How to import pdf files to iPad

Brand new to the iPad community!
How do I "import" pdf files to the iPad, for use by pdf reader and/or annotation apps?
I have some of the appropriate apps, but whenever I try to sync pdf files ("books"), I get a message that I need iBooks to read pdf files. And when I install iBooks, I see my pdf files but only in iBooks, not the other apps!?
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks all for helping with advice -- there's lots to learn moving from a PC laptop environment to a brand new iPad. Even so, e-mailing yourself as a "file transfer" seems like merely a high-tech version of "sneaker-net", as well as a waste of ever-scarcer bandwidth! And DropBox is only an alternative for non-confidential stuff, the Patriot Act makes it's use (for that matter, even the use of e-mail or the cloud generally) nfg for anything confidential -- in my case, client financial & tax data. So I knew there HAD to be a non-wireless way to do it. So thanks, Fred!

PDF Reader for IPAD 2: how to import PDF files in the library

I have installed the "PDF reader" app and it is a great one. but can't import pdf files that are already in my IPAD (I see them in iBooks)

Documents associated with a specific app, such as iBooks, are not available to other apps on the iPad unless the app that they are associated with is capable of sending docs to be opened in another app, such as GoodReader is capable of doing. iOS is a much less open system than a computer OS like MAC OS X or Windows, there is no central documents folder which various apps can browse to and open.

How to import PDF image into Pages manuscript that is larger than the text bed margins

How do I import a PDF image into a Pages book manuscript, whose dimensions are larger than the global text bed margins? Any imported PDF image is automatically shrunk to fit within the text bed. I know I can set up a single page with wider margins and a text bed within it, but I want the image to import to a page already within the manuscript sequence, where the text bed margins are set and constant.

By default it should be dragging in as a floating image and not part of the text.
What version of Pages are you using?
In Pages 5 this is:
Format > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page > Size > Original size

Problems Importing pdfs into iBook and sync to iPad air 2

Is there a solution to what appears to be a widespread problem within the community? That of not being able to import books in pdf form into iBooks and subsequently syncing with an iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1. This seems to be specific to pdfs not 'purchased' from iTunes. In the past I have had all my software manuals available on my iPad, synced with my iMac, all working happily and would dearly love to return this situation.
I then upgraded to iOS 8. Big mistake. iTunes on the iMac (OS 10.6.8) does not sync pdfs to new iPad.
Try syncing from MacBookPro (OS 10.10) still no luck.
There are suggestions to use iTunes, but there is no longer an option to view 'Books' in iTunes.
Can anybody offer a work around until such times as the collective 'apple digit' is removed and a not so 'minor bug' is fixed?
Are Apple working on this problem or even aware of it?

Have you tried the shortcut to add books/pdfs Command Shift O?
Command Shift O is not available in iBooks (Greyed Out)
Command Shift in Finder shortcuts to Documents
Maybe I didn't explain myself very well earlier. When I am working in iBooks, having control clicked multiple files and selected 'Open With iBooks' to get the pdfs into iBooks, (as per your suggestion) a click on a pdf icon initiates nothing, a double click causes the pdf to open in Preview. This I can achieve from the Finder.
The reason I haven't tried to sync from the MBP is that I rely on iPad iBooks as a reference source. At the moment it is working but not the way I want it to (Sync via iMac 10.8.6). When Ibooks on the MBP is finally OK, then I will try.
Thanks for hanging in there.

How to import pdf files in Premiere Elements 8

Hello,
I'd like to know if there's a way to import pdf files in premiere elements 8, becouse if I try to import it in "project" it gives me an error saying "this type of file is not supported".
Thank you
Sebastian

Unfortunalty it's not working for me yet. If I try to import the PDF (single page) into the project, the progress bar reach 100% but then says: "the file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed". I have Acrobat Reader 9.3 installed too.
I've uploaded one of the PDF's that I want to use if you want to test it yourself:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YB7NT4QR
One of my coworkers says that I may need Adobe Bridge to do so, is that correct? Otherwise a simple "pdf to jpg" (or other image formats) could solve the problem.
Thanks for your support.

