Issue opening pdf's in ibook app

Updated IPAD2 to IOS 5.0.Now having issues with opening PDF's from external apllications in ibooks. The pdf files which are already in ibooks works fine and the pdf it self i can read in other applications too on ipad when i try to import the pdf in to ibooks by selecting open in ibooks nothing is happening.
What is going on any help will be appreciated.

I know what you mean but the only thing is left for you is to backup and the reset you iPad to see if the issue is present after that or not. When your iOS is normally installed it could only be the app that's not working without problems. Or maybe wait for the next iBooks update and see if it fixes the bug with the .pdf's. At least you now have an app with that you can read them.

I can't open pdf files with Ibooks app. The files open for some seconds and then they disappear! Thanks

Files open and disappear in few seconds!

It sounds like the app is crashing for whatever reason. Start with simple, easy things.
Quit iBooks and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If those things do not help - you may want to consider deleting the iBooks app and reinstall it. Make sue that all of your books and pdf files have been backed up and synced with iTunes before you delete the app.

I have been able to open pdfs created in older versions of adobe, but not the newest version. Is anyone having issues opening PDFs sent via email created in version 9?

Can you open the files in Preview?

HT204365 Open PDF's with iBooks

I want to open PDF's with iBooks. I am using Mavericks, so I drag and drop the files in the iBooks library and still opens with adobe. I also try the "open with" option and it says the file is damaged.

Hi,
When I open PDF's in Ibooks, it uses preview not ibooks. So I presume that your default for PDFs is adobe. I suggest that you post your query on the iBooks for mac forum.

Hi arewers,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

Problem opening pdf file from an app built by Flash Builder 4.5

problem opening pdf file from an app built by Flash Builder 4.5

The iPad and iPhone have NEVER supported Flash and never will. In fact, Adobe is no longer distributing Flash builds to mobile devices.
Time to move on...

Issue opening pdf's in IE8 XP

Hello,
I'm having trouble opening pdf's through an internet sharepoint. When left clicking them the page either refreshes or gives the error "Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem."
I can open the files by right click -> open in new window/tab, copying the file location and entering in the search bar, saving to my pc and opening. Any method works besides simply left clicking!
Any ideas would be appreciated

Can't open pdf file with iBook in mac

It's great to see iBook in mavericks, but everytime i tried to open pdf in ibook, it always open in preview instead even its ibook shelf already, is there anyone out there having the same issue?

Do you want al your PDF's to open in iBooks?
Right click any PDF -> get info -> under "open with" select iBooks"
to open a pdf file with iBooks in OS X 10.9 so I know it can be done.

So tell me, when any of this PDF files is open, what app button is just next to Apple logo ? I did it your way and i still can see Preview, not iBooks.
Like i said. You can store your PDF files in iBooks, just right next to the books which you have purchased from iBooks store. iBooks app can by used to manage your pdf files like iphoto is used to manage your photos. BUT to read this PDF OS X 10.9 will use Preview by default (unless you have other PDF Viewer set to open pdf by default).

Problems opening PDF files in iBooks (iPad2)

Hi, my PDF files that I can open in my iPhone 4 can't be open through the iBooks app in my new iPad 2. Any suggestion??

You might try an alternate app, such as Goodreader. There are several app available in the app store that can handle PDFs.

HT4059 I saved approx. 50 important PDF-Documents in ibooks-App. Now all of them are disappeared!

I did the last update at 7th of Nov. 2013 before I update my Ipad Mini to IOS 7 (V7.0.3) from IOS 6.
After the update all my PDF-doucments were available in ibooks-App.
Yesterday I would like to check one of the documents and the PDF-Folder in ibooks was empty.
So what happens??
If I restore my IPAD Mini with the last backup (07.11.2013) and I open the ibooks-App again I can see all the doucments, but only for a few seconds.
After that, it looks like they will be deleted and again no objects available any more in the PDF-Folder!!!
Further I did the update to V7.0.4 but nothing changed. After restore - same result!
Could it be, that there's is a bug in IOS7?
If you have any idea please let me know.
The documents are really necessary for me.
Thanks!

Are you backing the iPad up to to an OS X-based computer? Knowing more about the systems involved will help troubleshoot.

Facing problems to open PDF files in iBooks in my Mac, how can I fix it?

I didn't use to have problems opening and reading my PDF files in iBooks.
However, yesterday my MacBookPro started not to open any PDF files.
Its books, the app would open normally, but PDF files it just blinks the apps at the bottom of its screen but do not open any file.

Hello,
I guess my question here is why would PDF's open in Preview and not in iBooks? What is the point of adding them to iBooks if it just route them elsewhere?
Thanks,
Robert

Are you trying to say that all of the apps mentioned are running as
XENapps? If not please specify which are local vs remote.
What is the client OS being run as that may also factor in.
Worth trying another PDF reader such as FoxIT reader to better see
which side is driving that behaviour.

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.

Issues Opening PDFs with Reader 10.1.5

Since upgrade to Adobe Reader 10.1.5 our users have had problems opening PDF files. Most times it takes at least 5-6 attempts at trying to open the file and sometimes it just never opens. It doesn't matter if the PDF is in an email, local, on the network or on the Internet.
For now, I have put them back on 10.1.4 with no issues. Any ideas if this is a known issue with 10.1.5 and if there will be a patch released soon?
Windows 7
Thanks!

I am having a similar problem and was wondering if there is an update yet. I am running Windows 7 and Acrobat 9 Pro. I can open local PDFs in Acrobat. If I am in IE links for PDFs open in Acrobat, however, in Chrome PDFs don't open and I usually, eventually get this message:
Also, when I tried to open Reader, I got a few messages that went by quickly that couldn't capture, but one said something like "looking for updates." Then nothing opened. However, when I opened Task Manager, I saw several processes for AcroRd32.exe *32.
This has been going on for a couple of weeks and previously I have rebooted and this has sometimes fixed the problem. But this doesn't seem to work anymore. A couple of days ago I rebooted and was able to open Reader and run repair. It appear to fix the problem, but now it's back again and this time I am not even able to open Reader to run repair again.
If there is no response in the short term, I will uninstall and reinstall to see if it corrects. If that doesn't work I will see if I can install an earlier version.

I am having issues opening PDF files in safari, I am running OSX 10.5.6

When I attempt to open any PDf files it will either go to choose viewer to open this type file? (None available in selections?) Or just goes to a black screen where you can only cancel to get out of it.
I was told that OSX automatically opens PDFs in Safari etc. If I right click the file / link and save linked files to download then I can open them. Is there anyway to have safari open them with the proper app automatically?
Thank you for all replies.
Dan

OK, now we're on the same page. I didn't realize it but I can't open pdfs either. I'm on a brand, new iMac and pdfs don't work for me anymore. It also doesn't work in Firefox. I'll need to do some checking for both of us.
What does work is when the cog wheel stops rotating you can save the pdf via the File->Save As menu in Safari.
