Emailing an annotated PDF from my iPad

I made some annotations on a PDF form on my iPad...however, when I emailed the annotated form as an attachment, the form did not contain my annotations.  It was only the original PDF...did I do slmetning wrong or is that just the way it is?

You are seeing a problem in iOS. The PDF engine that iOS has built in, which is used by Mail, Safari, and many other third party apps, including the iOS Printing system, does not fully and properly handle the PDF specification. The iOS PDF engine will not display annotations ot form fields, even though the information is in the PDF file, and can be seen in Adobe Reader and pretty much every other PDF application available other than the iOS built-in.
We have informed Apple of this issue, and what they need to do to fix it, but they have not provided us any insight into when or whether they will fix it.
We are working on a workaround for Printing via AirPrint that we hope to have in our next major update later this year, but this will not work for sharing via Mail and Dropbox, thoiugh, because it would render the form fields and comments unusable.

  • Annotated PDF from Preview will not display annotations in iPad mail

    I have an Annotated PDF from Preview will not display annotations in iPad mail, yet, it will display them on my Macbook Air. I confirmed this with another iPad user. Same results. Any ideas.

    I had the same issue. iAnnotate PDF will display your annotations made in preview and allow you to annotate on the iPad. It is a great app, I and quite happy with it.

  • How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?

    (Well, it seems my title got truncated; originally it read: How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?)
    I've recently gotten an iPad Air to replace my previous iPad 2. I have a bunch of books and PDFs in iBooks on the old iPad, and want to transfer them to the new iPad.
    A search of Apple Support informs me that anything I've purchased from iBooks can be downloaded at any time to any of my devices (works like Amazon's Kindle system, apparently), but nearly all the content I have in iBooks on the iPad I've downloaded from other sources, so it won't be in my iBooks Store account (I might have bought one book there).
    I've also seen several instructions on how to copy all my data from the old iPad to the new via Backup & Restore, but that seems to require restoring the new iPad to factory setup, which would delete everything I have on it now – including a bunch more books I've gotten since I started using the new iPad. And I don't want to copy everything, only the books/PDFs (the new iPad has everything I want, except for the books).
    Since there seems to be no way to transfer files directly from one iPad to the other, it seems it must be done via iTunes on my MacBook Pro (and I want to copy all the books/PDFs to the computer anyway). So I connected the iPad 2 to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) and opened iTunes (11.3.1). Then clicked on the iPad's name in the sidebar to the left, and on Books below it. I see a list of the books on the iPad. I check the little boxes by all their names to select them (not sure if that's necessary, but it seems like a good idea), then click on the Sync button at the lower right, to the right of the bar at the bottom of the window with colored bands showing memory usage on the iPad. A message appears saying "The app 'iBooks' was not installed on the iPad '[name]' because the app could not be found."
    But iBooks is already on the iPad; I have it open and see the list of books in it, which matches the list shown in iTunes. The message has a "More Information" button; I click that and it opens an Apple Support article titled "iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open": "Learn what to do if you see one of these issues with an app you downloaded from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: The app unexpectedly quits; The app stops responding; You can’t open the app." But none of these apply; the iBooks app is on the iPad, and works fine there.
    The article suggests: (1) Restart the App. I've done that, no help. (2) Restart your device. Done that, no help. (3) Update your device software and your apps. The iPad is running iOS 6.1.3, iBooks 3.1.3; not the latest versions, no, but I'd rather not update it to newer, bigger, more power-hungry versions if I don't have to. Is it that iTunes 11 doesn't work with iOS 6? I haven't seen this stated anywhere.
    So instead I click the OK button on the message, but nothing further happens, so far as I can tell: None of the books/PDFs on the iPad (about 380MB) appear in iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
    I click on "Books" in the row of words across the top of the iTunes window, and it shows me the single PDF presently in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I click the box by "Sync Books", and a message appears: "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" Well, no, that's exactly what I DON'T want to do. I don't want to erase the 380MB of books and PDFs on the iPad and replace them with the single PDF now in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I want to copy the books from the iPad 2 to iTunes, so I can copy them back to the new iPad Air (if, God willing, I can figure out how to do that without erasing the books now on the iPad Air).
    I've been working with Macintosh computers for over 26 years. It's always been a fairly simple process to copy files from one computer to another. I don't want to "sync" all the data (address book, email, God knows what else) on the iPad with the corresponding information on the MacBook Pro – especially if that will erase everything on the iPad (which has information not on the MacBook Pro, e.g. 380MB of books). I just want to copy the books and PDFs in iBooks from the old iPad to the MacBook Pro, then to the new iPad, adding them to the books on the new iPad, so I don't lose anything.
    Can anybody give me a clue?

