IBooks and PDF embed audio

I heard that ibooks allow embedded audio and video contents in new version. I have PDF embed audio, Does ibooks support this type ?

iBooks has specific guideslines for how audio and video are included in an EPUB file.
For more information, see Liz Castro's eBook on the subject:

IBooks and PDF - Problems

some PDFs which are displayed in iTunes (and work correctly in iTunes) are shown on the iPad as blank sheets - i think it is a problem of ibooks

There is an ibooks forum here:

Ibooks and pdf sync

Will ibooks sync a pdf I save on the iPad or iPhone to iBooks on my Mac?
Not a purchase throught he store?

If you connect your iPad or iPhone to your Mac and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then they should copy over (Transfer Purchases should copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app on the device, not just actual ibooks) - in iBooks on your Mac you might then need to to do File > Move Books From iTunes to move them over to it.

IBooks and PDF default page colours

Hi there,
I was wondering if you can change the page colour of a PDF in iBooks? The default colour is white with black text. Can you change the page default colour to say yellow with black text at all?
Many thanks

Unfortunately not, I'd recommend leaving feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks_ios.html

Embed audio and movie into pdf

Since acrobat pro 9 is not available for mac I don't understand why Apple can't embed audio and movie into pdf. This is a really needed feature. Oh and also creating spreads in pages09 is needed as well. I want to use pages to create ebooks with audio and movie data etc come on Apple get it sorted .. You have an amazing program here and could clout Adobe on the head if you implemented these features.

How to embed audio clips into pdf document

Hello I have a two-hour lecture I've transcribed. There are about 20 paragraphs. I want to embed the audio of the lecture into the pdf document so that when the reader clicks on a paragraph or on a button/control near the paragraph the audio for that particular paragraph starts up. An ideal version of this would be in pdf format and would allow the reader to click anywhere in the pdf and have the audio start from that point. I've never embedded audio before. I also have InDesign, Lightroom and Photoshop and can use them to embed audio before exporting to pdf.

The exact process will depend on the version of Acrobat you have. In AA7, I just selected TOOLS>Advanced Editing>Sound Tool and added a sound file to the document. There were options for AA5 and AA6 compatibility as well as for embedding the sound file in the PDF.
When you select the sound file, it asks if you want to play the file or accept the file as trusted for future requests. The file then played just fine. When I added the link, I was given a box to use to surround the area of interest on the page. You can set the border color and such (like make it invisible, though that might confuse folks).
I am not sure what more you want. It is possible to add audio to open when you open the page also as well as set timing for the page. That would provide a way for the person to essentially have a lecture presented on your system without having to intervene. For the playing of the pages and timing, you may ahve to have the file open in full-screen, not sure.

How can I embed files of word, excel, and pdf format in a pdf document

I have a word document of the product, which I am updating for next product release. However, there are some excel, word, and pdf files embedded within a word document. When I double click these embedded files in word, these files open in a new window. However, we deliver documentation to the customer in the pdf format. Therefore, when I am converting the word document in the pdf format, only an icon of the embedded file is displayed and the files do not open in a new window. Can someone let me know how can I embed these files (in word, excel, and pdf format) in a pdf document?

You must attach them to the PDF file after it is created. You cannot embed file attachments onto a page as you can with Word.

PDFs in iTunes not transferring to iPhone or iBooks and cannot be deleted

I have a few PDF files that I added to iTunes which show up in iTunes under books, but when I either click select all or select those specific books they WILL NOT sync to the actual iPhone. They also WILL NOT transfer to iBOOKS and even worse while they appear in the iTunes library as selectable for copying to devices there DOES NOT APPEAR to be any way to delete or find them.
HELP!!!
I am guessing that the problem has to do with these PDF files NOT being totally compatible with iTunes or iBooks and so they were uploadable, but once there they are stranded and unusable.
Does someone know:
1. How to find these files and delete them from iTunes
2. How to get them into a format that will actually work so I can read them on my phone and other Apple devices.
I am using an iPhone 6 plus with 8.1 and a Macbook Pro with the latest version of Yosemite. I believe that my iTunes and iBooks are also the latest versions.
Thanks.

