,pdf files not showing in iTunes podcast

I have always successfully included .pdf files as accompanying notes for my students' enhanced podcasts. It's always worked very smoothly and well - up to Feb 2009. Since then this function has ceased to be successful. I have had to create a separate page in my iWeb site for downloading .pdf files. Its a real pain for students as they can't get thei9r notes simultaneously with the podcast lecture. Can anyone please advise? Thanks

I am having the same problem with iWeb. This feature used to work. I confirmed that this is not an iTunes issue because I am successfully posting PDF files from another podcast publishing tool and it shows up as intended fine iTunes.

Why do changes to a .pdf file not show up in iBooks?

I have a number of important and useful documents in .pdf format that are stored in iBooks on my iPad. I added a new document to the iTunes library and then synced the iPad. Voila! The new document showed up in the PDFs section of the iBooks collections. Then, I recognized that I needed to update some information in the document, so I opened the original (on my Mac) in Adobe Acrobat and added a few comments using the Typewriter tool. I then reimported it to the library in iTunes, then synced the iPad again. My added material was not in the document as it appeared in iBooks. OK, I deleted it from iTunes, synced the iPad again and the file was gone from iBooks, as I intended. I then reimported the new file with the added material into the iTunes library and synced again. The file still did not show my added material. I can look at the file in iTunes, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, even Preview and the file looks fine. I even changed the file name. The only place it does not look right is in iBooks. I can print it in any of the aforementioned applications and it looks fine. I suppose I could print it, scan it and then import it to iTunes yet again, but that seems to be kind of a stupid workaround.
I have done everything I can possibly think of. I have deleted the file from iBooks on the iPad, then deleted the file from iTunes, restarted, burrowed into the iTunes Library file (Users->myname->Music->iTunes->iTunes Music->Books->filename) and deleted the file directly from there and then emptied the Trash, restarted the iPad after deleting the file from iBooks, tried adding the information as a text box in Acrobat (instead of using the Typewriter), I've shaken my fist repeatedly, burned some white sage, even considered throwing my iPad across the room.
In desperation, I finally printed and scanned the page I needed, then opened the original file in Acrobat, added the new page and deleted the old one. Then, I reimported the file into iTunes and synced the iPad. Now I have what I need with the same file name as before. It's actually the same file, just modified by swapping pages. But, why in the **** can I not just add what I want to that particular page using Acrobat and then reimport that?
I am not a newbie. I still have my old Mac Plus out in the garage. I use Acrobat, Photoshop, Bridge and InDesign on a regular basis, so I am no stranger to Adobe products. Am I missing something? Something unbelievably simple?
(OK, deep, cleansing yoga breath...)
Even though I found a workaround, I'd still like to know why I couldn't do what I wanted to do.

Thanks, Demo, I'll give that a shot. On the other hand, I really don't want to have some files in iBooks and other ones in Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader will let me organize them in folders, it might be a great solution.
However, there's no ".pdf management" involved here. It's simply "Read the #%€\#^% .pdf file I gave you" and there is nothing to "manage". Whatever opinions Apple has about Adobe, .pdf is a fact of life and should not require any handstands and backsprings just to read a file. (Are you listening, Apple?) I refinanced my home with .pdf files; print it, sign it, scan it, e-mail it back. (OK, calm down, it'll be all right... Sigh...)
Whatever the result, I'll report back.
Thanks again.

S.O.S. Audio files not showing up in Podcast

OK, here's the deal. After I submit new audio files for inclusion in my podcast at iTunes, the new files show up in the xml file, but not in the Podcast. I use a third party application (Podcast Maker). Does Apple provide a native way of adding audio files to podcasts? I need to get this fixed fast. Thanks!

A podcast is a single file.