How to import pdf with hyperlink and and maintain its hyperlink while exporting it as HTML?

We can import pdf in indesign either using plaacemultiplefile script or using place submenu under file menu but both of them import pdf as graphic object and lost its all hyperlink. no doubt when i again export its as pdf than hyperlink are there as it is but when i export it as HTML,IDML or other format than than all hyperlink are lost so is there any way to maintain this if no than is there any way to write some new script utilities which will do the same .one solution i think is first convert pdf into docx and than import it as docx indesign import it as text frame and maintain all hyperlink but in this process pdf file lost its some formating while converting it into docx .

I probably should've remembered "rtfm" before writing all that. It seems to me now that I need to create a Master Page for each of the different layouts, then dynamically select the one I want to use at run-time, maybe with a script event ? The Master Page creation is a bit messy ... the only way I seem to be able to get multiple Master Pages is to open each Word doc, let Livecycle import it, then copy all the content into a new Master Page in my main document. That is, there doesn't seem to be a way to import a series of Word docs directly into separate Master pages of a single Livecycle form. I'll continue with the "read" part of "rtfm" ...

How to import pdf files as booklets - and not as books in 9.2

After having being very fond of the possibility to include booklets (or, in my case, sheet music) in pdf format into the main music library, I can't find the way to do it in version 9.2. It still imports the pdf, but puts it into the Books department. The old pdf files are still in the Music library.
Any help?
Thanks,
Walt

This change of behaviour is most annoying, and to my mind is further proof that the primary function of iTunes as a music player/organiser has been lost sight of in the welter of iPod/iPhone/iPad 'features'.
I find that I can still import PDF booklets into the main Music library, but they no longer merge with their related album as they used to when Album Title and Album Artist were set appropriately. What you need to do now if this is what you want to happen is Get Info on the PDF booklet after you import it, and change the Media Type to 'Music' in the Options tab (iTunes 9.2 sets this to 'Book' by default).
It's a nuisance to have to perform this additional step, but at least it brings back the previous behaviour.

How to sync pdf in ibooks

Hello,
This should be simple, but somehow it doesnt work for me: When copying pdf in ibooks, and organising them into collections, the pdfs are not synced between my different apple devices. The collections are synced, but only the titles, without the pdfs in it!
What am I doing wrong or is there a way to enable pdf syncing in ibooks between different devices?
Thanks a lot
Christian

PDF's won't sync, only purchases from the store will do that.

How to sync PDFs on iBooks between iPad and iPhone

I have uploaded PDFs to iBooks but they aren't syncing between devices.

The best way I found to sync PDFs in iBooks between all your IOS Devices and a Mac is to TICK the "Sync with this (Your iDevice) over Wi-Fi" setting which is found in the "Summery" when you open iTunes on your Mac and select your iDevice from the top let corner of your iTunes window or from the left side column in the Playlist amd Apply.

How to Sync PDFs on iBooks over to MBP?

I think it was last year I was able to do this but right now I can't. My PDFs on iBooks never go to my Mac anymore. iBooks sync is selected under iPhone sync preferences.

Delete please. Everything was synced on the third attempt.

Importing PDF to iBooks Author

I have a double column book in PDF format of over 300 pages. Is there some way (other than dragging and dropping each of the hundreds of pages into iBooks Author) to import this book into iBooks Author with correct formatting?

Calibre might work.
The dual column could be an issue though.
If it doesn't work, here's a "How To Geek" article on the topic.
http://www.howtogeek.com/80098/convert-pdf-files-to-word-documents-and-other-for mats-2/
There's a bunch of online options given here. I think they're all free for documents up to a certain size.
Cheers,
Geoff

hello, how do i transfer pdfs i have in my ibook app onto my computer? when i plug the iPad in and open iTunes,ibooks isn't showing to sync, i don't want to lose the pdfs, so i haven't synced yet. thanks, tony.

If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to the Books part of your iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option - that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks purchased from iTunes.
