Encrypted PDF showing as "Untitled" in iBooks reading view

I've added an encrypted PDF file to iTunes and synced it with my iPad.
Before doing so, I opened the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Pro and edited the metadata to include the document title (which is identical to the filename). I then password-protected it, selecting the option that encrypts all content except for metadata.
In iBooks, the PDF is displayed with its correct title in Library view but when I input the password and open it, the overlay text in Reading view says it is "Untitled".
However, if I add it to iTunes as an unencrypted PDF it displays correctly in both Library and Reading view.
I would prefer it if I could keep this file encrypted. I know it's just a minor inconvenience but I can't see why the title should fail to display in Reading view once I've opened it.

Update:
I went to the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store yesterday and was given the following steps that will remedy the problem with the PDF's
Drag and Drop PDF's directlty from MY Documents (if you are using a PC with Windows XP) and put the PDF's Directly into the Book section in the Library in iTunes.
Then Sync the iPhone in iTunes and the PDF's will display with the names you have chosen.
Do Not Email the PDF's and open them in iBooks or the PDF's will display with the name Untitled.
Note: Be sure to delete the PDF's that are displaying as "Untitled" from the iPhone first as well as the PDF's that are on iTunes as the original cryptic PDF File Name. Then Drag and Drop a fresh Copy of the PDF's and put them into iTunes. After syncing the PDF's will display in iBooks with the name you have chosen.

All of a sudden if I amend a PDF files title in Goodreader or Save to PDF, then transfer it to iBooks the file shows up in IBooks with the title, UNTITLED. Has anyone else experienced this?

I change the title of certain files I use for work in Goodreader or Save to PDF then transfer to iBooks for use. All of a sudden no matter what I name the file it turns up in iBooks as UNTITLED. Anyone know why?

If you add the files to the Books section of your iTunes library, then change the title field by right-clicking and 'Get Info' and then sync it, it should display correctly in iBooks' Library view.
However, in my experience, it's best that the filename matches the document name as it's the filename (minus the .pdf) that displays as an overlay when you're in Read view.

Metadata of encrypted PDF in iBooks

Hello everyone,
I got some encrypted PDF-files (document's content without meta-data is encrypted, opening files without keyword is possible, keyword required for modifying the file).
The meta-data of these files (author, title) are readable in applications as like Adobe Reader oder Adobe Digital Editions.
Using a Text Editor, I can see the meta-data in the XMP of the PDF-file.
Unfortunately, the author and title are shown in cryptic letters in iBooks.
Does that mean, iBooks doesn't support the XMP-Meta-data?
Is this a possible feature of upcoming versions of iBooks?
Anybody out there knowing about an other App supporting XMP in PDF?
Thanks for your input,
Thomas Mertens

"When I select open in iBooks, iBooks opens and the PDF shows as thumbnail then goes away." please help
My iBook has at least 350 PDF file, some of them big i.e 40 MB

Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it. I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

My iBooks app now displays all PDF's as "Untitled"

Good Morning:
My iPhone 3GS is now displaying all new PDF's with the title "Untitled" in my ibooks app. This started after the recent iBooks update. The previous PDF's I have on iBooks from before the update all have the titles of the PDF as it was listed in the Email that the PDF came from. How can I change this so that I will be able to see the PDF titles in iBooks again.
Thanks Very Much!

Trouble with Adobe Reader Touch on Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode. Pdf shows up as blank pages.

I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 and when I change it to tablet mode and use the Adobe Reader Touch app, my pdf shows up as a blank page. I have installed other pdfs in the past and those show up fine. However, as of three days ago, whatever pdf I install shows up as blank on my screen. Is there a solution to fix this?

Could you please share your test file?
You can send the file at [email protected]

I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device

I have Adobe Reader X on Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Printer for Adobe PDF show up in my Hardware/printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers?

Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...

How to center text in Pages to show correctly on iBook Reader

Hi,
First, I have to say that I posted the same question on ''Creating ePubs'' discussioun page but nobody could help.
I am trying something really easy but could not solve it. Hope someone can help.
Ok, I know that if I choose ''Chapte Name'' as a pharagraph style, iBook reader automatically puts it into a new page, so the new page starts with the chapter name on top. I dont have any problems with my chapters.
However, I want my book to start with a page that has a brief info about the author. I want this info in the middle of the page (also centered in the middle). Than I want to go to the second page with a ''dedication'' part where I write my thanks to people. I also want this in the middle and centered. And finally I want to add my book title and author name together on the 3rd page. After that the chapters will start.
So, as I told you, the chapters work just fine. But when I try to center the text in the first 3 pages, (I press return several times on my keybord to do it) the pages interwine with each other. For example, the last part of page 2 goes on top of page 3.
I think this happens because I press the return key to center the texts. So, is there a way to lock texts to the pages where they belong to prevent them to interwine with other pages even if I press return to center the text
OR
Is there another way to center text to prevent them to interwine with other pages...
Thank you

