acrobat then reads the digital ID and amasses some information to use to create the signature appearance. It then fills in the form field (a signature field is just a special use form field) with the appearance, BUT the signature still hasn't been created. The next thing Acrobat does is asks you to Save the file to disk. This is more geekiness, but it much safer to compute the signature byte range on disk then it is in memory. The simple explanation is it's harder for the bad guys to manipulate the bytes on disk then it is for them to control the bytes in memory and because a digital signature provides document security we err on the safe side and require the file to be written to disk before the signature is created. The other safety item is, we want to sign the signature appearance so that someone can't come along later and modify the appearance without breaking the signature, so it (the appearance) has to be created before the signature proper is created.
So at this point you've seen the signature appearance and thought that the signature has been created, but it hasn't. When you try to save to the network folder something is preventing Acrobat from saving the file and what ends up happening is the file is rolled back to the pre-signature state and the signature appearance is removed. The file is in essence untouched.
All of that aside (which is probably more than you really wanted to know) the real question is why can't the file be saved to the network folder. This isn't really a digital signature issue, but rather a network permissions issue.
