How do I add a -pdf.acsm book to my iPad library?

Help....
After lengthy reading on an independent bookstore site (Powell's in Portland, OR) I purchased and downloaded 2 e-books to my iMac (10.6.8; Intel Core 2 Duo) and then tried to put them into my iTunes library to add to my iPad 2, whose software I just updated.
Nothing seems to work.
any suggestions?

Mskathk-
A websearch found a note that the pdf.acsm is not the book, but only the "key".  Apparently it requires that the Adobe Digital Edition program has been installed on your computer.  If the program is installed, double clicking the pdf.acsm file should download the book.
Suppose you are successful in using Adobe Digital Edition program to download the actual books.  Are you sure they will be in a format that the iPad can use?
I'm not sure what all formats iBooks can read, but have been able to read epub and pdf books downloaded from different websites.

    What do you want to do specifically.  They are two different document formats - one is PDF, the other DOC or DOCX.  In what way do you wish to "add" ad PDF to a word document. You can embed a mini version within a document (copy it and paste it from within the x.doc) but that's a pretty hokey looking solution.
    Oh, its mostly irrelevant if its office 2004,8 or 11 - they all do this more or less the same way.

    Thanks!

    Hi-
    You need to create a text link to the file...
    On your page, type a word that you want to be the link... then select the word, and in the inspector pane, click the link tab (the arrow on the far right) and check "enable as hyperlink." Then choose "file" from the dropdown menu and a chooser box will open for you to locate the file on your hard drive.
    Choose the file by clicking "open" once it's located. Then the next time you publish, the file will be uploaded and linked to!
    Hope this helps... I think I got all the steps in there!

  • How do I add a "PDF printer"  print to PDF so that I can create PDFs from any source I can print ?

    How do I add a "PDF printer"  print to PDF so that I can create PDFs from any source I can print ?
    I am using ADOBE Reader X Thanks

    Pat;  using Windows you can create a "PDF printer" which is a virtual device that you can select when you want to create an Adobe PDF file from anything you normally would print to hardcopy.  As an example if I were on a webpage article that spanned two or three pages so a screen capture wouldn't really work, if I had a "Adobe PDF Printer" I would select that as my default printer and then print the webpage article.  Instead of the webpage article going to a real printer and producing hardcopy, the Adobe PDF printer would ask me for a file name and then "print" the file by creating an Adobe PDF file.  Does that help ?  Best regards,  Doug

  • How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

    How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

    If the PDF supports it then you can try opening the PDF in iBooks on your phone and use the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow) to email it to yourself (some PDFs a protected and don't support emailing) and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it to its Mail app.
    Or you can connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to your iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks) and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its  iBooks app, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

    How do I add a new Mail account on my iPad with IOS 6.0.1?

    You should not need to enter anything. the iCloud service is one of the  preconfigured options.
    Just choose the iCloud type from the Add new Mail screen, and enter your details in the next screen.
    If you don't have the iCloud option, but instead have the mobileMe option then you will need to update your iOS.

  • How can I copy the kindle format books on my iPad to my Linux PC.?

    My iPad battery is dying/dead.  How can I copy the kindle format books on my iPad to my Linux PC?  Because i understand they'll be lost when i get Apple to 'fix' my battery.

    Meg, thanks but these are Science Fiction books from Baen Books directly.  I realize I could go back to the publisher and redownload them but there are 100+ books and I'd like to avoid that.  What I'd prefer to do is to find where they are on the IPad and then copy them to my PC and then be able to copy them back to the replacement iPad.
    Does anyone know how to do that?
