I have corrupt pdf's in iBooks

I have deleted and installed fresh copies of the pdf's a few times. The main copy in iTunes is fine, but when I copy it to my new iPad, it gets corrupted. I have other books on my iPad that work just fine.
I have even uninstalled and reinstalled iBooks itself.
Curious thing as well, after deleting, uninstalling etc, when I go to open the offending pdf, it goes to the same page I was on the last time I tried. I would think that after deleting and reinstalling the software, it would open to the title page?
Am I missing a step?
Any info or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Greg

If you tap towards middle of the PDF (if you tap the left or right hand side then that will probably just page backwards/forwards) do you not get a series of icons along the top of the PDF ? If you do then tap the Library button at the top left of them and you should be taken back to the bookshelf.

HT204365 I have many PDFs in my iBooks , but I cannot transfer them out or email them? I'm trying to view them in a PDF reader but its as if these docs are permanently stuck in there even though everything is stored in iCloud. I can't figure this out.

My PDFs stored in iBooks cannot be transferred out reviewed by other apps this is very frustrating because I have many manuals documents and check list all in iBooks but it seems that once you choose to "open in iBooks" this document is now stuck trapped inside here and I am unable to view any of these PDFs with a more dance PDFReader.
Yes I'm enabled iCloud on both my PDFReader's and in my iPad for my documents. I can't even select one of my PDFs to transfer into my dropbox or another cloud storage device so again these documents which I've collected over the last few months or now trapped in this horrible PDF reading program.

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

I have many PDF files in iBooks for iPad 2. How can I get those files to sync with iPhone 5?

I Have many categories of my work brochures stored in PDF format in iBooks. iPad 2 running iOS 6. I'd like to be able to view those same PDF files on my iPhone 5. Is this possible to do over the iCloud ?
i Cannot do it via iTunes because my MacBook is 10.5.8 and apparently is not capable of getting iTunes 10.7

When I don't have my computer available, I do this by emailing the PDF to myself then open it from whichever device I need (open in iBooks)

PDF's in iBooks

I have many PDF's in iBooks, but would like to open them in Adobe Reader so I can make notes. How can I do this easily?

Unfortunately, iBooks does not provide a mechanism to export files. The only way I know of to do this is to email the file to yourself from iBooks using the share button (square with an arrow).

HT4059 When I have a PDF that I want to open and save into iBooks - it will attempt to open it and the shelf flips around to make room for it. But it doesn't save it. I have to end up opening it in Adobe or Kindle app to view & save it.

You should be able to just place them in your Books library in iTunes and check to ensure that your Book library is configured to sync to your iPod when you sync your iPod to iTunes.

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

Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks

Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

I have several pdf files in my computer which are organized in folders. I want to transfer them to IBooks (in my Ipad) and keep the folder structure I use in my computer. Is it possible to do it? Do I need any other app?

By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

TS3991 I have some Pdfs missing from in my ibooks. How do i get them back?

I have some Pdfs missing from in my ibooks. How do i get them back? My os is 7.05

Tap the cloud symbol with the down arrow next to the songs you want to download. You can also download an entire playlist by opening it, scrolling to the bottom and tapping Download All. You can download an entire album by tapping the album, then tapping the download symbol at the top of the song list. You can download an entire artist by doing the same thing after tapping the artist name.
To save on your data plan, do this while your connected to wifi (and your charger to save battery).

HT4059 If I have downloaded journal articles in a PDF format in IBooks, can I still make notes and highlight?

If I have downloaded journal articles in a PDF format in IBooks, can I still make notes and highlight?

Are they ibooks, epubs, PDFs ? If they are epubs or ibooks then you might be able to either double-tap or press and hold a word and you should get a popup with one option on it being hightlight (though at least one of my ibooks doesn't get that option) - you can drag the grab points at the start and end of the word to extend the hightlighted text. You can then view your highlights by tapping the bullet point icon next to the Library button at the top left of the screen.
If it's a PDF then I think that you will need to find a different app, I don't think that you can do it in iBooks e.g. GoodReader might do what you want.

Hello good morning ....how can I have all my PDF files in Ibooks at the same time in my iPad and my iPhone, Thanks.

hello good morning ....how can I have all my PDF files in Ibooks at the same time in my iPad and my iPhone, Thanks.

That's exactly how it's going to work. Unless you've set up separate iTunes playlists for your devices, the books will be deposited the books section on iTunes, and will appear as PDFs.
As Gus2259 said, you can use iCloud or Dropbox, or transport it through iTunes via an attached computer, or even use a cable.

Does anyone have a problem with opening PDF files in iBook after updating the program recently

I need to try to open the pdf file a few times before it goes in iBook.
It is making me look like a fool cos I use iBook for my presentation to my clients

I'm presumably having a similar problem with pdf's in ibook. It seemed to work fine until about two updates ago. We're using ipad II's with ibook (latest version as of today) for our board of director's reports. These are sometimes several hundred pages and password protected pdf's. Now the more whiney members of the board are *******' at me, so I need to find a solution relatively quickly. Is there a way to back off the updates?
What it does.
When a PDF is chosen to open from the library, ibook open a "blank" file -- showing only the ibook background.
One can try closing and re-opening the PDF and after three or four times it'll open -- seems to be random.
These PDFs are created in Adobe Acrobat 9.
