I would like to be able read pdf files on icloud drive

i have pdf files on my iCloud drive and I cant read them. How can I read them?

You would need an app capable of opening them that is also capable of using iCloud Drive. There are numerous apps available in the app store, Documents by Readdle has worked well for me.

  • How to move pdf files into iCloud drive folder

    Now that we can have a folder called, say "personal" with pages, numbers and other files in - how can I get my pdf files that are currently in iBooks into these iCloud drive folders. I don't even know where the pdfs from iBooks are! Certainly not in iTunes. I have many dozens of pdfs which could do with sorting into folders with their relevant notes that I make in Pages. I have an IPad Air and an iPad with Yosemite.

    Thanks, Niel, though I underspecified the problem a bit because I knew how to do the rest in Automator; unfortunately, I know even less about Applescript.
    How do I also specify that the file names must begin with a specific text string (e.g. "journal.").

    The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with.  "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts.  In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do.  Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
    All pedantic, but please stick with me here  .
    You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
    That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
    The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
    You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
    From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
    Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
    The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
    Every Image has an Original.
    The Image is not the Original.  The Image is what you see in Aperture.
    The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
    You can make changes to an Image.
    Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
    Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database.  Let's call this file the Changes File.
    Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
    Image = Original + Changes File.
    The Image is not a file.
    Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs.  It exists only inside of Aperture.
    In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
    You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
    You may ask, "Why all the complexity?  Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?"  The answer is simple:  Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images.  Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file.  The gain in storage efficiency is huge.  The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
    Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

    No, there is not.  Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs.  You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
    Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images.  These files are called Previews.  You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab.  These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser.  These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

    1.  Can't do that.
    2.  Get memory card and save the document to it from your PC. When the memory card is in the BlackBerry you can access it just like a USB thumb drive via Windows.

    I have a PC desktop and an iPad.  I have a large library of PDF documents on my desktop that I would like to sync with my iPad.  I would like to be able to download new PDF's and make edits on existing PDF's on either device and have those edits and new PDFs synced to the other device.  I would also like to have my library available on the iPad even if there isn't a wifi connection (i.e., not on the cloud).  Is that possible.  I don't mind if I have to purchase a separate product or a product upgrade ect.

    You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
    When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

    You cannnot read an ibook on any computer, even an Apple computer.

  • While I appreciate the Adobe training videos, I would like to be able to print a hard copy of the content of the videos so that I have something to refer to without returning to the video but how can I do that?

    I really enjoy the helpful videos when finding an Adobe Acrobat answer but I would like to be able to print the content of the video so that I can refer to it for help whenever I want without having to find the helpful training video all over again and have to watch it all over it again so can this be done and if so how?? - thanks

    Thanks and yes, of course I could bookmark them but then I would have go continually go back and look at them all over again when I needed them which is not much of a time saver.
    I guess I will have to do what the reply suggested and that is make screen shots and a combined PDF file from the screen shots in order to get exactly what I want.  However, I feel this kind of  defeats the real purpose of  real "Help" in some way.  Why not offer a print option on these video tips as I know there must be others who would often prefer a hard copy for referral as opposed to having to go to a bookmarked video again, just seems like a waste of time when you are in a hurry which is often the case.

    - An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    - To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
    - Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

    According to the publisher For GoSystem Tax, the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer 8, 9, or 10 is required.  Which means it can't be accessed from an iPad.  This seems weird.  I would recommend you contact the publisher.

    There are multiple ways to do similar things. One, built into the system, is to use text replacement. See:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/31/mac-101-making-text-replacement-work/
    There are other programs you can buy that can do the job in different ways, such as TextExpander. You could also just create a clipping file by dragging your e-mail address to somewhere like the desktop, and then you can simply drag that file to wherever you like to insert your e-mail address there.

    As an example, I'm going to my email in safari, while I wait for it to load, I open an excel document, and the OS decides excel should be the front app, so I go back to safari so I can enter my login info, but halfway through my password the OS decides that excel is where I should finish typing my password.

  • I would like to be able to update my photo collection dynamically

    I have a photo album that goes through a sequence of same
    sized photos. However when I want to change the photos I always
    have to go into flash and change stuff which is time consuming. I
    would like to be able to update my photo collection dynamically by
    just changing the files in the folder in my computer called images.
    The .swf file would respond to this by showing the new sequence of
    files in this folder. This would save me much time.
    thnks very much for any advice.

    you can use an XML file to grab the images, and flash can
    parse them out and display them, then when you want to make a
    change, you could either rename the photo the same as the old one,
    or update the XML file.

  • I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number.

    Hi, my father is in the middle stages of dementia and having trouble using his new iphone. I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number. This way he can select an icon and it will auto-dial that number. I did some research and an app called SBphotoDial did exactly what I need but it no longer seems to be available in the App Store. Any thoughts?

    iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
    Make sure that the EXT Drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
