Importing pdfs into iBooks?

Systematically, the name of the file is changed into something completely different from the original title. How can I solve this?

There are other current threads dealing with this problem since the iOS 5 upgrade. It has been brought to the attention of Apple. You can search for these threads if you so wish.
A much superior app is Goodreader and you can read all about if you search for Goodreader in the Apps store. It is inexpensive.

  • Problems Importing pdfs into iBook and sync to iPad air 2

    Is there a solution to what appears to be a widespread problem within the community? That of not being able to import books in pdf form into iBooks and subsequently syncing with an iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1. This seems to be specific to pdfs not 'purchased' from iTunes. In the past I have had all my software manuals available on my iPad, synced with my iMac, all working happily and would dearly love to return this situation.
    I then upgraded to iOS 8. Big mistake. iTunes on the iMac (OS 10.6.8) does not sync pdfs to new iPad.
    Try syncing from MacBookPro (OS 10.10) still no luck.
    There are suggestions to use iTunes, but there is no longer an option to view 'Books' in iTunes.
    Can anybody offer a work around until such times as the collective 'apple digit' is removed and a not so 'minor bug' is fixed?
    Are Apple working on this problem or even aware of it?

    Have you tried the shortcut to add books/pdfs Command Shift O?
    Command Shift O is not available in iBooks (Greyed Out)
    Command Shift in Finder shortcuts to Documents
    Maybe I didn't explain myself very well earlier. When I am working in iBooks, having control clicked multiple files and selected 'Open With iBooks' to get the pdfs into iBooks, (as per your suggestion) a click on a pdf icon initiates nothing, a double click causes the pdf to open in Preview. This I can achieve from the Finder.
    The reason I haven't tried to sync from the MBP is that I rely on iPad iBooks as a reference source. At the moment it is working but not the way I want it to (Sync via iMac 10.8.6). When Ibooks on the MBP is finally OK, then I will try.
    Thanks for hanging in there.

  • I created a book cover in Gimp. How do I import it into iBooks Author?

    Probably a simple question, but I'll ask: I created a book cover in Gimp. How do I import it into iBooks Author?

    It can be in portrait orientation or square, but not landscape.

  • HT204365 PDFs into iBooks/iPad from Mavericks

    When I want to put a PDF into iBooks on my iPad from my iMac with Mavericks, it is nearly impossible.  Before Mavericks, I was able to pick the pdfs from iTunes and they would come over to the iPad.  The only way I have seen to do it is: 1. Email the file (some are too big and won't email) or 2. Re-sync my iPad, which then deletes all of my manually managed music.  It was so much easier before Mavericks.  Why is it so complicated or impossible now?

    You should still be able to do it via iTunes. You can add the PDFs to the iBooks app on your Mac via File > Add To Library and then sync them to your iPad in the same way as you did before Mavericks : select the iPad device and use its Books tab to select and sync them

  • Importing PDF to iBooks Author

    I have a double column book in PDF format of over 300 pages. Is there some way (other than dragging and dropping each of the hundreds of pages into iBooks Author) to import this book into iBooks Author with correct formatting?

    Calibre might work.
    The dual column could be an issue though.
    If it doesn't work, here's a "How To Geek" article on the topic.
    http://www.howtogeek.com/80098/convert-pdf-files-to-word-documents-and-other-for mats-2/
    There's a bunch of online options given here.  I think they're all free for documents up to a certain size.

  • Importing PDF into Indesign

    Is it possible to import PDf documents into the current version of Adobe Indesign ? I am currently testing the software and was wondering if it would be possible to import around 50 of my already published PDF docs to work on it and redesign it with Indesign ?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi @plummerdesign and @MasterStudios - indeed, it is a crying shame our website does not work in IE and they are looking into this. Thank you. We do not have a demo for several reasons and can understand your point. We do have numerous forms of detailed video demsontrations on PDF to InDesign via PDF2DTP here and we have some awesome testiominals from graphic arts industry experts, Frank Romano, Michael Jahn, Joe Marin and more (click on the hyper links on their names to view what they say about PDF2DTP).
    One of many customer quotes we have include this:
    "Really pleased to have this product [PDF2DTP for InDesign].  The Beta version was really good and saved me loads of hassle with amends to pdfs."
    Graham Bell - http://www.absolutegraphics.co.uk
    Another quote is:
    “We have a lot of PDFs from „Word“ ;-) Before PDF2DTP, we used PitStop for the corrections, now we can do it better! As a recent example, we had come in an advert in PDF for a meeting. The ad was in RGB, Fonts not included, the trim and bleed were not correct, etc. I open it with the PDF2DTP plugin and it works very nice. A little bit of touching-up work on the pictures and the colours, but not much… Thanks for the app!”
    Dirk Rosenplänter
    Blueprint Werbeagentur e.K.
    Hopefully this helps you see how useful and yet still affordable PDF2DTP for InDesign is. It is truly a gem, especially when all you have left is the said PDF! Thank you for the feedback and we will strive to better that side of it, for sure.