I have an update. When I convert the original PDF files using CALIBRE to EPUB format (the mac format). I am able to get the files to import directly (ie be added to library) of iBooks and then to iTunes and my phone. I think this confirms that the problem is likely to be one of file incompatibility. However, the file is NOT totally incompatible and so will show up in the part of iTunes where you are supposed to be able to click on it to add it to your device. The problem is that since its not completely compatible clicking on it WON'T allow it to transfer to your device. Fixing this either requires converting this PDF to another PDF format that is compatible, or better yet just convert it to EPUB which presumably will be MORE compatible and allow you to do more features in iBooks (such as resize the fonts etc).
I still have the problem of figuring out how to find and delete the original PDF files which are clearly not any good. I suppose we can go to the root finder level, but where should they be as I don't see them in the iTunes books library?
Any suggestions?

Books and pdf on IPad don't appear in IBooks on MAC

I've read through several solutions to this similar problem and none of the solutions work for me. I've uploaded several ebooks to my mac and they don't appear on the IPad. I've got content (PDF's) on my ipad that doesn't appear on my mac. For example, I've purchased 14 books that appear in the "cloud" and available for download on the Ipad but the purchases in Itunes show 2. I've updated my ipad, mac, ibook and itunes on both devices.
I've had my mac for 6 months and absolutely HATE it. I thought I'd be able to use it to work with files on the Ipad and that has yet to happen. I was hoping to have access to content across devices and that's not happening. At this point I'm feeling very disappointed in Apple products. I've even been to the Apple store and after 3 support people, they couldn't figure it out either.
I'm hoping someone here will know how to fix this.
thanks

What are the other solutions that you've tried ? As you don't say what you've tried I don't know whether you've done the following or not.
ebooks and/or PDFs that you've added to the iBooks app on your Mac will not show on your iPad unless you sync them to it, only ibooks bought from the iBookstore will potentially show in the cloud in the iBooks app on your iPad for redownloading on it. If not all of your ibook purchases are showing in your Mac's iTunes or iBooks apps (I'm assuming that you have Mavericks or Yosemite on your Mac) then try logging out and back into your account on it and see if they then show.
If you are using the 'sync collections' setting in Settings > iBooks on your iPad and in the iBooks app on your Mac then that does not copy books and/or PDFs between devices/computers, all it does is if you put a book/PDF into a collection on, say, your iPad, then if it is also in your Mac's iBooks app then it will be moved into the same collection on that - but if a book or PDF is not already on it then it won't copy it onto it.
If you want the PDFs (and/or epubs) that are in your iPad's iBooks app to also be on your Mac then you need to connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes, do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your Mac's iTunes, and then in the iBooks app on your Mac do File > Move Books From iTunes to move them into it.
Similarly to get PDFs and/or epubs from your Mac to your iPad, connect the iPad to your Mac, select it in your Mac's iTunes, and use its Books tab to select and sync the books/epubs that you want in its iBooks app.

How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

That sounds great, but I'm lost.
I followed these steps:
1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
2) Chose print
The print/printer options pop-up will show.
3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
Am I missing anything?

Pdf files in my iPad2 can't be restored in my new ipad Air's iBooks and iAnnotate

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

I received a replacement iPad. On my original iPad I had dozens of books and PDF's. I completely backed up my original iPad. The categories of my iBook files transferred but NOT the actual PDF and Books. Please help.

Are the PDFs and ibooks on your computer's iTunes ? If so then you should be able to re-sync them, if not then you can re-download ibooks for free as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . The backup doesn't contain the contents of the ibooks app, so for them to be restored to the device they needed to be in your iTunes library.

PDF iBooks and iPad Syncing!!!

I have stored on my iMac pdf files, how do I sync these to my iPad to show in iBooks under pdf collections so I can read them on the move?

I have a pc, not a mac, so I don't know what the menu options look like on a mac, but in iTunes on my computer I can do File > Add File to Library which then allows me to navigate to the PDF (or music file) that I want to add to iTunes - alternatively I can drag the PDF file into iTunes.
The PDF will then appear in the 'Books' library in iTunes (if Books doesn't show then, on a pc, going into Edit > Preferences and ticking Books on the General tab show get it to show). With my iPad connected I can then drag the PDF from the Books library onto the iPad.
