I cannot link my PDF files on iPad to itunes

Gents,
I have reinstalled Windows on my desktop, and now I am trying to copy back the pdf files from my iPad 2 to iTunes.For some reason, itunes sees only 2 directories, "pfd" and "books" and ignores all other directories that I have created on the iPad. It also does not see any pdf files on the iPad that I created myself. This is rather irritating. I can read all the stuff on my iPad, but I would want to keep the copies in iTunes. What shall I do?
Sincerely,
Alex

The only good way to move an iTunes library is to first change the iTunes music folder location in preferences, and then run the command Library > Consolidate. That puts a copy of each file in the new designated Music folder.
Any other method causes iTunes to lose the files.
If you have the MP3s on the drive, and want to add them to the iTunes library, use the command File > Add Folder to Library, which will scan the folder you point it to, including all its subfolders. (iTunes does not scan until you tell it to.)

    i copy a pdf file to ipad by itune, but where can i open it on  iPad?

    How did you get the PDF into iTunes, drag to the books library? What PDF apps do you have on the iPad? If you dragged into the books library - and you have iBooks, look in there.
    You can email the PDF to yourself and it will open a as mail attachment. You need a compatible app in order to save it, but you can open it from the mail app.

  • How do I transfer pdf files from Ipad to Itunes on my windows computer

    I have been trying to transfer some pdf files from my Ipad to my windows computer using Itunes with no luck. The files are listed in Ibook as pdf files but Itunes does not recognize them as pdf fies.  Is there a way to transfer the files to my computer that I don't know about?

    You can use the desktop version of iTunes app to transfer PDF files between your iPad and MacBook Pro.
    Please take a look at the following FAQ document.
    How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
    Please let us know if you have any questions about the steps that are described in the document.
    Alternatively, if you use Acrobat.com (cloud storage), you can upload/save all of your PDF files on Acrobat.com and access them from your new iPad.

  • Ipad Dropbox app cannot open some pdf files

    my Ipad Dropbox app cannot open some pdf files. The blue download bar appears and when download is complete, the wheel spins and spins and nothing happens.
    Some files are password protected. until recently, the password window would open. Now it does not. The wheel just spins and spins and the file does not open.
    AN email attachment (pdf) which I opened in Dropbox on my iPhone opens fine.  Files saved in Dropbox from my desktop won't open. This is true for pdf and MSWord files.
    I'm running iOS 7.1.2 (11D257)

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Should that fail, you might delete and reinstall the app.

  • Adober Reader 8.1.2 will not open new page links to .pdf file

    Since upgrading to version 8, I cannot open a pdf file (from IE) if it opens in a new window. It opens local files, and links on pages that go directly to the pdf file, but not if the link opens the file in a new window. This means that I cannot open such things as my VISA statement, etc. What now?
    I have Windows XP on a Dell desktop. If it makes any difference, I also have Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 loaded on this computer.
    I really need this to work.
    Thanks.

    Nothing showed in the Event Viewer log. However, just to be thorough:
    1. I uninstalled reader 6.0.1 and rebooted. (all pdf became unassociated)
    2. I deleted any acr*.tmp anywhere on my computer.
    3. I deleted The 6.0 folder from the application updates path
    4. I deleted the 6.0 folder from my install path.
    5. I deleted the Adobe folder from my temp directory.
    6. I ran CCleaner, cleaned app files and registry and repeated.
    7. I rebooted and repeated step 6.
    8. I opened Event Viewer, backed up and cleared all events from the log.
    9. I installed 8.1.2 (all pdf became associated with Acrobat Reader)
    10. Under Event Viewer/Application the event log displays: Product: Adobe Reader 8.1.2 -- Installation operation completed successfully.
    11. Under Event Viewer/System the event log displays: The Windows Installer service entered the stopped state.
    12. I tried to launch: the shortcut, a pdf and the exe file.
    13. There are no additional events added to any level of the event log.
    14. There is no indication of activity from Reader in the Task Manager: Applications or Processes. It never appears in either.
    As a final note, I know the 8.1.2 install file is not corrupted because I copied it to another computer where it installed and runs just fine.

  • I downloaded Redear to see if it could open an old .pdf file.  Now I cannot open any .pdf files.

    What is wrong with Reader?  Having loaded it I now cannot open any .pdf file in my computer or on email.

