IBooks alternative app for reading PDFs

Now that iOS 7 successfully killed reading PDFs on iPad, is the a real alternative to reading user-generated PDFs on the iPad?

I never had a problem reading PDFs on my iPad until I “upgraded” to iOS 7. Thank you for pointing me to Adobe PDF Reader. It works very well. The only thing is that PDFs have to be uploaded (or ADDED) to the app, through the APP tab in iTunes when your device is connected, and then Sync-ed. Whereas before I would just drag PDFs into the Books window of iTunes and they would automatically be read into iBooks.
This is only an issue for user generated PDFs (even though i'm using Preview of Adobe Acrobat Pro [9.5.5] in OS 10.8.4). Web or commercially downloadable PDFs continue to work in iBooks.

  • How do I make Adobe Reader NOT my default program for reading pdf files?

    I installed Adobe Reader and made it my default program for reading pdf files.  I'd like to undo that and go back to "preview" as my default.

    Sure you are following instructions:

  • Increasing Font Size for Reading pdfs

    Is there a way to boost the font size (beyond the double-tap) for reading pdfs on the iphone? Something like setting the font size for email perhaps?
    Thanks.

    This is only slightly true. You can zoom in a little when viewing a PDF, but soon you reach some iPhone limit and the page gets larger as you exapnd, but then when you release it drops back. Unlike with Safari on a web page where you can make it as big as you want (well at least really really big).
    This is VERY annoying (I think I'll submit a bug about it actually) as I can't get the text big enough to easily read it. Why is there a limit in the first place?

  • I have Firefox 3.0.10 and cannot seem to find the right plugin for reading pdfs. I've installed Adobe Reader but it doesn't work. Help.

    I cannot seem to find or install a plug in for reading pdfs in the browser window. I get that yellow bar telling me I need a plug in and click to install but nothing happens or changes

    You're going to need an '''older version''' of that extension from here: <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7518/versions/
    Firefox PDF Plugin version 1.1.2 = for 3.0.x and 3.5.x versions <br />
    The latest is only for Firefox 3.6.x versions.
    '''Or''', you could upgrade to a newer version of Firefox!

  • HT5557 How to set Night mode on Ipad Mini iBooks apps when reading PDF file?

    How to set Night mode in iBooks (ver 3.1) for iPad Mini?

    It's not available within the iBooks app  for PDFs, the closest you can get is to the Invert Colours accessibility option  (though pictures will appear negative) -  you can set Settings > General > Accessbility > Triple-Click Home to 'Invert Colours', which means that you can then use a triple-click of the home button to go to white text on a black background.

  • IBooks Author app for iPad?

    Is iBooks Author available as an app for iPad or only for laptop/desktop?

    There are a number of apps available from the Apple app store which enable eBooks to be created on an iPad. They are obviously not as interactive or as functional as iBA, although Book Creator which I have used creates ePub files.
    Unlike iBA, most of the content needs to be prepared outside the app and inserted. There are quite a few such applications so you would need to evaluate each against your needs.
    Pages is available for iPads so I assume that it will produce ePubs as it does on Macs.
    If your ambitions for creating eBooks to distribute via the iBookstore, iBA is the best application currently available although InDesign seems to be the choice of those creating "novels" with minimal illustration.
    I do not have any connection in any way with any of the apps other than as a user.

  • Ibook like app for iMac

    is there any ibook like application for iMac os x?. if yes then what?

    Nope and isn't this quite amazing?  What is Apple thinking? Kindle, Nook, and the others make an app or reader for every platform.  iBooks is for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.  They are missing quite a bit of the market.  I have both PCs and iMacs.  I don't use iBooks because I can't read them on the PC or iMac.  However, I can read all the others on PCs, Macs, my iPad.
    By the way Apple, I dumped my iPhone last year for a high end Android phone.  I now also don't use iTunes that much anymore either.  I suggest you make iTunes available through Android before you lose that market also.

  • App for reading documents

    Does anyone know of any apps that read documents?

    Could you provide some more detail?  "Documents" can be in many different formats, to suggest an app it is helpful to know which one you are talking about.  Common formats are .pdf, .doc, .pages, .epub, .html etc.

  • App for reading discussions?

    Hi peepz,
    Is there an app where I can read these discussion forums from apple in a nice layout?
    And with offline reading?
    It would be it for me... I only have a wifi iPad....

    Stay tuned. Apple is working on a new version of the Discussions
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2540747
    and if they move to a newer version of Jive (the software that runs the Discussions) as seems likely, Jive already has an iPhone app for that newer version . Apple hasn't announced anything further since the announcement above, but it's apparently still in the works, so perhaps we'll hear more in the near future.
    Regards.

  • Ipad app for displaying pdf bookmarks

    I have the new 3rd generation iPad and I'm looking for an iPad app that will display bookmarked PDF's in a manner similar to how they are displayed on my computer (i.e., bookmarks listed in the navigation panel on the left side of the screen and the PDF document to the right of that).  I have the iBooks app but it only displays the bookmarks in the Table of Contents and doesn't show the document itself simultaneously.  I also have the free Adobe Reader app; however when I tap the bookmarks icon at the bottom of the app it only shows a few bookmarks even though the document contains many more (lately it also seems to crash whenever I try to use it).
    The PDF documents I review on a monthly basis are fairly large (2,000+ pages with 200+ bookmarks per document).  The ability to do some basic annotations would also be nice but not essential since I would do any serious annotation work to the file in Adobe Acrobat Professional on my computer.  Obviously, there are numerous PDF apps available but I can't tell from their descriptions if they will display the bookmarked files in the manner I want.  Any suggestions from users who have actual experience with various apps would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hey,
    I know this is not a reply to your question but I just wanted to ask you about a problem I encountered while  mail merging. The steps I follow: Create a mail merge in Microsoft Word using the necessary steps ( I am pretty sure that they are correct) and  then press the  Finish & Merge button. The messages are then in my configured Outlook's outbox. The problem is that they have been in the outbox for a whole night ad not even one message got sent.
    Please reply if you kow the answer.
    Thanks.

  • Using the Kobo App for reading FXL on Android and Windows devices?

    Hi, I am just finishing transferring my iPad App into a FXL ebook so I can get it out to a wider audience now that this technology is available, but I have so far only tested it on a Mac with both the iBooks and Kobo Apps. I also tested with Adobe Digital Editions, but this seems to have a bit of a bug when you use a button to click to another page the new page appears zoomed in and cropped off!
    Has anyone tested FXL on the Kobo App on a Android and/or Windows device, tablet, smartphone, laptop etc and if so does it work the same as on the OS Mac version?
    Cheers
    Gia

  • Does Adobe offer a mobile app for editing PDFs?

    I'M looking for a mobile app that can be used on a Chromebook or iPad that provides the PDF editing functions offered by Acrobat.  Does Adobe offer such a product?  If not, what do you recommend from the currently available apps.

    AFAIK, no.
