Copying/storing/reading .pdf on iPad

I have a number of .pdf files that I want to store and access on the iPad. What is the best way to move them to the iPad, and where would they be stored?
I could put them on MobileMe, but that doesn't help when I am off-line, like on a plane

I would highly recommend Goodreader for iPad. It is $0.99 and well worth it. You can put PDFs and other files on in a number of ways. There is a USB transfer available in iTunes. You can download PDFs from the web by placing a g in front of the URL. The URL needs to point directly to the file. This might work with others file, I haven't tried it.

Can I copy from a PDF on iPad and paste in pages?

I want to copy some text from a few PDF files and then save them as a pages doc - is there an app that will allow me to do this? I've tried using iBooks but I can't seem to do it!

There are many pdf reader apps for the iPad and from what I have read from other users on this site, GoodReader is a very good choice. I have no clue if any of these apps will let you copy text from a pdf and paste it into another app.
I have never found a way to copy text from a pdf that was emailed to me or from a pdf in iBooks either.
You can check out some of these for yourself.

What happened to reading pdfs on ipad after "upgrading" to iOS5? I cant find them nor can I figure out how to save a pdf in iOS5.

I cant seem to figure out how to save pdf's to my ipad in iOS5. I understand they got wiped out with the update but why did the feature go away or if it didnt how do I save a pdf for offline viewing?

Captkenrea-
It probably depends on where you are seeing the PDFs. I had not noticed a change with my iPad.
In Mail, a PDF attachment can be read there, but it also can be "Opened In" some other Apps such as iBooks. When opened in iBooks, it is saved to one of the bookshelves. If you do not see it, press on Collections at the top of an iBooks bookshelf. It may have been saved to a different bookshelf.
In Safari, often you can press and hold on a link or document, and have additional options appear.

Problem reading Pdf on Ipad

with certain pdfs I get an error message beining with the words, Please wait. The message goes on the say that if the message is not replaced by the proper contents, I should update my Adobe Reader. I have the most recent Adobe Reader app and there is no outstanding updates. What is wrong here?

agrpking,
Your PDF document is a special type of form called a "dynamic XFA form".
Currently, Adobe Reader mobile products (Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support dynamic XFA forms that are authored with Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
The message "Please wait..." is displayed when a dynamic content is not supported by a PDF viewer. As far as I know, no PDF viewers on iOS support dynamic XFA forms.
Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader on a Windows or Mac computer to fill out XFA forms.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

IBooks alternative app for reading PDFs

Now that iOS 7 successfully killed reading PDFs on iPad, is the a real alternative to reading user-generated PDFs on the iPad?

I never had a problem reading PDFs on my iPad until I “upgraded” to iOS 7. Thank you for pointing me to Adobe PDF Reader. It works very well. The only thing is that PDFs have to be uploaded (or ADDED) to the app, through the APP tab in iTunes when your device is connected, and then Sync-ed. Whereas before I would just drag PDFs into the Books window of iTunes and they would automatically be read into iBooks.
This is only an issue for user generated PDFs (even though i'm using Preview of Adobe Acrobat Pro [9.5.5] in OS 10.8.4). Web or commercially downloadable PDFs continue to work in iBooks.

Is there a way to copy all my PDfs in ibooks on my iPad?

Because I'm still sorting out an issue with ibooks on the iMac renaming files so they do not match the names on my iPad, I am wondering if there is a way to copy all the pdfs I have in ibooks on my ipad (without doing each one, one at a time) so I can save a copy in Evernote or dropbox so when I sync and update shortly, I don't loose what I have?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Michelle

Thank you.Ok say for e.g.
500 video files imported in fcpx
800 clips extracted from these obviously on the timeline and joined/compounded according to their content in say 15 layers according to 15 instruments used ,so now just to see the entire usable footage ....
now one 7 minute song sequence has to be made where bits would be simultaneously taken from these 15 layers as all instruments are playing simultaneously
these shots are not more than 2 secs each according to the beat........
when I try to work with these 15 layers as well as the Final primary layer that I'm making in the same timeline my fcpx becomes slow
but when I drag individual layer to individual timelines it is fine so that is the only option
but now for every 2 second bit I have to go back to the 15 layered timeline and find one single suitable shot
So I was wondering is there a way to be able to see these layers and clips on the timeline in the browser in a systematic fashion like the way we get with keywords ?
and keywords can only be used in the imported clips already in the browser ,and not after we drag it on the timeline.....
Till now I think exporting and importing back is the only option ...but is there another work around ?

How do you open a PDF using Adobe Reader on your IPad in IBook?

How do you open a PDF File using Adobe Reader on your IPad When in IBook?