    I gave up loading then scouring out Adobe products each time it told me Flash Player was loaded but was nowhere to be found on my system.  I have now done what I expect is the intention in that I have downloaded the full Adobe trial pack, which they then expect me to purchase.
    Cannot get over the impression that the fault is deliberate.  Building in the requirement for all users then loading a weak link, that drives you to purchase.
    Shockwave is FREE... Flash Player is FREE.... Adobe Reader is FREE... Adobe AIR is FREE... Those four products are, and always have been, FREE... Flash Professional, which is for creating and editing Flash animation and video files, is a paid licensed product. Acrobat Professional, which is for creating and editing PDFs, is a paid licensed product. Neither Flash Player nor Adobe Reader have any links to prompt an upgrade to the professional version of software for the file format. Never have. Viewing Flash content and PDFs needs to be universally available to the public who receive such content over the Internet. Creating and editing Flash files and PDFs is not something that everyone needs, so it's only available at a cost for those who need it and choose to use Flash Pro or Acrobat.
    There are Creative suites with several Adobe applications for everything from photo and graphic editing, to video editing, to making e-readers, to web design, but those are for developers of the individual media.

  • Using pages how to insert pdf files on ipad?

    using pages how to insert pdf files on ipad?    
    Anybody have any idea, have pdf files in ibook do not see where to insert pdf's.
    Also trying to get word files onto ipad using drop box, do these word files need to be saved in another format?
    Also for pages.
    thnx

    No - the Word files do not need to be saved in any other format if you have Pages on your iPad. There are other apps that provide better compatibility than Pages but it will work for you. You have to have DropBox on your PC and the free DropBox app on the iPad to use DropBox to transfer files.
    To send the file using DropBox -  make sure DropBox is running on your computer. Then place the file in one of the folders that you have set in your DropBox folder on your PC. Launch DropBox on your iPad and find the folder that you placed the file into and tap on that folder. Find the document and tap on it. It will open in the window on the right. Tap the arrow icon in the upper right corner and select Open in Pages.
    If you have pdf files in iBooks that you want to put into Pages you have to email them to yourself and use the Open In feature when you open the email. You cannot send a file from iBooks other than to email it - at least I am not aware of any other way.

  • Problem linking to PDF file from generated help

    I am using RoboHelp HTML, Version 7.02 to create WebHelp, and
    I cannot open a PDF file that I linked to some text in a topic. (I
    created a PDF file that contains all of the help system's topics so
    users can print them all.)
    I can open the PDF file just fine when I preview the topic,
    but I cannot open the PDF file from the generated help system. (I
    set up the link to open in a new window.) When I click the link for
    the PDF file, nothing happens, not even an error message. If I
    right-click the link and select Properties from the menu, the
    Properties dialog box shows the following path to the file:
    file:///C:/Users/Myname/Documents/My%20RoboHelp%20Projects/project%20folder%20
    name/!SSL!/WebHelp/print_all_help_topics.pdf
    To create the link, I first copied the PDF file into my
    project folder, Then I right-clicked the Baggage Files folder and
    selected New>Baggage File, and clicked Open to add the file to
    my Baggage Files folder. Then I dragged the file name from the
    Baggage Files folder onto the selected text in my topic, saved all
    and generated the WebHelp.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi Rick.
    Yes, mark of the web is selected. I just turned that option
    off and re-generated and the PDF opens just fine, but of course,
    I'm getting the Internet Explorer message that my browser is trying
    to restrict the webpage from running ActiveX controls ... I was
    using mark of the web so that my customer's users won't get this
    message, although I don't know what ActiveX controls my help system
    would be running. I'm just hoping that my customer doesn't balk at
    this message appearing. Is turning off mark of the web is my only
    choice for getting the link to work?
    Thanks for your help and your welcome message. In case you
    can't tell, I'm a newbie to RoboHelp. BTW, your website was
    invaluable in helping me to create the link to begin with. Thank
    you!

  • How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

    Hi All,
    I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
    So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
    Can any one tell me about this?
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi,
    I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
    It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

  • Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac.  Pages only recognizes text.  What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

    Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac.   Pages seems to only recognize text.   What app is recommended for pdf documents?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
    Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
    They will show up in the iBooks application
    (If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
    Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
    One is Books, the other is Collections.
    Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
    Tap PDFs and you're there.
