Can you rename pdf files in ibooks?

I download many PDF files onto my iPad to read using iBooks. But the PDF files are stored on the iPad with non-meaningful names (like QL-BHZfG9dl). Is there any way to rename these things so that I know (without opening them) what the files are??

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.

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?

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).

Rename PDF files using iBooks

Hi everyone!
Is there a way to rename a PDF book in iBooks? I could have done this when I used iTunes but after upgrading to 10.9 I can't rename these "books" anymore.
For instance I managed to change the Title and Author fields easily in iTunes, but I can't do this in iBooks. Is there an answer why the users can't do this?

I found a clumsy, but effective workaround for your problem.
1. Open the PDF up with Preview (use your Finder to find it, the right-click "Open with..")
2. Choose File>Print then choose "as PDF"
3. In the Save menu, fill in the new document name above and below, and write the correct Author's name (your name will probably appear) where it sasy "Author."
4. Open iBooks, and delete the old copy (won't work if you don't do this before next step)
5. Go to the iBooks menu-bar, and choose File>Add to Library
6. Select the new PDF
You're right, hopefully Apple will fix this in a soon-to-be-seen update. In the meantime, I tried the above and it works.

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.

How can I preserve PDF files in iBooks during synch or iOS updates

I have lost many important PDF files saved in iBooks collections as a result of upgrading the iOS on my iPad. How can PDF files and other free books, NOT purchased through iBooks store that are opened and stored and organized in iBooks collections be preserved/saved during iOS updates? Same question also applies to PDF files stored in other Apps like iAnnotate.

Before upgrading you should always back up your devices. If there is any problem you can then restore to the backup. pdfs do not sync across all devices. To sync pdfs you need to connect your devices to your Mac, and depending on where the pdfs are located, you either transfer them to your Mac, or sync them from your Mac to the iPad and iPhone.

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.

Can you print pdf files from an iPhone

I'm trying to print a pdf attachment from an email directly from my iPhone. Is this possible? Do I need any special cables.

Hello Nikemac2
Any attachments you get via email on your iPhone will need to be 1. Forwarded to your email on your PC/Mac and or 2. Accessed from your PC/Mac
If you use an IMAP account then your email program should be able to access the same emails without any issues.
If your using a POP account. You can try and launch your email app and hope it downloads email your iPhone got. If it does not you need to forward that email to yourself again or maybe an alternative email address you can access on the PC/Mac
Once you have access to that email. Simply open it up in any program that can access the attachment. And use the programs print feature.
Hope this helps. And Welcome to iPhone Discussions