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • ? Export a pdf from my iPad

    having trouble downloading a pdf from my iPad. I need to fill out a form for a job.  The form opens in the email but won't upload or copy to pdf export  any suggestions?

    Hi thepurplerose,
    Do you have the free Reader app for iOS installed on your iPad? If not, please start there. You can get it from the App store. Then, you can open that PDF file in Reader.
    Best,

  • Can you print password protected pdfs from an ipad?

    can you print password protected pdfs from an ipad?

    This may help, but I do note that the printer you state is NOT on the airprint list. You may need to go to the app store and see if Canon has an app that will facilitate printing on a non AirPrint device.

  • Why can't I sync pdfs from my iPad to my iPhone?

    I have pdfs on my iphone and ipad but the two sets aren't identical and nothing I do can get them to sync to each other. In iTunes I have 'all books' selected under the books tab for both the phone and the pad.
    When I tick 'selected books' I can then scoll down and tick all the pdfs that I want to sync from my iPad but the pdf that I really want to transfer is no where to be seen in iTunes.  When I do the same on my iPhone iTunes doesn't even recognise a single pdf file - none of them are there.
    I have tried to drag and drop the documents into iTunes or use the import feature in the menu but niether of them work for either the iPad or iPhone.
    I don't understand why this is so incredibly difficult.

    Make sure you have their icloud email they use for imessage in their contact information before sending them an imessage.

  • HT5826 Trying to sync iBooks to save a pdf from my iPad to my Mac

    I am trying to email a PDF saved in iBooks. I have tried to sync the iPad to my Mac and the PDFs wont sync. I need to email this PDF but when I click on the share button it only shows the print option not the email option. I have updated all devices. I have also tried to sync my iPhone to my ipad to see if I could get it off that way. I have not updated my iPhone. Can any one help?

    If you already have a printer, you can probable use a program like, printopia to let your mac share your printer with the iOS device like your iPad. The catch being your computer has to be on, and not asleep, for the printer to work with your iPad.
    If you need a printer that is airprint ready, you can find a list on AirPrint, wireless printing straight from your iPad. Check out the bottom of the page where it says works with airprint enabled printers. There are even links on the page so you can buy the printers right from Apple's website.

  • How can i link my E-mail with my iPad in a way that i can delete my messages from my email inbox server not from my iPad inbox only?

    How can i link my E-mail with my iPad in a way that i can delete my messages from my email inbox server also not from my iPad inbox only?
    Because when i delete emails from my iPad inbox, it will be deleted on my iPad only but when i check my email inbox server from the browser its not deleted!
    So how can i set up this link so when i delete any email from my iPad it will be deleted from my email inbox server also?

    Hi Pierrot10,
    Insert your backup disc (or plug your external hd), then open Mail.
    In the File menu, click *Import Mailboxes* and follow the steps for a *Mail for Mac OS X* transfer.
    Navigate to your CD/DVD's or external HD's backup and hit "OK".
    This should create a new "Imported" folder in Mail with all your old messages in it, that you can then rearrange as you wish, creating new mailboxes etc.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Series email address to print from an ipad

    Where do I find the email address for my HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Series so I can use my new HP app on my ipad for printing from my ipad to my printer?
    Tina
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The A909 series of Officejet 8500 printer's don't work with ePrint. You can use the ePrint Home and Biz app for Android and Semien devices, or the ePrint app for iOS devices. You cannot, however, use ePrint itself. Sorry for the confusion. Below are links to the ePrint Mobile apps compatablity list and FAQ. Hope that helps.

    If you have an IMAP email account the actions should be synchronized across all devices, phone iPad and computer.
    If you have a POP account try Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Advanced>Delete from Server>When removed from inbox.
