Pdf into iBooks

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.

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.

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

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?????

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

I can no longer add epubs or PDFs into iBooks

I already have a few epubs and PDFs on my computer and wanted to add them to iTunes in order to get them onto my iPad. It used to be easy enough to do. Now it does nothing. I tried to add them via the menu, I tried dragging them as well. I have Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.3 (the latest version at this current time). Is there a simple fix without having to follow a list of twenty actions such as rolling back or deleting this and moving that? Surely I'm not the only one with this simple problem?
I would appreciate anyone's help.
Thanks,
Grant
UPDATE: Disregard. It seems i Have to open the file first in iBooks on my Mac before adding it to the library in iTunes. It didn't work prior to that. Seems odd, but at least it solves the problem.

The "for older video cards" version is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit core application, a similar package to all previous 64-bit releases of iTunes. It is a potential workaround for any compatibility problem with the full 64-bit version of iTunes, in addition to its intended use for systems where the 64-bit version of iTunes won't work with your graphics adaptor.
Another possible workaround is to roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

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.

Why do pdf's imported into ibooks open in adobe reader?

I imported a PDF file into iBooks, expecting it to behave as the other books in there.
However, when I go to open the book, it is opened in adobe acrobat instead - why is that? I don't see anything in the preferences?
If importing a PDF into iBooks doesn't add the iBooks experience for bookmarks, highlights, etc., what is the purpose? Is it just for organization? That would seem rather less than interesting.
Thanks,
Robert

Hello,
Do all PDFs open in Firefox now? If so then it seems your Default Programs have been changed in Windows.
If you have a PDF file saved on your computer handy:
# Right click on the PDF and Properties
# Under the General tab, beside "Opens with" is probably Firefox, click the button "Change"
# Select Adobe Reader and press "OK"
Alternatively if you cannot find a PDF file saved on your computer:
# Go to Start > Control Panel > Default Programs
# Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program
# Scroll until you find the filetype ".pdf"
# Click the "Change program..." button
# Select Adobe Reader followed by "OK"
Hopefully that fixes it for you.

I would like to make free hand notes on PDFs in iBooks. How do I do this?

I do quite a bit of downloading of articles/PDFs into iBooks. I would like to be able to make fre hand notes on the articles when I read them. Is this possible? Or will it become available?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

I`d like to know how can i insert documents, xls/doc/pdf into iCloud and have them in my iPhone and my iPad. I just found one way, through ibooks, but i think it isn't a practical option.

Just use Drop Box instead.

PDF loaded into iBooks will not sync back to iTunes

I accessed a PDF on the web from Safari on my iPhone 4s, then opened it in iBooks. Then I connected the iPhone to my iMac and synced with iTunes. I was expecting the new PDF to sync back to my iTunes, but that did not happen.
Am I to assume that PDF files loaded into iBooks on my iPhone or iPad will NOT sync back to iTunes?
-Thanks

It was VERY difficut, but I finally did it!
First I was annoyed because I couldn't get the PDFs to show in my iTunes Library. As near as I can tell, performing a backup of my iPad did that. In the past 'Transfer Purchases' did the job.
What nearly drove me bonkers was getting the content of my iBooks Library to sync to the device. There was just no way to do it. Not my PDFs and not even the purchased books! I tried to get the Library on the left and my iPad on the right so I could drag and drop. NOPE.
I played around a while and finally got both to show on the screen so I could drag and drop. STUPID
What I think worked for me: I started in Music Library and clicked on the +Add to icon on the top right. This pulled up my iPad for drag and drop. Then I switched the button on the top left from 'music' to 'books'. Finally I could remove or add my content to iBooks.
It worked perfectly before, why did they change it!
The music App makes me drag and drop, which I never had to do before. All I had to do was check or uncheck songs in a playlist and sync the playlist.
Apps works fine, no complaints.
Podcasts, another fine mess...
I noticed Video was fixed when I went back in.
Oh, the kicker, my iTunes is not responding today.