One of the consequences of working all night on this was that there is errata, or improved insight.
As I mentioned previously, each of the four document parts that I tested is in its own section. This means that each of the first three document icons, in thumbnail view, has its own distinct yellow race track around it. The chapter/body text is in a fourth multi-page section.
On the first page, with invisibles and layout mode shown, I have a ¶ (pilcrow) showing on line 1, column 1. If I place the cursor before this mark, the text inspector shows the following:
Style is body
Character spacing is 0%
Line spacing is single (1)
Before paragraph is set to 172 pt.
After paragraph is set to 6 pt.
Now, if I place the cursor before the About the Author string:
Ruler set to 1.6 inches
Style is Heading 1
Character spacing is 0%
Line Spscing is single (1)
Before paragraph is set to 196 pt
After paragraph is set to 6 pt
Place cursor between end of Author and Pilcrow and press return.
With the cursor before the author description:
Style is body
My font choice was Baskerville, Regular 12 pt.
Left ruler set to 1.6 inches. Right ruler to 6.2 inches.
Character spacing is -4%
Line-height is set at multiple (1.2)
Before paragraph is 0
After paragraph is 12 pt.
Position cursor between last character and pilcrow - press return.
Insert section break
This is all there is too my first page:
For the Dedication page:
Line 1, Col 1 has the pilcrow and style is body
Character spacing is 0%
Line height is single (1)
Before and After paragraph are set to 0
With the cursor just before Dedication:
Left ruler set at 2.6 inches
Style is Heading 1
Character spacing is 0
Line height is 1.5
Before paragraph set to 190 pt
After paragraph set to 0 (yeah, raised my eyebrow too)
Place cursor between trailing n and pilcrow, press return.
With cursor on first line of names, just prior to first character:
Style is body text with Baskerville Regular 12 pt override.
Text justification is left.
Left ruler is set to 2.9 inches
Right ruler is set to 6.7 inches
Character spacing is 0
Line-height is 1.2
Before and after paragraph are 0
Insert cursor before last Pilcrow and press return
On the next line, there is a Pilcrow at col 1, place the cursor in front of it.
Style is body style
Character spacing is 0
Line-height is multiple (1.2)
Before paragraph is 0
After paragraph is 216 pt.
Press return to set the jump.
Insert section break
You can likely insert step 14 at step 7 and skip 9 - 13. It was late.
The Dedication page looks like this:
Hopefully, you missed something, or it wasn't sufficiently explained previously. I hope you can duplicate the above and discover unique, centered content in your ePub.

I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don't want my buyers to have to hassle with rotating.

I don’t want to hassle my buyers with rotating. There was no option in Preview to account for this automatic and unwanted rotation.

Then you rotate it and SAVE or SAVE AS and it will remain that way.

HT4059 Could ibooks read parts of a book or pdf for you? And if it could than how?

could ibooks read parts of a book or pdf for you, and if it could how?

It is the publishers who have to take the decision that they are willing to give Apple (or Amazon or anyone) the rights to distribute their products that way before anything else could be done. I think the idea needs to be sold to them first. It would be analogous to what some movie companies now do -- when you purchase a physical DVD from them, you also get rights to download a digital copy which can legally go on your iPad. Apple's not involved in that case.

I use ibooks reading PDF documents. How can i mark text in PDFs in ibooks?

I use the application iBook reading PDFs. How can I mark text in PDFs?

For Tagged PDF the replace page approach ought to be avoided.
The behavior seen when replace page is used for an existing page having annotations is not present.
Insert of a tagged PDF into another PDF can be a problem as well. The "incoming" structure tree is always placed at the end of the existing structure tree.
Manually remediating this can become nasty very quickly.
Using the Touchup / Edit text tool on a 'good' tagged PDF ought to be avoided as well.
Be well...

You could try asking in the Pages forum
https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages

Page on pdf shows just a white page. But fine on other readers (ie iBooks)

The page is made up of one gradient in the background, text and a couple of vector files.
I can tell that the text is there, as I can hightlight the areas where the text should be (in editing tools)!

It could be an issue with the iOS Reader or the pdf file. What version of Reader for the iOS are you using? Can you look at the pdf on a Windows or Mac machine and look at the document properties and see what application created the pdf? Can you post a link for us to look at the pdf file?