Sync'd files not showing up in Podcasts

Having two issues with podcasts. I am using OSX 10.10 beta and iPhone 6+ 8.0.2
I have many mp3 files that i import into iTunes and then change media type to podcast so that i can use the Podcast app on iPhone to play them with the skip ahead / skip back buttons.
First problem is that it sometimes takes multiple syncs before the files are transferred over to iPhone even though they are marked as new and unplayed.
Also, sometimes the file will be synced across to the iPhone and will NOT be shown in the pod cats app although they are there when i do spotlight search on the phone and are listed under podcasts. I have checked all the settings on the podcast app to show all episodes, etc but still having this issue.
I tried changing type to audiobook and again same issue arises in that takes many tries before the files are actually synced over and then not "seen" by the music app as audiobook files although they are clearly on the phone.
Any ideas?

When you say you "have podcasts", how did the files get on to your computer?
I have subscribed to Podcasts in iTunes and I can confirm that (like RobHoward7) I also have some of those Podcasts showing up in the *Music library*, but mine also appear in the *Podcasts library* . I was under the impression that all the tags in a Podcast were added by the Podcast's creator, not iTunes. This is because Podcasts are not specific to iTunes and not controlled by iTunes, it simply lists them and +goes off to download them+ if asked for by the user. If so, that seems to suggest that it's not iTunes at fault.

As an enthusiast of Podcasts, I can say that for various reasons workarounds are definitely not the answer.
My older iPod, (30Gb video) has just returned from "battery replacement surgery" (well actually, the whole thing has been replaced, not repaired) and now some Podcasts are showing up in the music library whereas they did not do so before the repair. Perhaps this is a software problem, because I noticed that my "replacement" iPod has a different model number to the one I gave them.

PDF file not showing correctly in Preview or other apps

Hi,
I've trying to find an answer to my question for some time now on the internet, but couldn't find it anywhere. When I open a pdf file from someone who created it using Windows diagrams that are supposed to be Matrices are not showing properly. Most probably the matrices were created using the equation builder in MOffice.
<-- this is supposed to be a matrix
There is also a problem with showing symbols like subscripted or superscripted letters (Arrows represent superscripted or subscripted letters, either up or down):
And for some reason, when I try to quicklook the file, some pages are displayed incorrectly - only showing a quarter of the page:
Any help on this? Is there some sort of an update to solve this problem, or should I download additional fonts??
I am using a Macbook Alu from 2008 with OS X Maverick installed - all latest updates are installed.. (However the same problem appeared when using an iPad)
Thanks a lot i advance!

Hi Carolyn,
I looked at your file and it seems the problem is with the resolution. The design is great but the resolution was too low.
Fortunately your Apple Smart Object was high resolution so I was able to increase the resolution of the file as it is. You will need to replace the Bar Code and possibly the little flower on the back cover with high res versions.
In the future you need to start with the document being sized right and the resolution at 300 ppi. Make sure your graphics are high resolution from the start as well. You can't regain resolution that was left out, although using High Resolution Smart Objects can give you the the latitude you need to size back up.
After I sent the file I looked closely at the font. The one font you used does have zaggies but it's supposed to. Bradley Hand ITC TT is kind of a rough font around the edges by design. If this is what seems to be the problem, you will need to change to another font. Still, the file needed to be higher resolution.
I sent one back to you in high res. All you need to do is replace the bar code and the little flower with high res version. The apple graphic smart object was high enough.

PDF file not showing context

After upgrading to ML I have recived a PDF that if I open with Preview only shows me part of the info (layout tables and bullets) but the text does not show!
The text works for the windows users and I can see it in OmniGraffle.
Anyone an idea what's wrong?
Is it the PDF (i.e. the user who made it) or has it got to do with limitations within preview?
Kind regards,
Dani

Please post a sample of the PDF file itself. If you are not embedding the font in the PDF file, but the PDF file doesn't properly provide the font's name, this symptom will occur. Give as a link to the file and we'll take a look at if for you.

PDF files not showing in Safari Windows

When clicking on a link to a pdf file (example: <a href = 'xxx.pdf'>
I get a blank window.
Have Acrobat Pro, latest version installed.
Is there a special process to install it in Safari? (Windows)
Note: there is a Plugins folder in the Safari app folder, but inside it there iare only two Java plugins.
Maybe the reader is not installed in Safari, if not, how would I install the reader for Safari Windows only?

