Can't find my PDF files on my iPad 1

Since upgrading to the ISO5 software on my iPad 1 my pdf files keep disappearing.

Try these simple fixes first.
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.
I don't know where you save your pdf files on your iPad but when you say they keep disappearing - with no user action involved? Give an example of how they disappear - the circumstances???

How can I view a PDF file on my IPad? I only get the first page.

How can I view a PDF file from my Ipad, both in email and Internet links? I only get the first page.

Support for viewing PDFs in emails and web-pages is built in to the iPad. You need not have bought an app for that.
There are PDF apps that provide more features than the built-in functionality, but for basic viewing of multi-page PDFs no app is required.

I can't find the .pdf file after hitting Buy Book

Hello,
I have made a book, and I am ready to order.
I click on the 'buy book' button, the book assembles, and I get to the Order Book screen.
I then went looking to preview the .pdf before ordering. I followed Old Toad's instructions on how to find it but I can find only "private/var/tmp/folders.502" file. The path specified by Old Toad is not there. I have looked in all the folders that remotely resemble the desired path but I can't find anything. I have tried Spotlight to find a pdf file created today and I don't get anything either. I am using 5.0.4. What am I doing wrong. Thank you in advance.

I found it. The path was slightly different and I didn't find it the first 5 times through. I guess I need more sleep.
The path was
/private/var/tmp/folders.502/TemporaryItems/iPhoto

I can't properly sync PDF files onto my iPad!

You see I have numerous PDF files on my iPad. But whenever I try to sync a new one I'm forced to also resync all of my old files too along with my apps that have already been synced! This is obviously frustrating because it takes 10 minutes for everything to sync! All I want to do is sync the *new* files that I had downloaded. Not the old ones because I already synced those! Also, another problem is that I can't delete the PDF files off of my desktop because when iTunes syncs the old & new PDF files it apparently searches to see if those PDF files are still on my desktop. If one PDF file is not found on my desktop iTunes deletes that PDF file off my iPad!!!!!! Wth I can't even place those PDF files in a new folder. This is very irksome because my desktop is now filled with PDF files so now everything is all cluttered and disorganized. I just want to download a PDF file, sync it, and then delete it off my desktop, or at least place it in a folder so it'll all just be in one place instead of scattered all over my desktop. Sorry if this is confusing I'm just really frustrated with how complicated iTunes has been so far when using my iPad. I have an iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4 and I never had such a problem with syncing. Help!

You must be singed into the Apple ID you used to purchase the movie. Also, not all movies can be redownloaded. It must be permitted in your country (see country list for Movies here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), and also must be permitted by the movie studio (not all studios permit redownloading). You would have to contact iTunes store support to find out for sure: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

You can not download anything from the Internet unless it is a JPEG or PDF.
PDFs go into iBooks, jpegs go in the camera roll..

How can I save a pdf file on my ipad so I can view it later

I want to be able to view a pdf file on my ipad when I do not have access to internet but I can't seem to save it on my ipad

You need an app into which it can be saved. Download iBooks or Adobe Reader which are both free in the App Store, then you can save the PDF files into one of those apps. I prefer Adobe Reader because you can annotate, highlight, rename create folders, add your signature and do some other things that you cannot do with iBooks.
After you download one of those apps, tap the PDF file in order to open it, than tap on the screen somewhere in order to make the sayer icon appear in the upper right corner. Tap the share icon and then select Open In iBooks or Adobe Reader from the resulting pop up window. That will save the file to the app.

Spotlight can't find my PDF files.

Hi all,
just bought a ipad mini.
I have downloaded Adobe PDF reader.
I have placed several pdf files on my device.
When I use Spotlight to search for a file, it can't find it.
It does not list any of my pdf files.
In Settings - General - Spotlight Search, all the items are ticked.
I have tried rebooting.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Many thanks
John

As far as I know, it's not possible to search your documents. Read here: iOS: Understanding Spotlight Search

Why can't I print PDF files from my iPad or smart phone. Just started this recently.

Not able to print PDF files from either my iPad or smart phone

You probably don't have a printer which supports AirPrint:
What Printers Are AirPrint Compatible? - iPhone / iPod - About.com
If your printer is not supported, you can buy a utility like PrinterPro from Readdle on the App Store. That's what I've used to print.

Why can't I save PDF files on my iPad and iPhone

Since I upgraded to iOS 5 I have not been able to save PDF fines on my iPad and iPhone . Yet that's want the case before the upgrade. Can some one tell me why...b,se I feel like the upgrade was a step backward than forward..

Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding. I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad. i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above. So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone. Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening. As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook. now I can't. Hope you can help. regards and thanks Vicki

Currently use acrobat 6. getting box that states: can't find adobe pdf resource files... need help

Getting a box that states: can't find
adobe pdf resource files... need help!!!

I get a similar error, but only under the following conditions: I must be printing to the Adobe PDF printer and printing multiple pages, one at a time, and then it only happens on the second and subsequent print attempts. That is to say, the first page prints just fine and this just started yesterday afternoon. The specific file referenced in the error does not exist, but why would it work the first time and not the second? Since it only started yesterday, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling this morning, but it made no difference. I don't see anything under print properties like job-options and it is a single user, unshared printer. Thoughts? I understand the same thing is happening in at least one other of our locations, but no one there has looked into it yet. This is a BIG problem for me, however, and I need to find an answer quickly.

How do I locate non picture files and location? I'm getting low memory and can't find word,PDF etc

how do I locate non picture files and location? I'm getting low memory and can't find word,PDF etc

iPads don't have a filesystem like a computer, Files of that nature must be associated with an App and reside inside that particular App's file space. So the way to find them is to open the App that opens that file type and look in its file or document list for them.

How can I print multiple PDF files at once using Windows 7?

How can I print multiple PDF files at once, on an HP LJ Pro 400 xcolocr printer without opening each
one separately using Windows 7?

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps.

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer. Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
spooling".
I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
"Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
bank statement.
So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
TO PRINT THEM.
NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.
