Add and synch a pdf-book to Iphone

I have succesfully added a pdf ebook to Itunes and want it to synch to my Iphone. With audiofiles I use manual synch and drag the files to the Iphone, but this doesn't seem to work with books. I don't have auto synch on, and when I chose to synch books I get a warning that it will delete all music on the iphone. Now, I have no idea why it would want to delete music when working with ebooks, but that I hope someone who have tried this can answere me.
I don't keep my music files on my computer so I don't really want to start all over with the music again (it's on a backup NAS).
So, is it safe to change the synching of books without loosing music? Music is still set to manual, but I don't trust Itunes for this...

Go the app store and search for "pdf". Hopefully you will find an app which works on your device.

How do i synch my pdf/books to my library. I was able to synch my ipod touch purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.

How do i synch my pdf/books to my Itunes library. I was able to synch my ipod touch app purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.
I am afraid if i don't get the pdfs into my book library, i will lose them when i update to IOS 5-is that true?

thank you-i have to check into the authorization and the account-i gave my husband my old ipod when i updated last year so both at one time have been on this computer but as it stands, it only comes up with my device when i plug into Itunes.
i don't think i have any restrictions for installing apps although my normal way of doing it is to download from the ipod touch. i did find that all i had to do was right click on my device name and got the message to transfer my apps and then they showed up in my library. Also when i clicked the synch checkbox i was able to view the ipod touch picture without it being greyed out. after all that i was able toupdate to IOS 5 successfully except my videos and podcast, and pdfs did not come over. This confuses me since i had dragged them over to my library to make sure that i had everything in my library and on my device. Not a big problem, since i just dragged them in itunes from my library to my device but sometimes i wonder if i understand the big picture:)

Pdf books on iphone

how can i put pdf books on iphone? i have the "ibooks" app. the books are in itunes in the books folder. i told itunes to sync, it showed it was but the books dont show up in the app....
did i do something wrong? what else do i need to do?
thanks

jseth: perhaps obvious, but did you click on the PDF section in the iBooks app?
When the iPhone is connected, there are several tabs revealed. It is not clear in the messages that you have done this. There is a window further down that panel that should show all books to be synced. If you select All Books, it will be greyed out. You can check to see they are all there by clicking on Selected Books. When sure, select All Books again. You will need to sync then.

How can others publish .PDF books to iPhones?!

I have created a cooking book for the iPad using iBook Author, with some fancy layout and formatting. The book looks great.
Now I want to be able to publish it for iPhone as well.
I can see others have their cook books available for iPhone and iPad and it looks identical on both platforms. Having tried to download a few of them, I notice they behave exactly like a .pdf does (I can pinch to zoom, etc).
Now when I try to publish my book to iPhone as a .pdf I'm informed that that is not possible.
Instead I'm guided to using Pages to create an ePub file. But this does not work for two reasons:
1) The formatting tools are horrible, I have to recreate my book from scratch, and I can't get anywhere near the fancy layout and formatting of my iPad version. And the goal is to make it look exactly like my iPad version.
2) As an ePub I can change font size and font, which I don't want. I want my version to behave like a .pdf, just like everyone elses cookbook, so I can retain my fancy layout, fonts and image placements.
I really hope someone can help me here, because it seems I'm doing something horribly wrong.
Thanks in return!

This was so confusing, I looked to find out how others submit pdf-like books.
It makes no sense that I can't submit a pdf to the book store, now that other books behave exactly like pdf, and the iBook app can already handle pdf's.
Google is not my friend on this one, and I even tried to contact Apple...
All help would be much appreciated!
It can't be true that putting a .pdf of my iBook on my iPhone is easy, but putting it on the book store for others to download is such a complex prosedure you have to pay a company to do it.
Why does it have to be an epub format, when it changes nothing for the user experience and looks exactly like a .pdf?
Then something is seriously wrong.
I hope someone with knowledge on this area can explain this.
Help is much apreciated

ADOBE Forms Central - add and remove rows (PDF Form)

Hello, I am currently evaluating ‘ADOBE Forms Central' to set up a form with editable fields. I have set up a test form in ADOBE Forms Central and was unable to insert an option to add and remove rows similar to the print screen attached. Is this possible to do using ADOBE Forms Central or should I be using
a different ADOBE application? Thank you, Liz

A dynamic XFA PDF form can do this. You can create such forms with LiveCycle Designer, which was included with the Windows version of Acrobat Pro prior to version 11. It is now a separate product.
XFA forms can't be used with FormsCentral, however, only Acroforms can.