  • Importing PDFs into Documaker

    We are in the process of refiling our contracts for a new look-and-feel. The vendor is supplying us with PDFs, but they import into Documaker as embedded graphics. The problem is: we have a lot of text on them that we want to make dynamic (depending on state-specifics, etc).
    Does anyone have any ideas about how to cleanly import PDFs? Or maybe someone has a conversion utility that works well (we have had great success in importing Word docs into Studio).
    Thanks in advance.
    Dave

    Hello,
    There are three options for doing the same. I am just giving from our earlier experience.
    1. If you are going to use Documaker Studio 12.0, you will have an option to import PDF directly as you could do an RTF or Doc.
    2. If you are using an earlier version,
    a) You may convert the PDF to a Word Doc or RTF using one of the available utilities and import the RTF or Doc. Only from 11.5, you have an option to directly import Word document. Prior versions support only RTF import.
    b) There is an utility called "Quark" which aids in converting PDF to Sections or FAPs. However, it did not give us a 100% clean conversion; we did lot of clean up with respect to alignment, font etc after the import in order to make it appear as per our expectation.
    Thank you.

  • Getting PDF into iBooks from Mail with IOS 7?

    OK, on my iPad 3......pre IOS 7, someone coud emal me a PDF and I would click it in Mail and it would give me the "OPTION" to view or open in iBooks. Because I wanted it in iBooks, I would click that and all was good.
    NOW with IOS 7.....I get this "Preview" of the PDF.....when I click it, I get "Save Image" or "Copy".
    If I click Save Image, it puts something in my Camera Roll that I cannot even see? If I hit Copy, I guess it's on the Clipboard...but I still cannot get it into iBooks.
    HOW DO I GET A PDF that was emailed to me from Mail to iBooks using IOS 7????
    Thanks for your help.
    Yours,
    Kirk

    lizdance40:
    OK...here is what it is.......
    I open a WORD Document on my Mac using MS Word 2008 for Mac Version 12.3.6 (130206) Latest Installed Update:  12.3.6.
    I then click SAVE AS:   and I choose PDF.
    I then email that PDF to myself via standard Mac Mail...and recieve it in my iPad via standard Mail.
    It shows up as a photo....I click on it in MAIL on my iPad and I only have the OPTION to "Save Image"...and that puts it in the Camera Roll...but not as a PDF or....COPY....and I can't do anything with that.
    NEXT....I tried it this way.
    I open the document in MS WORD....click PRINT...then PDF from my MAC....and save it as a PDF.....do that same thing above...and I get the same results.
    So...it is NOT a photo...it is a MS WORD Document.....I have tried this not only on my iPAD but also on an iPHONE 5 running IOS7 and get the same results.
    HOW DO I FIX THIS?????
    AS INFO.........
    If I SAVE the PDF to something like Dropbox....then got to Dropbox on my iPad or phone...then click it I have the option to put it in iBooks...and it works perfectly.......
    So...the "ISSUE" to me is not with the PDF....as it does work when saved that way...the issue is with IOS7 and how it views a PDF in Mail.
    ANY SUGGESTIONS?????

  • Do MathType equations in Word import effectively into iBooks Author?

    I am looking for the best way to build MathType equations in Word to successfully import into iBooks Author.

    That seems like an extra step. Since iBooks Author (iBA) already has a "MathType Equation" command on its Insert menu, why not do it directly from iBA?
    If, however, you want to do it as you describe (or perhaps you have an existing Word document and you want to use its equations in iBA -- that makes sense), you'll need to build the equations in Word, then select the one you want (i.e., click on it once), copy it, then use the Insert > MathType Equation command in iBA. When MathType opens, paste the equation into the window. Close MathType and the equation will insert into iBA.
    Incidentally, WRT TX Aggie SE's suggestion to use the MS Word Equation Editor, I think you'll find that'll produce less than satisfactory results in iBA, no matter if you use the "old" equation editor, or the "new" one that was introduced in Word 2011.

    How I loaded a PDF into my iBooks ?

    They must be converted to the proper format for iBooks. You can convert them with a program called Calibre - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Import PDF into Framemaker 7?

    Greetings
    Using FrameMaker 7 in Windows XP.
    I have some 11 × 17 drawings (created in AutoCad) that I receive in PDF format. They are high quality line-drawings. When I zoom in they are of high quality, the print menu shows them as 200dpi and the print quality is very good.
    I need to import them into Framemaker but when I do, they come in at what is clearly NOT high quality. The notes can't be read and the like. I've tried opening them in Photoshop (low quality), I've tried doing Save As.. and choosing JPG (low quality).  I even tried saving as RTF.. same thing.
    Ultimately, what I want is to bring the high quality pdf image into Framemaker, but it's not retaining the quality.
    I've seen some suggestions in the forum, but none that seem to address this situation.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Solon

