Outside PDF transfer from iBook to nook

I recently bought a travel guidebook online from an outside source other than iTunes. However, when asked what program I wanted to use to open it I chose iBook. Since the book I downloaded was in PDF format I can not highlight portions of it using iBook. I am wondering if there is anyway to transfer it to nook so that I can highlight passages. Also the device I am using is an iPad if that changes anything. Thanks for any help.

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

HT204365 How to email pdf files from iBook in iPad?

Why I can only see "print" but no "email" button when i open my pdf files in iBooks? As far as i know i should be able to email my pdf files from ibooks right?

Yes you should be able to email a PDF from iBooks. When you tap the arrow in the upper left the option should appear.
Maybe some basic troubleshooting steps will help.
Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. 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.
Or .... Reboot 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.
You may want to consider deleting the app and reinstalling. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Download iBooks again.

How do I import and export PDF's from Ibooks

How do I import and export PDF files from Ibooks on the IMAC running Mavericks?
How do I sync my PDF files in IBooks to the IPAD when they were not purchased from the bookstore?
I noticed that I could email the PDF and then add it to IBOOKS on the IPAD.
Is there a 3rd party IBOOK type reader that will address this issue?
When I upgraded Mavericks it moved all of my PDF files in ITUNES application to IBOOKS and removed all reference to those
books in ITUNES. When I purchase a book from IBOOKS store on the IMAC, the books shows up in IBOOKS on the IPAD.
All of my PDF files will not sync up with the IPAD.
I do hope this is a problem that Apple will address and would like to know when the fix will be available.

Hello,
Thank you. I found that option you pointed out. I can now change it from 1080i to 1080p and I can chance the resolution. However I still can't change the frame rate. It still stays at 29.97.
Could this be due to the camera? I am using a Canon VIXIA HF S100 with 30p and 24p frame rate options. I suspect that it does not really shoot at true 24p and only does 24p within 60i.
Frankly, I don't really care about getting 24p support too much but it would be very nice to have the option.
I'll keep toying with the program. Still, anymore ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Wild Giles.

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.

I cannot recover my pdf files from ibooks after upgrading to os 6

Does anyone know how to recover pdf files from ibooks after os 6 upgrade?

In your next-to-last post, you said: "... when I recovered the iBooks app, it was empty due to having a different owner of the app."
I'm suggesting you change the owner of the app and maybe then it won't be empty.
You can delete/remove the app and get your own from the app store and install it. Maybe then you'll see your PDFs.

How do i move a collection of PDF's from iBooks to my desktop?

I have 100's of PDF's in iBooks on my iPad that I now want to move to my desktop?
I don't want to email each one and re-file them.
When I go to sync with iTunes I get scay mesagess saying all the data on my ipad will be erased!!!
When I transfer purchases it move books that I have purchased but not PDF's that I have created

I don't know of an efficient way to copy all the PDFs in one go, although it might be possible using a thrid party tool. If your iPad isn't associated with your current library however see the user tip Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

How do i transfer pdf files from ibooks to pc?

I have downloaded some PDfF files directly from online to my iBooks, and I want to transfer them to my PC. I have synced them with itunes , but do not see those particular files. What do I need to do?

Connect your iPad to your computer. Open iTunes, control click the iPad in the Sidebar and Transfer Purchases. You could also email them to yourself.

How i can transfer my PDF Files from iBooks APP to a PC?

if you can answer my question in Spanish could be better

Have you tried File > Transfer Purchases when connected to your computer's iTunes ?

My PDFs disappeared from iBooks after upgrading to iOS 8 on iPad Air

I've just upgraded my iPad air to iOS 8, via iTunes, and restore process. I had a fresh backup, so my iPad has all on it just as before except my PDFs in iBooks. There are just the purcheses in it. Is there any way to get my files back?

All; I had the same exact issue and there is a quick remedy for this which I'll outline below. Even the Senior level tech at Apple was unaware of this and I figured it out myself.
Once your iPhone is connected to iTunes and docked to your Mac, you'll note that there exists a tab, 2nd from right in iTunes 11.4 named 'Books.'
Select this tab and you'll note all of your purchased books and PDF's you've previously chosen to reside in iBooks app on iOS devices are displayed as a mirror image of what actually resides in your iBooks App that by default should result in your doc on the Mac. You must SELECT all or check individually each respective book or PDF document that you wish to sync with and reside on your iOS device.
Just as is the case with Music or Photos you may elect to manage your library of books and apps MANUALLY. In my case there are certain apps I know I want on my iPhone; conversely, there are apps I want to reside ONLY on my iPad and NOT on my iPhone 6. So this is how you control and manage this aspect of the "iBooks" app or program . It's easy!
Good luck!