You can't. When you're in most of the PDF readers, the Share button gives you the option of Open In another app. But iBooks does not.
You need to add your PDFs through the iTunes method which Alec wrote about here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1040579?tstart=0
Or you can use another way of transferring your PDF to the iPad, like Dropbox. You install the Dropbox app on your iPad and copy your PDF from Dropbox (cloud application). It opens in Dropbox app and you use the Share icon to move it into Reader.

Why dont i ever see downloaded pdfs in the "documents section" in adobe reader on my ipad?

Why dont i ever see downloaded pdfs in the "documents section" in adobe reader on my ipad? They only stay in the Acrobat.com section and when I try to move them the "documents" partion is not listed as an option. Only the folders i have within acrobat.com are listed

The pdfs have been uploaded to Acrobat .com (from my computer) I open the Adobe reader on my ipad and see them in the acrobat partition of the reader. I tap on them and they open. To test whether they were truly downloaded ,I turn off wifi and they still open. I consider this "downloaded" BUT... they stay in the acrobat.com partition of the reader. Nothing ever goes or lives in the "Documents" partition..nor can I move anything there.....Why not? What is the"documents" partition there for if nothing lives or can be moved there?

How do i mark my pdf so no one can copy only read.

Hey people,
I am new here so please forgive me if i write on here about something that is written .
So down to the question,
I have recently written a small document that has taken me along time to create, now when i share it i would not like people to be able to copy only read it ...
so how can i do this ...
once again i have used the adobe that was included in my computer when i bought the computer ,i was thinking i may have to purchase the full adobe to get this ??
thank you for any replies

Hey B,
Welcome to the forum!
To the best of my knowledge, you will need Acrobat Standard at a minimum to do what you are asking. It's in the security features where you can restrict access to documents and the functions people can perform within the document. I regularly use the security settings to prevent people from doing anything to the document except to read it and print it.
The purchase of Acrobat Standard would also give you unlimited PDF creation from all of the Microsoft Office Suite programmes as well as a nifty archive function for Outlook. This would be compared to only having 5 PDF creations available to you in the free version of Acrobat.com. Definitely worth looking into!
Enjoy

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

Large PDF in Adobe Reader on my iPad

I have a large PDF ( over 400 pages) but when I open in Adobe Reader on my iPad I can only get to the first 100 pages or so. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.*

Is it possible to share the file? It's possible that the document is corrupted, but it's also always possible that there is a bug. If you can share the file I'd appreciate it!

Can I copy/paste a FF Reader pdf file to a 2nd computer that does not have FF Reader?

I have 2 computers, one has Fire Fox Reader one does not. Is it possible to copy/paste by way of a jump drive a pdf file that is saved using Fire Fox Reader to the computer that does not have Fire Fox Reader and be able to open & work with that pdf file? The second computer only has Adobe Reader installed.
I already know that an Adobe Reader pdf file moved from the 2nd computer to the first will open, it opens in Fire Fox Reader.

Yes, if you save a PDF file then you can open that file with any program that can handle such a PDF file.
So if the other computer has the Adobe Reader then that program will be used.

I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad.

I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad. Mi am able to view the file in its entirety on my Mac but not on my ipad. I have tried saving it to acrobat but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions please.

Hi,
When you say the entire content, do you mean some parts of the pdf are not getting displayed or is it going out of the screen?
Please send a pdf you are having issues with on chmaheshatadobedotcom, it will help us investigating the problem.

Before, when reading PDF files, I was able to copy and paste part of the book. Now it is not possible. I can copy but when pasting gets nothing. Antes, quando lia arquivos PDF, eu conseguia copiar e colar parte do livro. Agora isso não é possível.

Caro Fabiano,
Obrigado por ter contactado as Comunidades de Suporte Apple.
Na origem do seu problema podem estar várias causas. Nomeadamente:
O ficheiro (arquivo) que está a ler pode não ser texto, ou seja, pode ser texto transformado em imagem e exportado como PDF.
A aplicação de destino (onde está a tentar colar o texto copiado) pode não aceitar a colagem de texto formatado.
A aplicação que está a utilizar para abrir os ficheiros PDF pode não ser indicada para certo tipo de documentos. Experimente o iBooks, o Dropbox ou até mesmo o seu e-mail.
No caso de nenhuma destas causas estar na origem do seu problema, forneça, por favor, mais informações sobre a origem do ficheiro (descarga pelo Safari, Mail ou outro) bem como o destino (documento Pages, Keynote ou Numbers ou outra aplicação que não o iWork).
Atentamente,
Gonçalo Matos