    The "200dpi" was something I observed at some point, possibly when I had copied/pasted into Photoshop, I'd have to look at it again. When these paste to Framemaker, or are saved as RTF, or I use the Acrobat tool for 'grabbing' images (Sorry,don't remember the name), they look AND print like 72dpi or something. I can't read the notes and callouts, so I can't use them.
    Solon,
    Arnis is definitely correct, there shouldn't be any "dpi" applicable with a CAD PDF. Should be vector, although "resolution independent" is often not completely true, since many CAD apps convert curves (bezier, spline) to polylines consisting of many straight segements.
    I say Auto-Cad because in the lower-right corner, with other document information, it says "Auto-Cad - No Manual Changes" and I know we have people who use Auto-Cad.. perhaps it was "UG" ... apparently another drawing program.
    I can zoom and zoom and zoom.. but I didn't zoom to the end of the earth. If they're vector, they'll never lose resolution, right?
    If it's vector, should I be able to open them in Illustrator? (I recall being unable to, but I've tried so many things I may not have tried Illustrator)
    AutoCAD and UG (= Unigraphics) are able to create vector output. Yes, you should be able to open such a file in Illustrator.
    I don't scale them to fit pages, I get them as 11 × 17 (I turned on the rulers to confirm). Though if I print one and it prints on 8.5 × 11, it's a delightfully clear drawing. Better readability than if I put the image in Frame or save as RTF then print on 11 × 17.
    I'm beginning to suspect that you're right in the 'bad PDF' idea..   I was surprised that I couldn't open one in Frame.
    All the things you describe sound like a well-known problem: Are you trying to print on a non-PostScript printer? These are exactly the symptoms:
    - Acrobat prints PDFs clearly, because Acrobat itself rasterizes images for output on non-PS printers.
    - FrameMaker prints 72dpi preview images, because EPS (and converted PDF) images are only correctly interpreted by a PS printer driver
    - Doing anything image related using RTF is a bad, bad idea in any case. Regarding vector graphic it's a bad, bad, bad idea
    I'll be back at work tomorrow morning, I'll check a couple of things out. One person has suggested I get a copy of a program that'll translate the DWG file (I have access, if I need it) to other formats.
    So, my question now is if it IS Vector, will I be able to zoom the PDF in acrobat and basicaly never lose resolution? (I always thought that once you PDF it you lose the zoom capability).
    If a PDF is vector, zoom capability is preserved. Illustrator opens PDF and DWG, which gives you control over line weights and colors. Better than doing it in Acrobat. Anyway, a placed vector PDF in FrameMaker 7.x should work, but is only printed correctly when using a PS printer or the Adobe PDF printer. Same with EPS. One bug with PDFs in FM7: Black/greyscale PDFs appears on *all* four color separations.

  • Ungrouping an imported pdf into Illustrator

    Is there a way to ungroup the elements of an imported pdf in Illustrator 6? Do you have to change the settings in Adobe Acrobat first to allow the elements to import individually rather than a group? Thank you.

    Angie,
    You should be able to Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+G to Ungroup once it is in Illy. If there is a Clipping Mask or something blocking the way, you may release that. You can see it in the Layers palette.
    Illustrator 6
    The one from 1996 or the slightly newer one called CS6/16?

  • Importing PDFs into Photoshop

    Hi,
    Easy question I assume, but for some reason am stuck.
    Have been creating linework in CAD and printing to PDFs. Set up a new document in photoshop, A1, 300ppi, RGB colour 8 bit. When I go to 'Place' the PDFs into the blank document, all the linework is extremely feint. I assume this has something to do with the settings?
    Many thanks in advance

    If the lines are too thin for further processing then you can apply in Acrobat Pro
    Advanced > Print production > Fix hairlines
    Here for Acrobat Pro 8, maybe in a different location in newer versions.
    Vector files can be modified by Illustrator but Fix hairlines is really simple.
    Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

  • Embed pdf into iBooks Author

    Hi,
    I've been creating a book in iBooks Author.
    But the customer wants to include some pdf articles into the book.
    What i have tried so far:
    drag and drop pdf -> only imports first page of the pdf
    PDF to Keynote -> bad quality, not zoomable
    HTML widget with:
    A <object data="myPDF.pdf" type="application/pdf"></object>
    This gives some sort of source code of the pdf
    HTML widget wit a object but the data referece to a pdf that is on the internet
    => shows the pdf but you can not navigate to the other pages
    redirect to a pdf that is on the internet
    => shows the pdf and you can scroll to the other pages W00t!
    Now i want this result but with a pdf that is embedded into the widget so that the reader shouldn't be connected to the internet to read the pdf...

    Okay, so sticking with an English book which has Hebrew text in it. Assuming that the book has been first typeset in IDCS6, then would recommend simply sending the ePUB3 file to the iBooks store?
    Yes.  For testing, just email or otherwise transfer it to your iPad and see what it looks like in iBooks.
    I assume you've seen the stuff Adobe produces, like
