How do i add a pdf to ibooks

I subscribe to the digital edition of Photoshop Elements Techniques magazine, and I download it as a pdf on my MacBook Pro. I would like to use iBooks as an easy way to read pdf's on both my MBP and my iPad. When I try to drag a PET isisue to iBooks, or import it from within iBooks, I get an error message saying it is not the right format. I have done it in the past, and have also added recipes I have saved as a pdf and successfully added them to iBooks, but cannot remember the how i did it .
I realize I want to use iBooks is a way that it is perhaps not intended to be used, but this is a really good way to collect pdfs in one place to use across my devices. If someone knows of a better way, I'm all ears. Thanks for your help!

Control click the pdf > Open in ... iBooks. It is possible that the pdf you are having trouble adding to iBooks is incompatible with it, but most pdfs can be added. I've never struck a pdf yet that can't be opened in iBooks.

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.

How do I add a PDF file for download to my iWeb page?

How do I add a PDF file for download to my iWeb page?
I have created one using Apples Pages program.
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 can I open a PDF in iBooks on iPhone 5s?

I have PDFs in iBooks. When I try to open them it says I should open them with Adobe Reader. I downloaded Adobe Reader but can't seem to get the PDFs to open with it.
I found a previous thread saying that you can't use Adobe Reader with iBooks, but that was before the 5s came out, so I'm starting a new thread. If you can't open a PDF from iBooks with Adobe Reader, why is it telling me to use Adobe Reader? And how else can I open it?
This shows what happens when I try to read my PDF, and click on the icon that's supposed to let me open it in Adober Reader:

This particular file is a PDF Portfolio, which needs Flash to display correctly. When you open a PDF Portfolio in the Adobe Reader mobile it will open in list view to get around the fact that Flash isn't supported on iOS. So, it won't open properly in a native viewer on iOS only within the Adobe Reader.

How do I add a PDF to iPad 2 with Yosemite and iOS 8.1?

I recently migrated my iPad 2 to iOS 8.1 and my iMac to from Snow Leopard (10.6.8, I think it was) to Yosemite (10.10). Now it is not at all obvious how to copy a PDF from the iMac to the iPad 2, and I could not find instructions in the online help.
Before migrating to Yosemite, I could copy a PDF to Books in iTunes and then sync the iMac and iPad 2, and I would get a copy of the PDF on the iPad 2. Now iTunes no longer has a place for Books (which used to include PDFs)—its Books are only iBooks or audiobooks. I can copy a PDF to iBooks, but when I sync the iMac and iPad 2, I do not get a copy of the PDF on the iPad 2.
I might be able to transfer the PDF to the iPad 2 using DropBox, but if there is a way that does not involve the cloud, I would prefer it. I cannot use DropBox on my iPad 2 unless I'm in a wifi zone, and I don't have one at home.
Does anyone know a way to copy a PDF from an iMac running Yosemite to an iPad 2 running iOS 8.1 that does not involve DropBox or a wifi connection?
Thanks,
Sheila

I didn't get a chance to try this today, because the PDF that I emailed to myself wasn't on my iPad when I looked for it there—that is, the message that I sent to myself wasn't there. I probably made some stupid mistake. However, I discovered that I can open iBooks on my iMac, click PDFs, drag the PDF into PDFs on iBook, and sync the Books on the iMac and iPad. Before clicking Sync, I have to find the list of Books (which includes PDFs) on the iPad and select the new PDF. The difference between what I was doing on Snow Leopard and what I am doing on Yosemite is that on Snow Leopard, I could drag the PDF into iTunes (under Books) and on Yosemite I have to drag the PDF into iBooks (under PDFs). The sync'ing part is the same.

How do you add master items in iBook Author?

Everytime I add a page to my book the same interactive image window appears as if it were a master item. How do you add master items and how do you eliminate it from happening on subsequent new pages?

Onnie Clem - There are master layouts. To uncover & use them go to the View menu and select Show Laouts (3rd iten down). They appear in the top portion of the sidebar. Make universal changes here.

How do I add audio to the Title page of an ebook I am creating with ibook author?

Everytime I add an audio file to the iWeb page a "Drop Image Here" appears with the audio control. Is there a way to eliminate the box for the image?
If you don't put a picture in the area and publish all you'll get on the published page is the controller as shown here: Embedtests.
You do know that if a visitor click on the small downward pointing triangle at the right of the control bar you get the option to download the file, right?
Click to view full size
However, having a download link to a zipped file as Riddy suggested would be more apparent to those who might not know about that feature.