HT4059 How do I attach a PDF file from iBooks to a private message on Facebook?

I am trying to send an attachment PDF via private message on FB and when I press attach file on the message only my iPhoto shows up with no option to retrieve the PDF that is currently in my iBooks .

From within the iOS mail app, the only files you have access to for attachment purposes are those located in the Photos app. The Gmail app I cannot respond to. To send a file in Dropbox, you will need to start in Dropbox and use the File function (box with an arrow).
If this is something you need to accomplish on a regular basis, you might wish to consider an alternate email app. Mailbox can handle attachments from Dropbox (but is limited to Gmail and iCloud mail). there may well be others that will handles this.

PDFs disappear from iBooks on iPad

Recently, I installed video material on my iPad which brought it "0.01GB over capacity". I deleted one film to free some space. Soon thereafter, I received an "iTunes can't read the contents of my iPad" error in iTunes and I was unable to install any more videos/audio etc. on my iPad from iTunes. I reset all settings on the iPad, which did not solve the problem. Following an online hint, I deleted the files
/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesControl
/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB
on the iPad (both files had been of size 0 before deletion). Thereafter, iTunes started to see the iPad again, BUT all my PDFs in iBooks became invisible to both iTunes and iBooks. However, all the PDFs still exist in the /Books directory on the iPad, with cryptic four-letter filenames, and they still take up space, appearing in the Other storage category in iTunes. How do I get iBooks to see the PDFs again?

This is just a guess since I know almost squat about Apple and the ios, but if you are able to see the pdf files in the /books directory, could you not back them up to the computer, delete them from your ipad and then reinstall them via iTunes?
Saying that, you have probably already figured out the solution to your problem by now.
Good luck anyway.

Web-downloaded epub files won't transfer from iBooks to iTunes

Hi!
Yesterday, on my iPad, I downloaded two epub files from a website (using Safari) and opened them directly in iBooks. They work fine, show up in my Library with no problem. However, I can't get them to sync down to iTunes. This is definitely not the first time I've downloaded directly to iBooks from an app on the iPad (although maybe a first for an epub from Safari?), but this is the first time I've had issues syncing down to iTunes.
I've synced and resynced and resynced and they won't transfer; not only do they not transfer, but if I open the Books folder on the iPad when it's mounted in iTunes, they're not listed. I could put them on my laptop first and then load them into iTunes and to the iPad from there, but I've highlighted and bookmarked in both books and don't want to lose all of that if it's avoidable.
Any ideas? I'm wondering if there's some limitation of iBooks that I don't know. And if there is, is there a way to now get the epub files out of iBooks some other way? (To maintain bookmarks/highlighting.)
Anyway, thanks in advance
P.S. As a test, I just did the same thing on my iPhone with the same results: file won't sync down and doesn't show up when I browse the phone in iTunes.

i have the exact problem last week when I signed up to receive a free epub in the email.
When the email arrived I proceed to open it in ibook on my iphone and started reading, after 2 chapters I decided to sync the phone with my computer and found that it won't sync the newly downloaded epub, not even showing it in the device list in itunes.
So I tried the same thing on my ipad, download to ibook, sync with computer. Same result: the book was not synced and won't show in ipad's book folder in the device list.
Still haven't found a solution

HELP WITH TRANSFER FROM IBOOK G4 TO NEW INTEL MAC

HI
I just got a new intel mac and want to transfer all my stuff from my ibook G4 ... I tried the migration assistant, I plugged in the fire wire and turned on my ibook whilst pressing the T down. I get the firewire icon on my old machine but the new one still says 'waiting for old machine to restart' It just wont do anything when it gets to that point.
I dont think I'm doing anything wrong but the thing is gettting me aggravated to say the least.
HELP PLEASE!!

Karen can't help there but wanted to warn you.
I did the same thing--iBook G4 to intel iMac, did a "transfer all my stuff" and had problems. At least one G4 program caused my iMac to crash at start-up (it was a special anti-virus program). Also some messy things like the iMac though it was on a wireless network after the copy (like my iBook was) when it was, in fact, on a wired internet connection (it still worked but I got errors in the console log). Just messy.
Once you get your problem sorted out I'd be careful about which programs I transfered over.