I have a PC but a friend of mine has MAC, and we're both looking for best way to view pdf documents, but not through e-mail savings. Can you please help us, by naming any good APP or anything like that.

If the app store is not available then no one can recommend an app to read PDFs except as email attachments.

How do I add and remove music from iTunes in iPhone?

I've been having trouble with my phone memory (16gb) being used up by music. I recently change setting to have it covert higher bit songs to 128 kbps which seemed to help.
I just converted to new iOs 7 and it started downloading all music from iTunes in my laptop—which overfilled the memory again.
I tried to go to manual sync and now I cannot see how to add or remove any music (and can't see the bar at the botto of the summary page which should tell me how the memory space is being used and what is available.

I don't know. It seeme to disappear after I check that I would manually sync.

Loading pdf file from iPhone Documents folder into a UIWebView

I'm currently trying to include the ability for my App to download a "pdf" file from the web,... display the image in a UIWebView,.. save it to the iPhone,... and later redisplay it in the same UIWebView while "off line". I've been able to do everything but get the web view to load/display the stored pdf file. The App finds the .pdf file...
Here's the path it finds in the Simulator...
Image File Path: /Users/FCR/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/8E29ACDF-4A56-4AC2-BFA0-C4F8E00E1481/Documents/AD_K EWR.pdf
... but I'm not much into html and can't seem to come up with a url scheme to load the image. I've tried several attempts using the URL... "file:///" ... but so far haven't been able to get the file (which is in the iPhone's Documents folder) to display. I seem to be about one line short of a workable solution.
Can anyone offer a bit of code (help) to accomplish this seemingly easy task of displaying it in the UIWebView?... It would be much appreciated!

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' ?

Hello ashlyn888,
Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

How do i save a pdf to my iphone 4s as it no longer works by connecting my phone to mac and transfer via itunes

in ios6 i would connect my iphone to itunes via cable and then transfer pdf files straight to my phone. this was quick and easy as i use a lot of different pdf files to presnet to clients.
This function is now replaced by the much older format which only allows you to sync books from you have bought using itunes!
The alternative is to email myself the files but often they are over 100-200mb and can take a long time for what was a much simpler method of plug in and drag file over
Any soloutions would be much appreciated!

If you are using OS Mavericks and iOS7 then they have changed what was once an easy operation.
Now you have to open iBooks in OSX on your Mac/laptop and add the PDF to the library (iBooks>Window>Library) by dragging the PDF there. Now when you go to iTunes you will see the PDF in Books after selecting your device. Perform a sync and it now appears in your iBooks app.
Dont know why they had to make it so difficult.

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.

When I make a Book in Aperture and print a PDF proof version, all the modified photos (marked with Badges) are totally distorted. What is causing this? All other - non-modified photos - appear to be fine.

When I make a Book using Aperture 3 and print a PDF proof version, all images that have been modified within Aperture are distorted in PDF form. All other images appear ok.

As if only the corrected layer would have remained on the photos.
So the geometry of the pictures is correct - they are not skewed or something? Only the colors and intensities are wrong?
. Only in printing when it is converted to PDF file some photos are unrecognizable.
Is it the printed pdf or the pdf viewed on the screen? If it is the printed copy you need to fix your print settings.
Does Aperture give a warning, that the high resolution images are not available?
We had some cases of books not being able to be printed, and that was due to a broken reference to the original files. Only the book could not access the originals, all other parts of Aperture could. To check for this, try to add one more adjustment to one of the images in question. Is it possible? Are the edits reflected correctly in the pdf of the book?
We were shooting with 3 cameras, Lumix5 shooting RAW, Cannon 100 shooting JPEG and SONY alfa850 shooting RAW.
Have you tried to reprocess the raw of the edited images? (Photos > Reprocess Raw)
Also try, to remove one of the images from the book and to add it again. That usually helps, if Aperture has lost the connection to the originals used in the book.
If you no have done so already, repair (and if necessary rebuild) the Aperture library.