MP3 files not showing in iTunes on new iMac

Hi - I have recently purchased my first Mac computer. I have copied over all of my music but it seems that all the MP3 files are not playing. It's strange they show in my folder list of itunes and it lets me play them, but in the main itunes folder itself it shows the item with an ! (exclamation mark) saying file could not be found. Any ideas greatly appreciated
Thanks

First, iTunes' default settings are for it to copy music to the iTunes folder structure when you add them (but leave the original in place, although it no longer refers to it), and for iTunes to manage your music for you in a very specific folder structure.
Second, the listing you see in iTunes is not generated by iTunes directly referring to your files. It keeps a library database of the files you have added and in those listings it keeps all the information about that track, including its location on your drive. When you play a track, iTunes uses that listing to go find the media file and play it.
If you do any file renaming, manually deleting, or moving of files and folders, or anything to break that link between where iTunes' library thinks your file is and where it actually is (or was, if you deleted it), you get "!"
You say you are able to play them but iTunes cannot find them. It would help to know how you are playing them if iTunes cannot find them. Are you playing them in Quicktime? Also, you say you see the files, but are they in the iTunes folder structure (assuming you use default settings), or are these the originals?

Images on a pdf file not showing on iPad

I received an email with an attached PDF file. When I open the 250 kb PDF file with 7 pages I do not see any of the images on the document, If I open the same PDF file on my Mac the images are on the document. I have tried opening this PDF file on my iPad by just pressing on the attachment icon and holding my finger on the attachment icon and then selecting Quick Look and "Open with" PDFReader Pro and GoodReader (both apps on my iPad). None of these options show the images

I'm having a similar issue. I have a PDF form for clients to fill out on the iPad that they submit and goes to my email. Well when I check the email on a mobile device (iPhone 4 or iPad 2) the PDF is there but all the fields are blank! If I check the same email from my desktop or lap top the fields are filled in! I can't figure it out, anyone please help:)

Make sure your server has the correct MIME type for PDFs.

PDF files Not showing previews

I recently got a new computer with Windows 8. I installed adobe reader. Unfortunately, none of my PDF files show the preview, as they once had on my old PC. (see image below) I've checked my folder properties and the settings are correct. Is there anyway to fix this?

What PDF viewer are you using for your interactive PDF (Reader, Acrobat, Preview, other)? Did you set a preview in the InDesign Media panel (the default is None)?

Acrobat PDF file not showing any character "i" only after an "f"

I have a file that was provided from an unknown origin. The original PDF is good. After using Acrobat Pro, 11 - every lower case letter "i" if used after a character "f" is missing. Therefore the view shows this: "See f gure #", or "the proper conf guration is", or "in case of f re". The font is Times Roman. The "i" character in error can be searched by using a copy paste of the bad character into the search field dialog box. It can't be replaced however - with a good "i" - by performing a search and replace. The (for lack of a better phrase) "invisible i" can be deleted and a new "i" inserted, but by performing a search, I have 6,700 of them. Doing them individually isn't an option. This document has gone through at least three editors hands, and re-doing what they so painstakingly did - and losing a large amount of work for what appears to be a software glitch is not the preferred option.
I've tried saving as prior versions of PDF, messed with Preflight, printed to a pdf, used different views, embedded / unembedded fonts.
There has got to be a fix for this.
Please help, and thank you.

Adding fuel to the fire... In a document that uses Times Roman as the font, the "i"s have been changed to Minion Pro. Upon further review, all letter "L" - lowercase is also missing, but only after the character "f". A document that says "have a safe flight" now says "have a safe f ight" and the word "reflected" is now "ref ected". The character "lower case L - l " has been changed to the font - Dutch 801 SWA.
I cannot select any of the invisible characters and change the font - as the fonts are greyed out.
Gotta be a fix... this is really bad, and not user error.
